Only a couple of weeks until the Super Bowl!

Okay, so who are you betting this week in the NFL playoffs?

Arizona Cardinals (11-6) at New Orleans Saints (13-3). The odds at most sportsbooks are the Saints -7. Obviously the Saints would be favored here. The public loves them, they’re at home, and they’re really F-ing good. The Cardinals also got lucky last week, winning in overtime. That game could have gone either way. Also teams that lose the Super Bowl the year before really perform well the next year. Arizona seems to be bucking that trend, but I would not expect to see them in Miami Florida this year, home of Super Bowl XVIV 2010.

Baltimore Ravens at Indianapolis Colts. Joe Flacco and the Ravens travel to Indianapolis to take on Payton Manning (Super Bowl MVP) and the Colts (who won the Super Bowl the last time it was in Miami). Right now, the line can vary between sports books. If you like the Colts, you can bet them -6 at a few places. If you like Balimore, you can get them at +7 a few place. I think that this is a better match up than the line shows. Of course, I’m not sure that I can bet agianst the Colts, but if I do make a bet on this game, it’ll probably be on the Baltimore Ravens plus 7. I might also bet the total, and I’m leaning toward the over. Ray Rice is sick and Joseph Iddai can still run, but I expect these teams to throw more than usual today.

On to Sunday’s games –
Dallas Cowboys at Minnesota Vikings. I actually really like Tony Romo and crew against old man Brett Farve and Adrian Petterson this weekend. The Cowboys are current getting 3 points (+3), and they looked great last weekend. I remember a lot of people were picking them to win the Super Bowl this preseason, and they are now on their way. Miles Austin and Roy Williams make a good pair of wide outs, and Romo is passing well. Both teams have tough defesnes, but I see Dallas edging out the Vikings here. Of course Minnesota has had an extra week to prepare, so that should also weigh in on your thought process before placing a bet. Anyway, my money will be on Dallas, and I might also bet on the over (because betting the over is more fun).

The second game on Sunday…
New York Jets at San Diego Chargers. Rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez is going up against Philip Rivers and rest on the Charges. This is an interesting game in that both teams have great running games (and based on that fact alone, I’m considering betting on the under). The Jets have a good pair of running backs in Thomas Jones and Shonn Greene. Rex Ryan’s team also has the best shut down corner in the league with Darrelle Revis. (I don’t see Philip Rivers throwing too much.) The Charges also have a great pair of running backs in LaDainian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles. Of course LT should get most of the carries. The odds at most sportsbooks is the Charges -7 over the Jets. The spread actually opened at 9, and all the sharp betters (the guys with a lot of miney whobet early in the week) jumoed all over the Jets. Las Vegas actually had to move the line from 9 to 8.5 to 8 to 7.5 to 7 before they finally started getting even action. Based on that, it seems like the Jets might make a good bet. I also mentioned that I was thinking of betting the under, but a friend just called me and told me one of the best handicappers in the business is pciking the over as the play, so I wouldn’t just follow me (or him), but think about this game and pick the best total bet for you.

On a side note, I would love to see the Jets in the Super Bowl. I think the rookie quarterback and great defense would make a great story. I think people would really turn in to watch the big game, especially if it was against Dallas. New York vs Dallas. That’s who I want to see in the 2010 Super Bowl!

If you want to make a Super Bowl bet now, these are the current odds on teams to win the NFL Super Bowl at Bodog Sportsbook.

Odds to win the 2010 Super Bowl XLIV
Arizona Cardinals 14/1
Baltimore Ravens 12/1
Dallas Cowboys 6/1
Indianapolis Colts 3/1
Minnesota Vikings 6/1
New Orleans Saints 4/1
New York Jets 14/1
San Diego Chargers 10/3

Thanks for stopping by Bet the NFL Super Bowl, and good luck this weekend!

