A lot of people have asked us what team we bet to win the Super Bowl. Well we don’t make that information public, but believe me we’ve placed than just a bet or two. After this weekend’s games when the Super Bowl teams are determined, there was will literally hundreds of different bets that you can make on this game. You can bet the coin toss, the first TD, the first interception, the Super Bowl MVP… the list of Super Bowl bets goes on and on every year. You should even be able to bet on the singing of the Star Spangled Banner and the halftime show. If there is one event that the Las Vegas sports books love, it’s the Super Bowl.

Right now we’ll look at potential Super Bowl match ups. The first one we’ll look at is the San Francisco 49ers vs. the New England Patriots. These are this weekend’s favorites, so if Las Vegas is right, these two teams are the most likely to meet in the Super Bowl. This would be a great match up between Tom Brady and the Patriots awesome offense against the one of the best defenses in the league. Tom Brady has already been to the Super Bowl 4 times and he’s won it 3 times. Would you bet on him doing it again? Or would you rather bet on Alex Smith, Michael Turner and the incredible 49ers defense to win this Super Bowl match-up? This game would draw huge ratings, and it’d be great to have teams from both coasts playing on Super Bowl Sunday.

The next match up would be the New York Giants vs. the New England Patriots. This would be a rematch of the 2007 Super Bowl were the Giants beat and undefeated Patriots team. This match up would put the two best quarterbacks still in the playoffs into the Super Bowl. Tom Brady vs Eli Manning. According to Bloomberg.com, this matchup in the Super Bowl might become the most-watched show in the history of U.S. television. Brady’s will be supported by a cast of offensive weapons in teammates Rob Gronkowski, Deion Branch, Aaron Hernandez, Wes Welker and BenJarvus Green-Ellis. Eli Manning’s best offensive weapons include Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz, Mario Manningham, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Brandon Jacobs.

The third most likely Super Bowl (according to the odds makers) would be a match-up between the San Francisco 49ers vs. the Baltimore Ravens. This could be a great one because the Harbaugh family, Jim Harbaugh coaches the 49ers while John Harbaugh coaches the Ravens. Meanwhile Ray Rive will probably be the biggest football star on the field. The Ravens quarterback is Joe Flacco, and he’s not exactly star material. The same can be said for the 49ers QB Alex Smith. Flacco will be supported not only by Ray Rice, and also be team mates Ricky Williams, Anquan Boldin, Lee Evans and Torrey Smith. Alex Smith will be handling off and throwing to Michael Turner, Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree, Kendall Hunter and David Akers. Baltimore also has some star power on defense with the likes on Ed Reed and Ray Lewis.

The least likely Super Bowl matchup that you can bet on is the New York Giants vs. the Baltimore Ravens. Neither of these teams are favored to win this weekend, and most people will be betting on one of both of them losing. The odds on the Giants/San Fran game actually opened as even, and so many gamblers bet on the 49ers right away that the Las Vegas sports books has to adjust the spread to the 49ers minus 2.5. That said, we wouldn’t mind seeing this match up. This would be an interesting rematch from the 2001 Super Bowl were the Ravens beat the Giants and easily covered the Spread. Interestingly that was one of the first Supers Bowl that you could bet online. Now you can bet almost anything online especially the Super Bowl.

We’ll be back this week with a full list of all the possible props bet on this weekend’s NFL games. We’ll also be back early next week with a step by step guide on how to bet the Super Bowl, including what sports books to use, how to read the odds and how to place your bets. Thanks for reading. See you soon!

Only 4 teams and 20 days left, Bet on the Super Bowl today

A lot of people come to our website to learn how to bet on the Super Bowl, and we are proud to be that source of information for most of the internet. Over the next couple of weeks we will be evaluating a large number of online sports books and recommending which ones we believe will be the best to use to bet on the NFL Super Bowl. We will look not just at reputation and past history of Super Bowl odds and bets available (although this will be a part of it), we will also be looking at the odds, the payout methods and Super Bowl prop bets each internet sports book is offering for the 2012 game.

