Bet Super Bowl XLV Props

Super Bowl Betting: Analyzing prop odds
By: Adam Markowitz

How many times will the FOX broadcast crew mention Ol’ No. 4?

Super Bowl XLV props this season range from the ridiculous to the sublime, and here at DonBest we're taking a look at a few of the prototypical props, and a few that are just a tad bit off the board from the norm.

Tim Masthay Longest Punt Over/Under 55.5 Yards

Masthay has really been eating his Wheaties of late, uncorking some big-time punts. He had a 65-yarder against the Chicago Bears in the NFC Championship, the longest boot of his entire career, and he has had at least one punt of 54 yards in five out of six games.

Knowing that this game is played in perfect weather conditions and not in the slop of Soldier Field or Lambeau Field, this is a perfect chance for Masthay to shine. Masthay Longest Punt Over 55.5 Yards -115

Brett Favre Spoken Over/Under 2.5 Times

We know that Joe Buck and Troy Aikman have this man crush on No. 4, but there are so many other ways to refer to him than "Brett Favre." Part of the trick of Super Bowl props is remembering the rules. This rule explicitly states that we must hear "Brett Favre," first and last name together.

Sure, it's a slam dunk to happen once, and it very well could happen twice. It might seem like a certainty, but this is anything but. "Brett Favre Spoken Under 2.5 Times +140

Total Passing Yards By Aaron Rodgers Over/Under 275.5

We know that the Steelers really don't have the greatest pass defense in the world, and we know that trying to run the ball against them is about as successful most of the time as trying to run through a brick wall. But this is an awful lot of passing yards for any man to get in a Super Bowl.

Rodgers proved two weeks ago against the Chicago Bears that when he gets hit, he isn't nearly as effective as he is when he is standing upright. There isn't a team in the league that can get after the passer like Pittsburgh can, and if Rodgers really does take some shots, it's going to be hard to see him getting to this type of a number.

With RB James Starks getting more and more of the carries than Rodgers is used to giving out on a regular basis, we tend to believe that the former Cal Golden Bear will come up short of this figure. Rodgers Under 275.5 Passing Yards +100

Will Green Bay Score in All Four Quarters?

This is something that has happened a grand total of twice all season long against the Steelers defense. The New York Jets pulled off the stunt, and the Miami Dolphins did it. Even the great New England Patriots, who scored 39 points against these Steelers in Pittsburgh, couldn't figure out how to put at least a few points on the board in all four quarters.

Don't expect to see the Packers all of a sudden figure out how to do the unthinkable against this defense either. Packers to Not Score in All Four Quarters -300

Super Bowl XLV player prop picks
By Sean Murphy

The Super Bowl truly is prop heaven, where novice and sharp bettors alike lay down their hard-earned cash on everything from the coin flip to what songs the Black Eyed Peas will perform at halftime.

With so many props to choose from, narrowing it down to only the most lucrative can be a major chore.

Don’t sweat it. Here are five bets for you to consider Sunday.

Most passing yards

Aaron Rodgers is undoubtedly the trendy pick, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t the right one.

I love the way the Packers wide receivers match up against the Steelers secondary. It’s all about speed, with this game being played on a fast track in Dallas. In that regard, I give a major advantage to guys like Greg Jennings and James Jones against the Steelers’ last line of defense.

Rodgers will face plenty of heat against an aggressive Steelers pass rush, but he’s shown the ability to make something out of nothing time and time again.

The same can be said for Ben Roethlisberger, but the difference is his targets will be blanketed by a pair of shutdown corners in Charles Woodson and Tramon Williams. Again, speed is key and Woodson and Williams have the legs to keep up with Wallace, Sanders and Brown.

Take: Rodgers

Most receptions

The matchup I’ll look at is Hines Ward against Donald Driver.

Both players have seen their workload diminish this season, but Driver has actually taken on a larger role in the playoffs.

Hines Ward has made just five catches for 39 yards in the last two games and that should come as no surprise. Ben Roethlisberger has done an excellent job spreading the ball around, with no player recording more than two receptions in the Steelers win over the Jets.

That balance should continue against the Packers and I simply don’t see Ward having any sort of advantage against the Green Bay defense.

Donald Driver was limited to just one catch in the Packers win over the Bears. But prior to that, he hauled in 11 catches in the first two rounds of the playoffs. That was despite battling through a knee injury suffered in the Wildcard Round.