Chicago Bears – Odds to Win the Super Bowl

The odds for the Bears to win the Super Bowl at Sportsbook were released at 40/1. That number had changed during the off-season, but it gives us an idea of what was expected from the Chicago Bears if they were to start this season with the exact same team that they ended last year with. Getting Jay Culter is by far the biggest roster move for the any NFL team this off season and Las Vegas responded by adjusting the odds in the Bears’ favor. The same sports book that opened with Chicago at 40 to 1 odds, recently adjusted them down to 25/1. This move doesn’t make the Bears the best contender for the NFL championship in the super bowl this year, but they are obviously expected to be much better than before with Cutler running the offense. Chicago should be able to improve on those odds even more with their draft if they sign a high-impact wide receiver. That may be a bit hard this year with the loss of a first round pick. They have Devin Hester, but adding another good deep threat could really improve this team and give Culter the weapons that he needs to work with.

If you were wondering how the Culter trade affected the Broncos’ odds to win the Super Bowl, it didn’t make them any better or worse at all which is BS. They were 30/1 odds at the end of Super Bowl 43, and they are listed at 30/1 odds today. Of course, these odds are largely based on the action being bet on all teams to win the Super Bowl. The Bears odds jumped so fast, because people were betting on them with the addition of Culter. The Broncos odds didn’t move because no one was betting them. Instead fewer people will be on them in the future and their Super Bowl odds will slowly adjust over time to be greater than 30/1. Or least they should.

Curing the Super Bowl Hangover

It was a great Super Bowl! What to do now?

Well a lot of the sites that you bet the super bowl at also offer casino and poker games to play. Recently, I’ve been playing a lot of poker at BoDog (which had a ton of prop bets available for the Super Bowl). Anyway, I’ve really been enjoying their 3-6 games, and while I haven’t made a lot of money, I haven’t lost any and I’ve been getting better at playing poker.

A lot of people say that playing poker online is harder than playing in the casino, and I know why.

#1. You often don’t have a lot of first time players online. If someone is playing online, they have probably played the game before where as people in the casino could very well be novices.

#2. You see a lot more hands per hour online. You probably play at least twice as many hands per hour online than you do in the live casino. This means that you get more opportunities to win or lose and you get better and more experience at poker faster by playing online.

#3. You can play at multiple tables online. Yes, online you can play at 4 or more different tables at once, and this really increases the number of hands you see when you play. Of course, you can only play at 1 table at a time in a casino.

So these are some quick notes that I have about playing poker online. It’s not always as fun as betting on football, but it will often serve to pass the time between NFL seasons.

I think I mentioned that you can play casino games online too. These games include all of your favorites like blackjack, carps, roulette, and hundreds of different kinds of slot machines.

When you choose an online casino to play in, make sure that you are picking one you can trust. If you take a look at our Super Bowl Sportsbook rankings, all these places have great sportsbooks and you can trust the ones with poker rooms and casinos.

Good Luck. Thanks for stopping by!

Sports Book Ratings for the 2009 Super Bowl

Well it’s that time again. Yes Super Bowl XLIII is right around the corner and after talking to many, many sports books and looking at their betting options, odds and services offer for this Super Bowl, we have decided on a this year’s top rate sports book for the Super Bowl. Readers of this site should be familiar with this sports book as it was our top rated book for last year’s Super Bowl, and we are very confident giving it the crown this year as well.

#1 Rated Sports Book for Super Bowl Betting 2009 is BODOG

After talking with BoDog, we are confident that this sports book will again offer the most betting option available for this year’s Super Bowl. This Sports Book (often called America’s Sports Book) offers the largest variety of prop bets on the biggest game every year. With individual prop bets on the most players, exotic bets on the half time show, commercials and announcers, and live in game betting (where you can bet on the game after every play), there is no other site you need for all your Super Bowl action. If you are a new customer, you will also receive a 10% bonus on all funds you deposit with them.

For new readers, BoDog is considered one of the a best sports books in the industry by every rating service.

#2 Rated Sports Book for Super Bowl Betting 2009 is ODDSMAKER

While this sports book does not offer as many betting options as BoDog, they still offer more than the average site. They are safe and secure, located in the Netherlands Antilles, and offer Player’s Club bonus and promotions to all their players. While their customer service is great for all players, like the Las Vegas casinos, this sports books offer special services and promotions to their high rollers. If you’re a big bettor (over $10,000 in action per month), I would highly recommend trying OddsMaker.

Bet the NFL Super Bowl Site, the Arizona Cardinals vs the Pittsburgh Steelers

Welcome to the official Bet the NFL Super Bowl – Arizona Cardinals vs Pittsburgh Steelers blog! Yes, we change the name when we know which two teams will be playing in the Super Bowl.