Currently our #1 Online Sports Book is Bovada (see the link on the right side of the webpage). If you want to bet on the Super Bowl today, you can’t go wrong with them. This book has been one of our top 5 sports books to bet the Super Bowl with since 2006 and has been the number 1 sportsbook for the Super Bowl for the last two years.

After the Giants win tonight there are only 4 teams that you can bet to win the Super Bowl. Congrats to all this weekend’s winners.

The fun started yesterday when the San Francisco 49ers beat the Saints in San Fran. The 49ers won the game and covered the spread when Alex Smith completed a 14 yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis with 9 only seconds left! This was Davis’s second touchdown catch of the game. Smith also ran for a touchdown and threw another TD pass to Michael Crabtree. Everyone’s favorite fantasy football kicker David Akers, who kicked 44 field goals during the regular NFL season, also kicked 3 field goals in the game. The 49ers star running back Michael Turner didn’t score but ended up with 89 rushing yards and 38 receiving yards in the game.

The 49ers have a lot of star power. I’m sure a lot of people will be betting on them to win the Super Bowl, and if they make it to the Big Game, there should be some great prop bets offered on their players.

The second winner yesterday was the New England Patriots who simply destroyed the Broncos. The spread on this game was 2 touchdowns, and that obviously wasn’t enough. People love to bet on the Patriots and Tom Brady to win the Super Bowl. Brady is already a two time Super Bowl MPV, and this team Patriots team is stacked with talent.

Tom Brady set am NFL playoff record yesterday by throwing for 6 touchdowns in a single game. The first one was to Wes Welker less than 2 minutes after the game started. He followed that with three touchdown passes to Rob Gronkowski, one to Deion Branch, and another to Aaron Hernandez. Brady was on fire! The Patriots kicker, Stephen Gostkowski, ended the game with 6 extra points and a field goal.

With Green Bay’s lose to the New York Giants, the New England Patriots are the odds on favorites to win the Super Bowl. They have gone to the NFL Super Bowl 4 times since Tom Brady has taken over at quarterback, and they won it 3 of those times. If you want to bet on the Patriots to win the Super Bowl, do it now! The odds will only get worse if (or when) they beat the Baltimore Ravens next week. That said, if you like any team to win the Super Bowl, you should bet on them now. For example, if the Ravens win next week, their odds will change drastically to win the Super Bowl once they are actually playing in the Super Bowl!

The Baltimore Ravens beat the Texans in today’s first game. The Ravens all-star defense was lead by veteran stars Terrell Suggs, Ed Reed and Ray Lewis, and their offense was lead by quarterback Joe Flacco and wide receiver Anquan Boldin. Ray Rice was relatively quit today he had 21 carries for only 60 yards. Joe Flacco threw 2 TD passes today, the first was to Kris Wilson and the second was to Boldin. Lee Evans and Torrey Smith were both quiet on the day. The Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff had 2 extra points and 2 field goals on the day.

The Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl would enable Las Vegas to create some very interesting Super Bowl prop bets. You never know what this team is going to do and who is going to do it. One week it looks like Joe Flacco sucks and Ray Rice is carrying the team, the next week Rice is ineffective and Flacco and Anquan Boldin step up. But if there is one reason to bet on the Ravens to win the Super Bowl, it’s their defense. The saying is “Defense wins Championships (aka Super Bowls)”. If that is still true today, you should expect the Ravens, the 49ers or the Giants to win the Super Bowl as they have some of the best defenses around.

The last winner today was the New York Giants who knocked off last year’s Super Bowl Champions, the Green Bay Packers. Eli Manning threw 3 touchdown passes, two were to Hakeem Nicks and one was to Mario Manningham. Fantasy football star Victor Cruz was relatively quiet today with 5 catches for 74 yards. Giants running back Brandon Jacobs rushed for a touchdown and Ahmad Bradshaw lead the team with 63 rushing yards on the day. New York’s kicker, Lawrence Tynes, was good for 4 extra points and 3 field goals.