The extra time off is a major plus for the veteran receiver, who just turned 36 Wednesday.

Take: Driver

Most sacks

I have a lot of respect for the Steelers pass rush, but I’ll take a shot with the Packers, as I have even more respect for Aaron Rodgers.

Ben Roethlisberger will be working behind an offensive line that may have all hands on deck, but won’t be 100 percent healthy. Center Maurkice Pouncey arrived in Dallas on crutches, but the word is that he still plans on suiting up Sunday.

Keep in mind, Big Ben has already been sacked eight times in two playoff games and both of those came at the friendly confines of Heinz Field. Roethlisberger is excellent at escaping pressure, but he’s also prone to holding onto the football a little too long.

Aaron Rodgers has only been sacked five times in three playoff games and that’s a major accomplishment considering those three games all came on the road against excellent pass rushes in Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago.

Rodgers’ ability to avoid sacks really attests to the play of the Packers offensive line and the outstanding route running by the wide receivers.

Take: Green Bay

John Kuhn rushing attempts

Go over 2.5 rush attempts for Kuhn Sunday (+120).

The Packers aren’t expected to run the ball often, but I still believe that Kuhn will be a significant part of their offensive gameplan. He’s undoubtedly their most physical runner, a guy they’ll turn to as a change of pace and also in goal-line situations.

James Starks and Brandon Jackson are still one and two on the depth chart, but I’m not sure that either will have much success against Pittsburgh.

You can also find a yardage prop for Kuhn, but I’m not quite as sold on his ability to make any headway against the Steelers run defense. They’ve given up a grand total of just six rushing touchdowns all season.

Shortest rushing touchdown in the game

I’ll go under 1.5 yards (-125).

I always like to consider this prop and I think it sets up particularly well in this year’s matchup.

We’ve seen a one-yard touchdown run in each of the five playoff games involving these two teams this year and I don’t expect that trend to reverse Sunday.

Both teams possess physical runners capable of taking it in from a yard out, even against two bruising defenses. There’s also the scrambling of both quarterbacks to consider and the Steelers wide variety of QB-sneak looks.

Sixth Sense Prop Plays

A couple of items before we get to the props. These will not count on the record because many people won’t be able to play them or the lines will vary dramatically from what is here, etc.

They are meant more as a guide as to what I think may happen and maybe between those and what I say below you can use the information to find other props as well.

I expect the Packers to throw a lot in this game because Pittsburgh doesn’t have the depth in the secondary to cover four and five receiver sets. With that said, Mike McCarthy also says it’s important to get carries out of the rushing game. He isn’t concerned with yards per carry as much as attempts to keep the balance on the rest of the offense.

As much as they will be throwing the ball, it’s hard to tell who will get the receptions so with the exception of one player, I am avoiding receivers on the props.

Pittsburgh, meanwhile, ran the ball 46% of the time this year but when they played better teams that number decreased to 41%. They were able to run the ball against the weaker teams but forced to throw when playing playoff teams. So, as much as they like to run the ball, don’t be surprised if they throw more than their seasonal numbers would indicate.

The Packers allowed 4.6 yards per rush during the regular season but only 3.5 yards per play during the playoffs. And, when they had their defense healthy (with current group of guys), their defense has been very tough against the run as well.

I play these for about 1/3 of a regular side or total play. Be careful and don’t go nuts. If you have any questions, please let me know.

SB PROPS

James Starks plus yards over Rashard Mendenhall

I am seeing +24.5 yards but quite honestly I would play this at +15 or better. Starks hasn’t been great rushing the ball outside the Philadelphia game but GB has been solid defending the run and will look to stop Pittsburgh’s rushing attack.

Jordy Nelson over 3.5 receptions +130

I like Nelson who is a possession type receiver and as long as you can get 3.5 at even or better I like the play.

Over 5.5 sacks at +115 or better

Both teams are strong in sacks this year and both qb’s like to hold the ball trying to create something, which leads to more sacks as well.

Clay Matthews over ½ sack -160

I would play this up to -200. Matthews is a sack machine and the Packers will give him plenty of opportunities to get to the qb.