So we trying to provide you with everything that you need to know for betting the Super Bowl. Later this week we’ll be coming out with our online sportsbook ranking, lists of prop bets offered at various online and Las Vegas Sports Book, and of course any and all news leading up to Super Bowl 43 2009 in Tampa, Florida.

The current odds on this game is the Pittsburgh Steelers -7 or the Arizona Cardinals +7. The over/under is currently set at  47 points.

The player props are not up yet, but they should be soon. Some of the normal prop bets that will be offer will things like who wins the coin toss and which team scores first. Considering that the Steelers are favored, I think that they will be favored to score first.

We will also discuss in game betting, like that that is offered at the Bodog online sports book and casino. This type of betting enables you to place a bet after every play. This was become very popular in recent years, especially with the rise of the internet. Las Vegas casinos can’t offer you this type of wager as plays happen to quickly. But if you are at home or even at a party with a cell phone or PDA, you can watch the game and after every play if you wanted to, you could place a bet on the outcome of the Super Bowl with adjusted odds or even on the money line. It’s really a get option and it’s only available online.

Back to the big game. This year’s Super Bowl is being held at Raymond James Stadium, in beautiful Tampa, Florida. It’s the second time that this stadium has hosted the Super Bowl, so it must be a great venue. I don’t think the location will benefit one team more than the other. Arizona is used to playing in nicer weather, so this location doesn’t hurt them. Cold weather would benefit the Steelers (after all Kurt Warner showed this year that he can’t play in the snow), but warm weather won’t hurt the Steelers.

I think the Steelers might have a bigger fan base at the game because they are the more popular team. The Steelers fan base is the second largest in the league, just after the Cowboys. I don’t really think that the Cardinals have much of a fan base. Of course, most people who go to the Super Bowl get corporate tickets, so they might not be really tied to either team, unless they bet on the Super Bowl.

One of the most popular was to bet the Super Bowl, is to bet the over. This is a fun bet, because you don’t have to worry about either team covering and if it’s a blow out it doesn’t matter. The over bet is one of the most fun because all you have to do is root for the offense not matter who has the ball. The opposite is probably true for the under. With the under, you can rooting for the defense and against any big plays on offense or special teams. Who really wants to do that?

So as I mentioned before, we will help to teach you how to bet on the Super Bowl, but we won’t tell you how we are betting on the Super Bowl. We try not to tell people how to bet, or what team to bet on in the Super Bowl, because everyone has different opinions. We don’t want to cloud anyone judgement which they way they want their action to go.

Anyway, please continue to come to our site and check it out until the Super Bowl.

We are Bet the NFL Super Bowl, the best Super Bowl betting guide online. Thanks!

Gary Russell (PIT) 5/1
Troy Polamalu (PIT) 25/2
Field (Any Other Player) 9/4
Team does not score a TD in the game 15/2  

And that is a pretty full list of all of the bets offered for today’s NFL football games.

So this is a little of topic, but I finally realized yesterday why this site was ranking so bad in google and even yahoo for “Bet the NFL Super Bowl”, “Super Bowl Bet”, and other phrase like those. I was looking at my homepage in a yahoo cache view, and I noticed that when cached, this site had hundreds of links at the bottom of the homepage pointed to spam drug and porn sites! I was pissed! And these links were completely invisable when looking at this page normally. I’m not sure when this happened, but at some point over the last year (propably at least 6 months ago), so hacked my site and created all this invisible links to their spam natwork. I think I was able to fix the problem yesterday, but this kills my ranking for the 2009 Super Bowl because I’m sure this site is penalized for spamming in google and yahoo, and it’s ranking won’t come back in 2 weeks. I think I’ll still get some hits from yahoo and MSN, but I’d be surprised if I get anything from google, and of course it was google that drove 90% of my Super Bowl traffic last year. God this sucks.

Anyway, I hope you have a great time watching the NFL today. Good Luck on all your bets, and I hope we’ll see you back soon for more Super Bowl odds and news.