As he said at the beginning of the year, Eli Manning is proving that he is an elite NFL quarterback. He has already won the Super Bowl once with the Giants, and they have a good shot at winning the Super Bowl again. The New York Giants also have a great shot at meeting the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl again for a rematch of Super Bowl XLII. Who would you bet on this year?

Congratulations again to the teams who won this weekend. We’d love to see any of them win the Super Bowl. The Baltimore Ravens, the New York Giants, the New England Patriots and the San Francisco 49ers… One of these teams will win the 2012 NFL Super Bowl. Which one are you going to bet on?

Betting, Sports Books and Super Bowl 2012!

This weekend’s lines are set and if Las Vegas (and the online sports books) knows their stuff, the winners of these games will be the New Orleans Saints, the New England Patriot, the Baltimore Ravens and the Green Bay Packers. Of course don’t tell the fans of the other teams that!

And just because those teams are favored, it doesn’t mean that they’ll win. After all Las Vegas just creates the odds, but they don’t place any bets. It’s up the gamblers and NFL fans to bet on who they think will win, and the sports books will adjust the odds accordingly. For example, Drew Brees and the Saints are favored in San Fran this week, but if more people bet on the 49ers than New Orleans, the sports books will adjust the odds and the 49ers could be the favorites.

This rarely happens because Las Vegas knows this and they try to set the odds so that they will get 50% of the bets on one team, and 50% on the other. See the sports books want to make money based on whoever wins or loses, and they do that by trying to get an equal amount of bets on both sides. That way they have no risk.

Let’s use this weekend’s NFL game between the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens as an example. The Ravens are a good team. They won their division and ended their season at 12-4. They’ve also been to the playoffs before and recently, so a lot of people know the players on their team such as quarterback Joe Flacco, running backs Ray Rice and Ricky Williams, and wide receivers Anquan Boldin and Lee Evans. These are all big name players. Now let’s look at the Texans…

Houston finished the year at 10-6. This is their first time ever playing in the NFL playoffs. They have a few big NFL players on their team such as running back Arian Foster and wide receiver Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter. They also have a solid defense, but due to injuries during the regular season their going into this game with a rookie quarterback T.J Yates leading the team.

Now after know these basic facts about both teams, the average bettor (as well as the seasoned sports bettor) would pick the Ravens to win this game, and by a fair margin. After all they won more games during the NFL regular season, they have more stars, they are rested and they are playing at home. Las Vegas knows all these facts too, and that is why the spread on this game is set at 7.5 points with Baltimore as the favorite.

So, to bet with the spread, if you where to bet on the Ravens to win, you would need to give 7.5 point and bet $110 to win $100. The extra ten dollars is called the vig and this is how the sports books make their money. If you wanted to bet on the Texans, you would get an extra 7.5 point and you would still have to bet $110 to win $100. Again the sports books (and Vegas) are getting an extra $10.

This is the way that sportsbooks make money no matter who wins. Let’s say Ricky bet on the Ravens and William bet on the Texans to win. Each guy bet $110 to win $100, and the Ravens won and cover the spread. Ricky would win his bet and get back $210, the $110 he bet and the $100 he won. William would lose the $110 he bet. The sports book would make $10 by taking the $110 dollars from each player (adds up to $220) and only paying Ricky $210. The extra $10 is the sports books profit.

No because this is the way that it works, the sports books really try to set the spread so that they get an equal amount of bets on each side. This is especially important for the NFL Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is the most heavily bet game of the year. This is the game that a sports book can make the most money on all year. This is a great weekend for Las Vegas. That said, this is also the game that sports books can lose a lot of money on if they spread is not right and a lot more bets come in on one team than the other.