Desmond Bishop over 7 tackles and assists -130

As long as we get -135 or better I think there is value

James Farrior over 7 tackles and assists +105

I would play this at even or better OR over 6.5 at -155 or better

Troy Polamalu over 4.5 tackles and assists -135

I like this at -150 or better

Rashard Mendenhall under 18.5 rushing attempts +130

I would play this at even or better. I’ve also seen under 20 at -175 or better. Packers will look to stop the run first and if Pittsburgh gets behind they will need to throw more as well.

James Starks over 16.5 rushing attempts +110

I would play this at 17 or lower. Starks has run 23, 25 and 22 times in the playoffs. Yes, the Steelers are tougher to run on but McCarthy likes to get his rushing attempts so there should be plenty of opportunities here. Knowing the only way the opportunities don’t happen is if the Packers fall way behind, that isn’t likely because GB hasn’t trailed by more than seven points this year.

Pittsburgh under 21.5 points -120

GB just doesn’t give up points so under 21.5 is a good play knowing GB has only allowed more than 20 points on the road this year twice and that was because of turnovers and special teams.

If you can find Roethlisberger over 30.5 passing attempts at even or better I like that play as well.

I would also play GB over 7.5 players with a reception if you can find it at +145 or better.

Lenny Del Genio

Will there be a defensive/special teams TD scored in the game? Yes +145 | No -170

We like to look for at least a few props where we can get 'plus money.' This is one such opportunity. Both teams ranked in the top six in the league in takeaways with the Steelers forcing 35 and the Packers 32. In the respective conference championship games, both teams scored a defensive TD. Last time Pittsburgh was in a Super Bowl, James Harrison returned an INT nearly 100 yards for a touchdown. Last time Green Bay was in a Super Bowl, return specialist Desmond Howard returned a punt for a TD. In last year's Super Bowl, the Saints clinched victory over Colts with an INT return for a TD. +145 odds is great value.

Which will be the highest scoring quarter? 1st Q +400 | 2nd Q +160 | 3rd Q +400 | 4th Q +200

Again, we are trying to look for 'plus money.' We looked over the last three Super Bowls and found there has been a disproportionate amount of scoring in the 4th quarter. In fact, those three fourth quarters saw: 15, 24 and 21 points scored. In sum, of the 129 points scored the last three Super Bowls, 59 of them were scored in the final quarter. There is always a feeling out process early in the game.

Hockey SB Props
By Judd Hall

If you were thinking that there wasn’t anymore that a betting shop could do to get action on the Super Bowl, then you were wrong. Gamblers can wager on more than just Christina Aguilera singing the National Anthem or the color of Gatorade that’ll get tossed on the head coach of the winning team.

Luckily for the more seasoned bettor, we can use a little more brainpower on some of the props for the big game. That’s because outlets like Sportsbook.com have posted loads of cross-sport options from golf, soccer, NBA and NHL.

On the ice, Sportsbook.com has eight different plays that coincide with the Super Bowl. Let’s look at a couple of these “who will have more” wagers, shall we?

Capitals’ shots on goal or Packers’ points?

It’s good to see the NHL give fans a reason to keep an eye on them for Super Sunday with its premier rivalry going right now in the Capitals and Penguins at the Verizon Center.

Washington hasn’t been the prolific scoring team that we’ve seen over the past few years. That isn’t stopping them from shooting on target with blind abandon, averaging 31.7 shots on goal this season.

The Caps are getting compared with the Packers’ points production, which are expecting the world out of for this game. But I have a feeling that a lot of people are expecting the 37-36 game they had with the Steelers last year. I’m going to side with the caution of how we’ve seen Green Bay pull out points this postseason, averaging 30 per game. Washington has put up 34 and 32 SOG against the Penguins in two meetings this season.

Sportsbook.com has Washington listed at -8½ for this game and that is just way too much for me to think they’ll cover.

Prop Play: Green Bay +8½ (-115)

Steven Stamkos points or Aaron Rodgers touchdown passes?

This prop might sound like a tough one to handicap, but that won’t stop us.

Steven Stamkos is one of the best players in hockey in just three seasons, having scored 39 goals and 68 points overall…both are the top marks in the NHL. And he’ll be taking on a hard luck team in the Blues on Sunday afternoon. Stamkos has had decent luck against St. Louis in his young career, registering four points in two games. And the Blues are giving at least four goals in their last four games this season.