The Super Bowl Prop Bet

I think my favorite Super Bowl prop bet is who will be the Super Bowl MVP. It seems like every year about 40 guys are listed for this prop bet, and only an about a dozen have a real shot at it. Of course the quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs are the favorites, and they should be. For the last 2 years a quarterback has won the Super Bowl MVP. The year that Hines Ward won it, it almost seemed like he won it by default because Ben Roethlisberger didn’t play well enough to win it!

There are a lot of other props that you can bet for the Super Bowl. Every year BoDog (an online sports book) seems to come out with about 200 different props that you can bet. Whether Kurt Warner will throw over/under 254 yards, how many interceptions he will throw, how many touchdowns he will throw, his number of completions, his number of rushing yards, the number of times he is sacked etc. The list goes on and on. And this isn’t just for the quarterbacks, it could be guys like Brian Westbrook too: Westbrook will have over/under X rushing yards, over/under X amount of receptions, X number of reception yards, X number of touchdowns, etc.

Some of the most amusing prop bets will be on the Super Bowl commercials. I haven’t heard of any of them yet for this year, but there is at least 1 every year, so watch out for it!

All the standard NFL prop bets will be available too. A standard prop bet would be: Which team scores first? Which team scores last? Is the first score a touchdown or a field goal? Who win the coin toss? Will there be a kick off return for a touchdown? How many interceptions will there be? And on and on and on.

See? There really are a ton of things that you can bet on this Super Bowl. And it’s like this every year. Probably because it is the most bet (and watched) game in the world.

I have to say that I love all the prop bets that are offered. On one game, you can bet at least 200 different things and have almost something new going on every single play.

BoDog and a few other online sports books are also offering live Super Bowl betting. This means that you can bet Super Bowl online with an adjusted spread and total after every single play. Yes, live betting is great has to be offered for the biggest year of the year. If you sports book doesn’t offer live betting, give one that does a try. You might find that you love it.

Anyway, we have discussed this game a lot here, as we should. If there is anything that you think we missed or that we should touch on, please feel free to contact us to let us know. Thanks for continuing to read this site. As you might have figured, this is our busiest time of year with the big game less than a month away. We can hardly wait!

The Road to the Super Bowl – Only Four Playoff Teams Left

What a great playoff weekend, and now there are only 4 teams that could win the 2009 Super Bowl: Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Personally I would like to see the Cardinals in the Super Bowl. I’ve been a fan of Kurt Warner for years, and I’d be great to see him win another ring. I’m also a fan of Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. It seems like I always have at least one of these 2 guys on a fantasy team or two.

I was surprised how much the Cards ran the ball this weekend. Zona running backs Tim Hightower and Edgerrin James combined for 37 rushes. Of course a lot of these were after Arizona had a good lead, but that number is still huge for the Cardinals.

The Eagles would be interesting too. Philadelphia hadn’t won a championship in years in any sport until the Phillies won the World Series this year, and now the Eagles have a 4-1 chance of winning the Super Bowl. Philadelphia Eagles stars Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook are always fun to watch along with DeSean Jackson and Kevin Curtis. L J Smith is their starting tight end and while he’s getting up in age, he can still have a great game here and there.

The Baltimore Ravens would be fun to watch to. They rookie quarterback Joe Flacco looked great this weekend, and Matt Stover (the kicker) had a good game too. Their offense really did look good. They didn’t turn the ball over, and veteran receive Derek Mason had 78 yards and a TD. Willis McGahee and Le’Ron McClain split carries with both of them getting 12. Of course, defense is the strength of this team, and they performed great.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are America’s second most followed team after the Cowboys. They also won the Super Bowl just a few years ago, so I’d rather give someone else the chance at the title. Anyway, Big Ben Roethlisberger is a great QB. It also looks like Fast Willie Parker is fully heathly from his problems earlier in the year. Hines Ward is of course a stud, and he was the Super Bowl MVP the last time that the Steelers won it. Heath Miller has been their awesome tight end for years, and Santonio Holmes has developed into a great wide out. Hopefully he’ll stay out of the trouble this offseason.

Whichever two of these teams go to the Super Bowl, it should be a great game. I would love to watch any of the above play in the big game. Of course, I will be betting on this game. After all you can’t write a blog titled “Bet the NFL Super Bowl”, tell people how to bet on the super bowl, and not bet on the Super Bowl yourself. Trust me, I’ll have some good action on this game.

