Super Bowl excitement is definitely brewing after this weekend’s first NFL playoff games. Yahoo Sports has a list of the best hotels to stay at for the 2011 Super Bowl, Bloomberg has an article about how the odds on the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl have dropped since their win this weekend and Kim Kardashian announced her plans to be in a Super Bowl commercial for Skechers ShapeUps.
Our take on all this news – Yahoo’s hotel list is kind of a stupid. The hotels listed are The Days Inn, The Courtyard and The Holiday Inn. We could have created this list with a simple Expedia search or maybe even less. Bloomberg’s article on the Seahawks’ Super Bowl odds was good. We made the exact same point in our last article, so they were thinking along the same track. Of course, if you think Seattle will win the Super Bowl, but on them now before their next game because if they win again this weekend, their odds will drop further fast. Kim Karadashian’s commercial is for sneakers that help shape your butt. Doesn’t everyone know that her butt had that shape years ago before the Shape Up sneakers were ever invented? Seems like a dumb commercial.
Okay, so we cover some of the Super Bowl coverage that’s currently out there. One thing that I forgot to mention earlier is that you can already bet on the Super Bowl coin toss at the BoDog online sportsbook. I was at their site this last weekend, looking at the lines and prop bets on the NFL wildcard games, and noticed that this prop bet is already up. As usual the odds are -105 for either heads or tails. After all it’s a 50/50 bet.
We covered Saturday’s NFL playoff games is our last article. So now we’ll cover the odds and bets available on the Seattle Seahawks at the Chicago Bears and the New York Jets at the New England Patriots. All four of this weekend’s games will have a lot of prop bets, and we’ll be back with a list of those later in the week.
The Seattle Seahawks travel to the Chicago Bears this Sunday and coverage starts at 1pm EST. Seattle was a big upset this week as they were an underdog by 11 points. They have about the same spread this week. The Bears are currently a 10 point favorite at every online sports book and the over/under is set at an even 40. If you really like Seattle to win this game, you should consider betting them on the money line. The money line odds for Seattle to win straight up vary between +350 to +400 depending on the sportsbook. If you wanted to bet Chicago on the money line, you can currently get them between -440 and -500.
The 4:30 EST Sunday game is between the New York Jets and the New England Patriots. This game has another big favorite in the Patriots. The current odds online show New England to be about an 8.5 to 9 point favorite over the Jets with the over/under set at 45.5 points. If you like the Jets to win this game, you should consider betting them on the money line. It’s currently between +320 to +345 for the Jets to win, and -385 to -410 to bet on the Patriots to win.
One of the reasons that the Patriots are such heavy favorites in this game is their history in the NFL playoffs and past Super Bowls. After the New England Patriots have been to 4 Super Bowls in the last 10 years and have won 3 of them. When it comes to betting on the Super Bowl, the Patriots has proven to be a solid bet.