Let’s say the Packers and the San Francisco 49ers meet in the Super Bowl, and Las Vegas sets the line at the Patriot minis 3 (meaning that San Francisco is favored). But the betting public really like Green Bay, and bets more money on them than the 49ers. Now the sports books have a position where they need the 49ers to win to make money because the line was set incorrectly. Let’s say that the Packers then go on to win the Super Bowl. In a scenario like that Las Vegas could actually lose money on the Super Bowl. This is very real. It’s happened before and it can happen again.

The last time that I remember hearing that Las Vegas lost money on the Super Bowl was the 2008 Super Bowl when the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots. In that Super Bowl the Patriots were favored by 12 points which is a huge spread. Because the spread was so big, All the Giants fans bet on the Giants to win on the money line straight up (at about 3-1 odds), while the New England fans bet on the Patriots to win with the spread. New York ended up winning the game out right, the Giants bettor won his Super Bowl bet and Las Vegas had to pay the Giants money line bets which cost a lot more at 3-1 than the Patriots spread bets.

See Vegas didn’t get equal action in this Super Bowl. The Giants money line paid about $300 for a $100 bet, while the Patriots money line paid $100 for a $110. The sports books ended up taking in a lot of money on the New England bettors, but they paid out even more to the people who bet on the Giants. This was a bad Super Bowl for the sports books and a great Super Bowl for sports bettor! We always hope that it will end up this way!

Well that’s it for now, as always thanks for stopping by and learning how to bet the Super Bowl. We’ll have more news and updated later in the week and every other day until the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis! Take Care and Good Luck!

27 more days to bet on the Super Bowl!

Only 27 more day until the Super Bowl!

There were some great games this weekend. It was crazy watching them all play out. In the first three games the favorites easily covered. So if you bet on the New Orleans Saints, the Houston Texans and/ or the New York Giants, you easily won your bet. I remember thinking that after the first 3 favorites won and easily covered the spread that the dog (Denver) had to cover the fourth the game. I rushed to bet on the Broncos with the points. (For a few minutes I thought about betting them to win straight up, but didn’t). It’s true anything can happen in the NFL, but I can’t remember the last playoff weekend where all four favorites covered the spread. It wasn’t this weekend!

The Denver Broncos not only covered, they beat the Steelers outright in overtime. Tim Tebow looked good, but he’ll have a tougher job winning this week in New England. The Patriots are a very good team at home, and Tom Brady will put up a lot of point. The last week the Broncos and Tebow had the luxury of playing at home against an injured quarterback and defense without their leading tackler. Also the Steelers were a wildcard team who didn’t win their division. The New England Patriots not only won their division, but they have the best record in the AFC. This will be a very tough match up for the Broncos, and you can see this in this weekend’s lines. Right now if you wanted to be the Patriots to win, they are current favored by 15 points to 13.5 points depending on the sportsbook that you bet with. These are some crazy odds, especially for the playoffs.

It basically means that almost no one thinks the Broncos will win this game. Of course if you do, you can bet on the Broncos to win straight up and at great odds. Right now if you bet on the Broncos to win this weekend, the odds are +575 to +600 depending on the sports book. So if you bet $100 on them to win, and they won, you could win $600. Pretty nice odds!

All the other games this weekend are considered to be much closer. The New Orleans Saints are on the road, but they are favored to beat the San Francisco 49ers by 3.5 points. The Houston Texans are playing the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore, and the Ravens are favored in that game. If you want to bet it, the spread is between 7.5 and 9 depending on the sports book you use. In the last game of the weekend, the Green Bay Packers are 8.5 to 9 points favored over the New York Giants.

This is the first weekend that the eventual 2012 NFL Super Bowl will definitely be playing in the playoffs. Last weekend the Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers all had byes. Well the bye week is over and now all the teams will be playing. That said, below we had list the update odds for each team to win the Super Bowl. If you want to bet on the NFL Super Bowl today, these are the odds available at a major online sports book. These odds are pretty standard and they should be close to if not exactly the same odds that you will find at other online sports books or at the sports books in Las Vegas.