A quick rundown of the NFL playoff teams left…

Time to take a quick run through of the NFL teams left in the playoffs. Two of these teams will be playing in the 2009 Super Bowl in Tampa Bay, Florida.

New York Giants – The Giants play out of the Meadowlands in New Jersey, and they won the Super Bowl last year. They are headed by Eli Manning at quarterback and they’re strength is at running back with Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward and even Ahmad Bradshaw. They’re best receivers are Domenik Hixon and Amani Toomer.

Pittsburgh Steelers – Ben Roethlisberger is their quarterback with his main targets being Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes and Heath Miller at tight end. Their starting running back is Fast Willie Parker.

Carolina Panthers – Jack Delhomme is under center with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart running out of the back field. Steve Smith is their star wide receiver and Muhsin Muhammad is their #2.

Tennessee Titans – the Titans defense is the strength of their team. On offense, Kerry Collins is at QB, their main running backs are LenDale White and Chris Johnson, and their starting wide receivers are Justin Gage and Justin McCareins.

Baltimore Ravens – The Ravens are headed by rookie quarterback Joe Flacco. Their 3 headed running back beast consists or Willis McGahee, Le’Ron McClain, and rookie Ray Rice out of Rutgers University. Their starting WRs are Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton.

Philadelphia Eagles – The Eagles have a few stars starting with their quarterback Donovan McNabb. Their fantasy football stud Brian Westbrook is their main running back, and their starting receivers are DeSean Jackson and Kevin Curtis, both who seem to put up a lot of yards.

San Diego Chargers – Philip Rivers is under center with two great running back behind him, LaDainian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles. His TE is Antonio Gates and Chris Chambers and Vincent Jackson are the starting wide receivers.

Arizona Cardinals – Arizona was a fantasy football dream this year with one of the best quarterbacks and two great wide receivers in Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. Their running struggled at times with Tim Hightower and Edgerrin James getting the majority of the work. Their 3rd wide out Steve Breaston was also utilized a lot this year.

There will be some interesting prop bets offered on most of if not all these guys this week and every week until the NFL Super Bowl. If you love betting fantasy football, you will probably also love betting on props.

Football Sports Betting – the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl

Betting on the NFL is what makes watching football fun. Betting on the Super Bowl also makes it more fun.

You can make all kinds of bets. You can bet on which team will win the game. This is called the money line bet. If the Super Bowl line is listed as Team A -200, Team B +180, that means that you have to bet $200 on Team A to win $100 if the Team a wins, and that you will win $180 if you bet $100 on Team B and Team B wins.

The spread bet is where lines makers create a spread that sports books use to make football games closer to even odds. So if the New York Giants are favored by 7 over the Arizona Cardinals, the spread would be New York -7 or Arizona +7. In this situation if you bet on the Giants, you are betting that the Giants are betting the Cards by more that 7. So if New York wins by 8 or more, you win. If they win buy six or less or lose, you lose. If New York wins be exactly 7, the bet is a push, you neither win or lose and you get the money of original bet back.

Total Super Bowl bets are great wagering options too. A total bet is one where you add together the final scores of both teams and this comes to a total score for the game. So lets say the total for the Super Bowl is 55. Bettors have the options on the total to bet that the total scores of both teams will be more than or less than 55. If you bet the over, and the final score is 56 or higher, you win, 54 or lower, you lose, 55, you push.

These are the basic types of bets that you can make on all NFL football games, but the Super Bowl enables to to make these basic bets and so many more. Since the Super Bowl is the most bet game in all of sports, sports books offer hundreds of bets that you can make of this game. There are tons of prop bets that you can make on the Big Game. You can bet on which team will win the Super Bowl and my how many points, which team will score first, who will score last, who will be the Super Bowl MVP, who will have the first rushing touchdown, and the list goes on and on…

Currently, all sports books are offering future bets available on the next Super Bowl in Tampa Bay. Current Super Bowl Odds are:

New York Giants +250
Pittsburgh Steelers +400
Carolina Panthers +500
Tennessee Titans +600
Baltimore Ravens +700
Philadelphia Eagles +600
San Diego Chargers +800
Arizona Cardinals +3000
