The New Orleans Saints vs the Indianapolis Colts in Miami. This should be a great game. The line looks good too. Who are you going to bet?
New Orleans Saints +6
Indianapolis Colts -6
This line has already moved in the Colts direction. The odds opened at 4.5, and I saw 5.5 this afternoon. Now the spread is at 6. It looks like all the early, big money bettors are lining up on the Colts. I’m not surprised. Indy would have gone undefeated this year if they didn’t rest their best players at the end of the season.
The Saints are a strong team too, and I think a lot of America is going to be betting with the city of New Orleans. A friend of mine, who’s an excellent handicapper and bets big money, told me that he was waiting for all the Indy money to move the odds, and then he would bet the money line. Betting the money line means that he is betting the Saints to win straight up, regardless of the spread. When you bet on the money line, as oppose to the spread, you get better odds on your money. Right now, if you were to bet the Saints to win, you can get them at +175. That means if you bet $100, and the Saints win, you’ll win $175. Not bad.
So the current money line bet is:
New Orleans Saints +175
Indianapolis Colts -210
That means if you bet $100 on the Saints, you can win $175, and in order to win $100 on the Colts, you would have to bet $210. Get it? So if you bet $100 on the Indy money line, and they win, you would win less than $50.
The total bet is also currently available, and the sportsbooks are expecting this to be a high scoring Super Bowl. I hope they are right. High scoring game are more fun.
The current over/under is 56 or 56.5, depending on where you bet it. If you bet this, you are betting on the total score of the game. So if you bet the over, you are betting that the combine scores of both teams will be over 56. If you bet the under, you’re betting that the combine score of both teams is under 56.
So you bet the over on the Super Bowl and Indy wins 32 to the Saints 25. When you add up the scores of both teams it comes to 57, so if you bet the over, you win.
The only Super Bowl prop bet that I can currently find online was already up last week:
2010 Super Bowl XLIV – What will be the result of the Super Bowl XLIV Coin Toss? Wager is on the opening coin toss.
Heads (Coin Toss) -105
Tails (Coin Toss) -105
This is a pretty standard prop bet that’s offered on the Super Bowl. There will probably be another 100 or so prop bets being offered by the end of the week, from everything to “will a kickoff be returned for a touchdown” to how long will it will take for someone to sing God Bless America. Yes, there will be a lot of props to bet on which is great because you can always find some with value.