Odds to win the 2012 Super Bowl XLVI
Green Bay Packers 19/10
New England Patriots 11/4
New Orleans Saints 7/2
Baltimore Ravens 7/1
New York Giants 14/1
San Francisco 49ers 14/1
Houston Texans 28/1
Denver Broncos 40/1
The team that I think will most likely upset this week is the San Francisco 49ers. They are playing at home. It’s true that they will be facing Drew Brees and the awesome Saints offense, but the 49ers have a pretty solid defense. They are also underdogs playing at home which most sports bettors know is a bet that is worth taking. It used to be a golden rule in sports betting, to bet on the home-dog. I don’t think that it’s as strong a play today because so many gamblers have heard about it, but it could still be a good play in the NFL playoffs. So much money in going to be bet this week, that a little rule like this will easily be overlooked by the masses. Now I’m not guaranteeing that San Francisco will cover, and I haven’t bet on the game (yet), but this is something that I will definitely consider when placing my bets this weekend.

I don’t have much of an opinion on this weekend’s other game right now. Honestly, I can see reasons to bet on any of these teams to win the Super Bowl, and if you wanted to pick and bet the Super Bowl winner, now is the time to do it. After next weekend, when there will only be 4 teams left in the hurt that Super Bowl odds will drop significantly. Let’s say you want to bet on the Green Bay Packers because you like Aaron Rodgers and you think they can win the Super Bowl two years in a row. Right now the odds on the Packers winning the whole thing are 19/10. So you will need to be $190 to win $100. Once Green Bay wins next weekend (assuming that they do), the odds on this team could change to 25/10 meaning that you will need to bet $250 in order to win $100. It really depends on the teams left in the playoffs and who the sports bettors think will win the Super Bowl.

You can also bet on the 2012 Super Bowl match up. This bet lets you pick the two teams that you think will meet and play in Super Bowl 46. We have the odds for this listed below. You can see how the cooridinate with the normal Super Bowl odds above. The favorites above are the Packers and the Patriots. Below the most heavily bet match up is Green Bay Packers vs. New England Patriots while the match up with the longest odds is the NY Giants vs Denver.

Only 32 days until the 2012 Super Bowl!

What a good ending to the NFL’s regular season, and the NFL playoffs are starting this weekend! There were some great games last weekend with some exciting endings to the NFL regular season.

The New York Giants won and they are in the playoffs with a shot at the Super Bowl! Think they can win it all? You can bet on them to win the Super Bowl today at 18 to 1 odds. So if you bet $100 on the Giants to win the Super Bowl, and they won, you would win $1,800. Not bad!

Of course the Green Bay Packers are the favorites to win the Super Bowl. If you wanted to bet on them, the odds are 9 to 5. That means that if you bet $100 on them to win the Super Bowl, and they did you would win $180. That’s ten times less than you would win if you bet on the Giant to win it all. Still they the Packers are a great team, so that very well could be the best bet on the board.

The other top bet teams to win the Super Bowl are the New England Patriots, the New Orleans Saints, the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the San Francisco 49ers. The Patriots are the favorites out of the AFC. It makes sense because they have the best record in their conference.

The Steelers are also an interesting bet. Right now you can bet them at 11 to 1 to win the Super Bowl. They are one of the top six teams that people have bet on, and they are a wildcard team. That means that they have to win 3 playoff games on the road in order to get to the NFL Super Bowl. That will be tough. Pittsburgh is a good team, and this point, I wouldn’t risk my money and bet the Super Bowl with them. I would need to see them win one or two playoff games first.

All you Tim Tebow fans can current bet on the Denver Broncos to win the Super Bowl at 50 to 1. So if you bet $100 and they win the big game, you’ll win $5,000! That’s a great day. If there are any other teams that you would like to bet on, we have all the team’s Super Bowl odds listed below.

Odds to win the 2012 Super Bowl XLVI
Green Bay Packers 9/5
New England Patriots 4/1
New Orleans Saints 9/2
Baltimore Ravens 15/2
Pittsburgh Steelers 11/1
San Francisco 49ers 11/1

The NFL Super Bowl is 55 days away, but you can bet it now!