Aaron Rodgers is a throwing fool this season, tossing 28 touchdown passes during the regular season and another six in the playoffs. And he threw for three scores in last year’s meeting with the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

Do I think Stamkos will have a great outing against the Blues? Absolutely. Will Rodgers get some good looks on a suspect Pittsburgh secondary? Yes, he will. Ultimately, I feel like these two will wind up on an equal number. That means we’re siding on the ice.

Prop Play: Steven Stamkos +½ (-170)

Super Bowl Props: Sharp money report
By Teddy Covers

Sharps are not loading up on either side for this game. They loved Green Bay at pick 'em, they loved Pittsburgh at +3. Now that the pointspread has settled between the two numbers, we're seeing lukewarm support for both sides, perhaps a notch or two more on the Packers side.

We definitely saw a bevy of sharps pounding the Under when it hit 46 last week; now down to 44 or 44.5. Sharps love the Dom Capers vs. Dick LeBeau defensive coordinator matchup with extra time to prepare. And we've seen Unders cash in five of the last six Super Bowls. The Steelers vs. Cardinals Super Bowl was the only recent exception, and that game was a dead nuts Under until a wild final five minutes.

Enough with the side and total! The real story about the Super Bowl comes from the plethora of proposition wagers available to wager on. For the sake of brevity, I'm going to concentrate on prop bets that are A.) at the Hilton and B.) were bet hard when the Hilton opened their numbers last week. Jay Kornegay and his staff are the industry leaders when it comes to Super Bowl props. I’ll happily give them the attention they deserve here.

Aaron Rodgers got bet up for his rushing numbers. Rodgers’ first rush of the game Over 4.5 yards took money, as did the Over 18.5 rushing yards for the game. Bettors expect him to scramble out of the pocket against LeBeau's blitzes effectively, like he's done all year.

There was also some upwards pressure on Rodgers at O/U 18.5 completions. The thought process goes like this: Pittsburgh had the best defense in the NFL at avoiding explosive plays – no team in the NFL allowed fewer plays of 20 yards or more this year. We can expect Rodgers to have to throw underneath which equals more completions, not more yardage. The yardage prop (O/U 274.5) has not moved nearly as much as the “Over completions” has moved.

Jordy Nelson is attracting quite a bit of wise guy support at O/U 40.5 yards and O/U 3.5 catches. Again, the season long numbers suggest a bet on the Under, but current form demands a play on the Over. In two playoff games: Nelson has eight and four catches, for 79 and 67 yards. Like Green Bay's defense, the Steelers have shown vulnerability to third and fourth receivers with their blitzing schemes.

James Starks Over 16 carries. Bettors watched Starks unable to gain yardage or first downs as Green Bay struggled to run out the clock against the Bears in the NFC Championship Game. And they know that the Steelers had the No. 1 rushing defense in the NFL this year. That's why Starks Over 49.5 yards hasn't attracted as much attention as his number of carries. Green Bay is favored, so Starks should get his fair share of carries in the second half if the Packers try to run out the clock. In three playoff games, he's had 23, 25 and 22 rushing attempts, despite only getting 29 for the entire regular season. Bettors expect that current form to continue.

Heath Miller -23.5 receiving yards vs. John Kuhn: Money poured in on Miller: 23.5 -120, then 26.5 -120, then 28.5 -120. Money also came on Heath Miller over 37.5 receiving yards for the game. Green Bay’s defense is vulnerable to big days from opposing tight ends – their secondary does a dynamite job containing first and second receivers, but not so good against the tight ends going over the middle.

Ben Roethlisberger first half passing yards vs. second half passing yards: This line opened pick -120 on the second half, and immediately got hit with heavy money on the 2nd half. The thought process here is two-fold: Green Bay is favored and Pitt came out running vs. the Jets. Green Bay favored means that they should be leading at halftime, forcing Pittsburgh into a more pass heavy attack. Pittsburgh ran against the Jets and it worked, so expect a similar gameplan here resulting in fewer Roethlisberger pass attempts (and therefore passing yards) in the first half.

Every year, wise guys lay heavy juice on props that the squares love to hit at plus prices. The classic here is the “Will there be overtime?” The “No” has cashed every year since the Super Bowl started. Squares bet the “Yes” every year looking for the long shot score. Sharps happily lay -1100 to win $100 on the “No”.