It’s hard to believe that it’s week 15 in the NFL already. It’s the middle of most people’s fantasy football playoffs, Christmas is less than 2 weeks away and the Super Bowl is less than two months away! We have updated Super Bowl odds from the Bovada Online Sportsbook below, and this week has some great games to bet on too!

Last night we saw the Atlanta Falcons take care of business. If you bet on them, it was an easy cover. They certainly look ready for the playoffs.

One of the most interesting games this weekend is between the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos. The Broncos had a big test playing the New York Jets a few weeks ago, but this will definitely be their toughest games since Tim Tebow became their starting quarterback.

Surprisingly as of now the Patriots are the second most heavily bet team to win the Super Bowl. It’s surprising because they don’t even have the best record in the AFC. Both the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers have better records and some would say better teams. I guess bettors are favoring New England now because the Ravens and the Steelers play in the same division, so one of those teams will end up being a wildcard. Whoever is the wildcard will need to play and extra playoff game and not have home field advantage to get the Super Bowl.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a tough match up this weekend. They are San Francisco 49ers at home on Monday night. If you wanted to bet on this game, the 49ers are currently giving 2.5 points. If you want to bet on the Ravens, they are about 2.5 points favorites this weekend too. Based just on the betting odds, you would this that Baltimore would win and the Steelers would lose, so Baltimore will probably win the division. The San Francisco 49ers are a great team, so this could easily happen.

You could also bet on the Houston Texans winning this weekend. They are a solid team, and they are giving 7 points at home to a Carolina team that has no shot at going to the playoffs or the Super Bowl this year. Watch out for Cam Newton next year though! The Panthers could rebound in 2012.

Two teams in the NFC East are still fighting for the division. The Dallas Cowboys play Saturday night and the New York Giants play on Sunday. Right now they’re tied for the division lead, so every game counts for each team’s Super Bowl hopes. You can bet on who will win the division, and with these two teams, either one easily can.

If you want to bet on the 2012 Super Bowl, the odds are list below. There are crazy odds on a few teams, and these are the ones that are very close to being eliminated, but haven’t been yet. The only teams that I would bet on are the Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, and maybe the Detroit Lions. At this point in the game, betting on any other team is like throwing your money away. Of course, there are some people who like to take these long shots, so sports books will let you bet on them, but I personally would not.

Odds to win the 2012 Super Bowl XLVI
Green Bay Packers 3/2
New England Patriots 9/2
New Orleans Saints 13/2
Baltimore Ravens 9/1
Pittsburgh Steelers 10/1
San Francisco 49ers 16/1
Houston Texans 18/1
Denver Broncos 25/1
New York Giants 25/1
Atlanta Falcons 30/1
New York Jets 35/1
Dallas Cowboys 40/1
Detroit Lions 65/1
San Diego Chargers 65/1
Philadelphia Eagles 125/1
Chicago Bears 150/1
Oakland Raiders 150/1
Tennessee Titans 200/1
Cincinnati Bengals 250/1
Seattle Seahawks 300/1
Arizona Cardinals 400/1
Kansas City Chiefs 500/1

Those are all the odds. Thanks for stopping by and reading how to bet on the NFL Super Bowl. We haven’t been updating much so far this season, but we will be updating more from here on out.

NFL Football Props for week 9 – Bet the Super Bowl

Below are some interesting prop bets for the 9th week of the NFL Football season. If you like prop bets (and you know that we do), you might enjoy betting on a few of these. You can find them all at the BoDog online sports book, and you might be able to find the same or similar ones at several sports books on the Las Vegas strip.

There are a lot of prop bets offered on Carson Palmer this week. The Raiders are coming off a bye, and this is will be Palmer’s first NFL start this year. The Raiders signed WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh this Tuesday to try to help with Palmer’s transition to Oakland. The two played together in Cincinnati for six years. This week they’ll face the Denver Broncos who have struggled containing opposing quarterbacks this year. This is the week we’ll see what Palmer can do. I’m expecting him to pass for over 220 yards and 1 interception.

Some interesting NFL week 9 Prop Bets:

Will the 49ers score a Rushing TD and not allow a Rushing TD Week 9?
Yes 5/2
No ¼

Will the New England Patriots Score 30 or more Points and Tom Brady throw for 300 or more Passing Yards Week 9?
Yes +200
No -300

What will Chris Johnson’s Yards Per Carry be in the 2011 Regular Season?
Over/Under 3.7

Tim Tebow – Total Turnovers Week 9
Over 1½ (EVEN)
Under 1½ (-130)

Carson Palmer – Completion % Week 9
Over/Under 58%

Carson Palmer – Total TD Passes Week 9
Over 1½ (+160)
Under 1½ (-200)

Carson Palmer – Total Interceptions Week 9
Over ½ (-200)
Under ½ (+160)

Carson Palmer – Total Passing yards Week 9
Over/Under 220½

There are some great games this weekend…

The New York Giants face the New England Patriots in a rematch of Super Bowl XLII. That was a great game. The Patriots were 17-0 that year coming into the Super Bowl and were big favorite over New York. Meanwhile, the Giants have a lot of fans, and instead of betting New York with the spread, they bet the Giants to win on the money line with great odds. Of course, the Giants ended up win that game and it was the first time in years that Las Vegas lost money on the Super Bowl due to all the bets on the Giants. That only happens once every 10 years, if that!

Other good match ups this weekend include the New York Jets at the Buffalo Bills, the San Francisco 49ers at the Washington Redskins, last year’s Super Bowl winners the Green Bay Packers at the San Diego Chargers, the Baltimore Ravens at the Pittsburgh Steelers and finally the Chicago Bears at the Philadelphia Eagles. Wow those are some great match ups. Through in the LSU and Alabama College Football game and this is a great weekend for football fans!

Enjoy the game this week. And as always, thanks for reading about how to bet the NFL Super Bowl. We’ll be here all season long, into the playoffs, of course for the Super Bowl and even in the off season, so be sure to stop by and read us often! Thanks! Have a great weekend of bets!

NFL Week 8 and updated Super Bowl Betting Odds

Congrats to the St Louis Cardinals for winning the World Series! It was a great 7 games, and probably one of the best World Series ever played. The Cards were not favored, but they managed to put a lot of the Vegas bettors in check by playing hard and beating the Rangers.

It’s now the eighth week of the NFL season, and there are some great match ups. The Buffalo Bills are playing the Washington Redskins in Toronto, and they just agreed to sign their quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to a new 6 year $56 million dollar contract. That guy will now make more money in the next 6 years that I will make in over 20 lifetimes… Lucky bastard.

Another good match up this week is Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the New England Patriots. Both these teams are at the top of their divisions, and I wouldn’t be surprised if these two meet again the NFL playoffs on the way to the Super Bowl. This weekend the Patriots are favored even thought they’re playing in Pittsburgh. I can see either of these teams winning the Super Bowl any year. They have both been NFL power houses for the last 10 years, and that is one of the reasons why a lot of people bet them to win the Super Bowl every year before the season even starts.

The Sunday night game is an interesting match up in the NFL East. Dallas Cowboys travel to the Philadelphia Eagles. I’ve heard many people say that the Cowboys could be undefeated this year. In other words, “the only ones who can beat the Cowboys are the Cowboys,” meaning that Dallas is a great team with a lot of talent, but somehow they find ways to lose games. Just look at the Patriots game the other weeks. The Eagles were one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl when the season opened. They also have a lot of talent on their team, but so far they haven’t been able to make it work. We’ll see how wins this week. If I had to bet a side, I would bet on the Cowboys.