Sharps bet the “No” on “Will Troy Polamalu record an interception” at -300. Polamalu is not going to be 100%; he was basically a non-factor in the first two playoff games. This is another type of heavy juice prop that professional bettors are willing to lay, while squares look for the plus price on the “Yes”.

It's a similar story on the “Will there be a safety” prop (also a near 10:1 shot), and the “Will either team score three straight times”, with the “Yes” (what wise guys bet) at -175 and the “No” at a nice plus price. Sharps also look to bet “Shortest touchdown of the game under 1.5 yards”, while squares bet that same prop Over 1.5 yards, even though it tends to be priced in the -115 range.

We've seen sharp money coming in on “Different Packers with a rushing attempt” Over 4. Green Bay's last eight games saw four with four rushers and four with five rushers. Those are very different recent numbers compared to their full season numbers. James Starks, Aaron Rodgers, John Kuhn and Brandon Jackson are virtual locks to get at least one carry, so this bet becomes something of a free roll: one end around or reverse and Over tickets cash. Pittsburgh was lined at 4.5 rushers; not taking anywhere near the same amount of Over money.

Some books opened Packers and Steelers O/U 6.5 different players with a reception. Hilton opened that prop O/U 7.5. Needless to say, the books that opened 6.5 are now Over -200 or higher.

Player to get first reception: Mike Wallace vs. Greg Jennings. Jennings got bet hard, now a heavy favorite. Current form shows a dramatic decline from Wallace in the playoffs, catching only four passes in Pittsburgh’s two wins. Meanwhile, the Packers targeted Jennings with their first two plays from scrimmage in the NFC Championship, and he finished the game with eight receptions for the second consecutive week.

Let's not forget those punters! Tim Masthay of Green Bay took some $$ with his longest punt Over 54.5 yards bet up to 55 -130 right from the get-go. Masthay also took some “no touchback” money, even at -200. He only had five touchbacks all year, compared to 25 punts downed inside the 20.

Top Super Bowl Prop Tips
By Marc Lawrence

Super Bowl XLV in Arlington, Texas kicks off February 6 when Green Bay meets Pittsburgh with the Packers looking to become the first No. 6 seed from the NFC to win the coveted prize.

Aside from betting the game itself, a myriad of betting propositions abound in every Super Bowl as amateur gamblers with an opinion come out of the closet more often this time of the year than homosexuals at a gay rally.

It’s important to remember that when betting Super Bowl props the oddsmaker holds a huge edge as many of the props carry as much of a 40-cent ‘juice’ edge in his favor. Thus, it’s critically important to make sure you have some sort of built-in advantage working in your favor before taking the plunge.

In addition, the props are designed to create more action for the books.

"The props were designed not only to get us publicity but to spread the money out. We didn't just want one big decision for the day; we want 10 or 20 big decisions. Our chances obviously are better if we have 20 major decisions compared to one," said Jay Kornegay, director of Race and Sports at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Furthermore, it’s important to realize that props are set for the public and because they tend to bet on teams and players to succeed (yes bets), most of the money is going to be bet on the 'positive' side of a prop.

According to Kornegay, this is the only NFL game of the year where he doesn't set the line with the professional bettors in mind. The professionals, he adds, do bet on props but the handle taken in from the public masses that flock to Las Vegas during Super Bowl weekend far outweighs the smart money.

Here are some “tips” on some of the more popular propositions when it comes to prop wagering on this year’s Super Bowl.

1. The Coin Toss

A wildly popular prop that fans love betting on is the Coin Toss. It’s fast and it takes place just prior to kick-off. It has also witnessed the NFC winning the pre-game coin flip each of the last 13 years in a row. What does it mean? Nothing. The odds on the NFC winning this year’s coin flip: 50/50.

2.Quarterback Action Tops Player Props

Bets involving the quarterbacks are extremely popular and for all the right reasons as signal callers have won the Super Bowl MVP award 23 times in 44 previous Super Bowl games. Running backs and wide receivers have carted home the MVP trophy seven times each, with others (read: defensive performers) also totaling seven MVP’s.

Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger lead the charge this year. In head-to-head proposition competition the Hilton favors Rodgers by 30.5 yards and 0.5 touchdowns over Roethlisberger.

3. Sacks Are Not Tackles

When betting on the over/under number of tackles it’s important to know that sacks are not recorded as a tackle.

4. Team Scoring Tendencies

Certain edges can be found when it comes to scoring props but rest assured, you are not pulling the wool over the oddsmaker eyes.

Here is a breakdown of quarter-by-quarter scoring and averages for-and-against in all games played this season for both squads -

1Q – Green Bay: 88-46 / 4.64-2.43
1Q – Pittsburgh: 72-63 / 4.00-3.50

2Q – Green Bay: 162-102 / 8.53–5.37
2Q – Pittsburgh: 165-42 / 9.17-2.34

3Q – Green Bay: 131-40 / 6.90-2.11
3Q – Pittsburgh: 107-46 / 5.95-2.56

4Q – Green Bay: 110-87 / 5.79-4.58
4Q – Pittsburgh: 127-114 / 7.06-6.34

Notice that Green Bay’s defense has been its stingiest in the 3Q this season, whereas Pittsburgh’s defense has performed at its best level in the 2Q. Meanwhile, both the Packers and Steelers offenses were most effective in the 2Q and least effective in the opening stanza.

Incidentally, each team played two overtimes games this season, with Pittsburgh winning both (9-0) and Green Bay losing both (0-6).

5. Player Scoring Tendencies

The leading candidate to score first in Super Bowl XLV is Pittsburgh RB Rashard Mendenhall. He tied for 2nd in rushing touchdowns this season with 13.

Behind Mendenhall in the prop wars to score first is Green Bay WR Greg Jennings with Pittsburgh WR Mike Wallace next in line.

Interestingly, Jennings leads the NFL in postseason receptions with 17 for 239 yards through the first three games of the 2011 playoffs, but zero touchdown receptions so far. Look for the Packers’ top receiver to finally find the end zone.

Over the previous 44 Super Bowls, wide receivers lead the brigade, scoring the first touchdown 17 times. Running backs are right on their heels with 16 initial scores. Tight ends have scored first five times, with quarterbacks, kick returners and defensive players two times each.

6. Odd Props

Melding Super Bowl props with other sports (i.e. - will there be more sacks in the Super Bowl or shots on goal by Washington Capitals’ Alexander Ovechkin in his team’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins) is another popular prop.

One personality prop that fans are sure to be attracted to is the over/under on the amount of times Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will appear live on the cameras during the game (photos do not count). The opening number is 2.5. Our best guess is that while Jones loves hogging camera time, we won’t see his made-over mug more than twice.

Another is the length of time it will take pop singer Christina Aguilera to sing the national anthem. Knowing it took her 1:54 seconds to perform the same in the 2010 NBA finals, and figuring she will want as much air-time as possible, the ‘over’ 1:53 sounds like music to our ears.

With this, the question becomes: “Which history repeats itself?”

Super Bowl Prop Traps
Mr. East

I want to examine what I call a "trap" prop. here is the prop,and then I'll explain why it is a trap, and where the value is.

Will each team kick a field goal of 33 yards or more YES or NO? Yes is +155 and no is -175.

Looking back there have been 44 Superbowls played to date. The 44 have shown that only 10 times has their been a FG of 33 yards by both teams. That means 10 of 44 = 22.7% of the time, or 1 in every 4.4 Superbowls. So Mr. bettor says wow, what a find, I can get a 4.4-1 situation at 1.75-1 odds, so I'll play NO on this one.

Here is why it is a mistake. The first 10 Superbowls, the goal posts were on the goalline! That means that a 33 yard FG was kicked from the 33 yardline, which today would be a 43 yard FG!!! The kickers also weren't as accurate back then, and teams that got t the 30 yardline would go for it on 4th down at a much higher frequency, just as they do today from the 40 yard line. So consequently, nt a single time in the first 10 Superbowls did this prop have both teams kicking a 33 yard FG. The fact is their were only 4 made in the entire 10 games from 33+, and the only 2 Superbowls without a FG occured in Superbowl 7 and 9.

The first 22 Superbowls saw 14 of the 50 made FG's come from 33+ yards out. Contrast that to modern day NFL, and 29 of the 57 made FG's in the last 22 years or 50.9%! Huge difference.

Kickers get better and more accurate as the years go by. Also, this one is being played indoors no wind, no weather, with 2 top defenses that can get a few more stops, leading to perhaps an extra attempt or 2.