Below are the odds to win the Super Bowl XLVI at various points this year. We have listed the final pre-season odds that were available before the first regular NFL game was played. We also have last week’s Super Bowl odds and this week’s odds, so you can see how they changed based on last weekend’s games.

If you are interested in betting on the team to win the Super Bowl, I suggest never waiting for certain odds. If you really like a team to win it all, they will probably win a lot of games during the regular season, and their odds will just get smaller and smaller. so if you want to bet on a team, bet it early.

Madonna to Perform at Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show

It’s been reported that Madonna will provide the halftime entertainment at Super Bowl XLVI. This will be Madonna’s first Super Bowl performance. She was slated to perform in both 1998 and 2000, but never did as negotiations fell through both time. The 2012 Super Bowl will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on February 5th. I bet this one happens.

Past Super Bowl Halftime Shows include The Black Eyed Peas, Usher and Slash last year, The Who in 2010 and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in 2009. The last female pop star to play the Super Bowl was Janet Jackson who preformed with P. Diddy, Nelly, Kid Rock, and Justin Timberlake in the 2004 Super Bowl. This was the year of the infamous “wardrobe malfunction” where Janet’s nipple flashed during the show on national television.

Well considering how old Madonna is now, we are certainly hoping that she doesn’t have any wardrobe malfunctions. Odds are she won’t. Jackson’s wasn’t very impressive, and Madonna’s would just be down right gross. Here’s to a nipple free Super Bowl!

We’ll be back with update Super Bowl bets, odds and news soon. Thanks for reading!

A Few NFL Week 4 Recaps – Is Detroit going to the Super Bowl?

Buffalo lost! Detroit won! Now after 4 weeks of play, there is only one undefeated team in the NFL, and it’s the Detroit Lions!

Is this team really supposes to be good? Aren’t they the same team that was the laughing stock of the NFL a few years ago? Well it was the lonely Lions that sucked back in the last decade, but now they look like they could be the best team in the NFL.

I just checked and you can still bet on them to win the Super Bowl at 14/1. I’m stocked the odds haven’t dropped yet, but they will. With this win today, I expect more money to start coming in on them soon.

It’s funny how much things change after 4 weeks of games. I know a great bettor who never bets on an NFL game before week 5. He always says that the first 4 weeks are total crap shoots. You need to see what teams can do before you can really handicap properly. That is certainly true for more than a few teams this year.

A month ago everyone was talking about how good a year the Philadelphia Eagles were going to have. They signed a lot of big names this off season, but it looks like they didn’t sign the guys that matter to Michael Vick – offensive linemen. And now the Eagles are 1-3. Ha ha. Fuck the Eagles!

I hate Michael Vick. I don’t think he should have been allowed right back into the NFL after his stint in jail. Sure, he was forced to take a 2 year break from the game, but that’s because he was in prison. Once he was released he was welcomed right back to the NFL with no punishments, and I’m not sure why. Other players have done much less and gotten multiple game suspensions. I guess the NFL decided that he was punished enough and they didn’t want to force him to take anymore time away from the game. IMAO that’s bullshit. If you suspend players for poor conduct, you should have suspended Vick for at least 8 games after he was able to return to the NFL.
\
As it turns out, it doesn’t matter much. Vick has been back in the NFL for years now, and he has taken over the starting quarterback position for the Eagles. He has done a good job there, but a lot of people hate him. Therefore they hate the Eagles. There is probably no other team in the NFL that is as hated as the Eagles… Okay, maybe the Dallas Cowboys or Pittsburgh Steelers, but people only dislike those teams because they are so popular. People hate Philly because of Vick.

I was also surprised to see the Minnesota Viking fall to the Chief. The Vikings are now 0-4 and they’ll soon have the longest odds to win the 2012 Super Bowl. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would actual bet on them to win the Super Bowl. After an 0-4 start, it obvious that this team sucks and isn’t going anywhere this year.

That’s all for now. The Baltimore Ravens are currently playing the New York Jets, and I’m watching this game. Time to go and really enjoy it. Thanks for reading!