While there has been just 10 games with both sides kicking a 33+ yard FG, just 2 occured in the first 22 years! Fast forward and history shows in the last 9 years 4 times both teams have kicked 33+ FG's. So at +155 odds you would of made +620 and lost -500 in the 9 years. Not enough to get crazy about, but enough to show the books have a sucker line out there drawing action in on the wrong side, and inflating it as well!

Super Bowl Props
By: BoDog

It's been 25 years since William "The Refrigerator" Perry ran for a touchdown at Super Bowl XX. Little did we know that Perry would start a football betting revolution. Proposition bets weren't widely talked about until that fateful day in 1986 when Caesar's Palace posted 20-1 odds that Perry would score a TD for the Chicago Bears against the New England Patriots. Perry was a 380-pound defensive tackle who gained national attention for both his size and his versatility – he scored three TDs during the regular season operating as a fullback in short-yardage situations. Sure enough, the prop bet itself made headlines, and eager fans ponied up in support of Perry. His odds for scoring were down to 3-1 by kickoff.

The books took a bath that day. But they also realized they had something special on their hands. This year, roughly half of the Super Bowl betting action is expected to come in for props. Bodog Sports has over 320 player and team props on the board for Sunday's big game. And the sharps couldn't be happier. Each prop is an opportunity to find some value, maybe even to outsmart the oddsmakers.

The big pile of Super Bowl props can be divided into two camps: those that have to do with the football game itself, and those that don't. It's the second pile where you can find the best bargains. The farther a prop gets away from a bookmaker's area of expertise, the more likely it is the book will put up a soft line. The most popular props these days have nothing at all to do with football. At the top of the list:

How long will it take Christina Aguilera to sing the National Anthem?
(Total: 1 minute, 54 seconds OVER: –175 UNDER: +135)

This prop has been a goldmine for sharps. Jordin Sparks, Jennifer Hudson and Carrie Underwood all went OVER the posted total; Billy Joel was the last one to go UNDER. There's a logical reason for this. The odds are set by looking at previous performances of The Star-Spangled Banner from the singer in question. However, since the Super Bowl is arguably the biggest stage in all of American culture, it's natural for the singer to put extra emphasis on the anthem by stretching out the last few words. That's if they have the pipes. Joel didn't; Underwood went a couple of seconds OVER, while Sparks and Hudson are still holding that last note to this day.

None of this is any secret to the oddsmakers. There are still plenty of people betting on the UNDER who haven't thought about how long Aguilera can hold a note – which is a long, long time. And the betting line can always move to balance out the action. Sharps are on the lookout for this, just in case there's an opportunity to middle the prop. Speaking of Aguilera, this year Bodog Sports has expanded the Anthem Props list to four, including how long she can hold the word brave at the end. The total is six seconds with OVER priced at –140 as we go to press.

The more entertainment the NFL crams into the Super Bowl experience, the more entertainment-based Super Bowl props there will be. But there's also a football game to be played. Some sharps will only look at the props that have to do with the game itself; for them, this is the grown-up table where serious football handicappers do their work. The lines are also tighter, but not nearly as tight as the standard pointspread. A savvy handicapper will already have a method for analyzing player performance – the spread of advanced football stats on the Web has made this part of the job easier and more reliable every year. Let's highlight one of the most popular Super Bowl props in the non-entertainment category:

Total Passing Yards – Ben Roethlisberger
(Total: 240.5 yards OVER: –125 UNDER: –105)

If you look at Roethlisberger's raw numbers from this year, he topped 240 yards in 10 of his 12 regular-season starts, but neither of his two playoff games. Congratulations: You already know more about the situation than many bettors who will blindly take either side of this prop, and more likely the OVER, since more people like offense and tend to bet on what they like. But you can make your bet even sharper by doing a deeper analysis. A good place to start would be with the Green Bay defense, which ranked first in the league in efficiency against the pass according to Football Outsiders. An informed bet is a sharp bet.

Possible Super Bowl MVP Long Shots
By: BoDog

As one would expect, the two starting quarterbacks for Sunday’s Super Bowl XLV between Green Bay and Pittsburgh are the two heavy MVP favorites: the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers at 3/2 (and he has gotten so much action his odds have dropped from 7/2) and the Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger at 7/2.

Then you have the two starting running backs among the favorites as well, with Green Bay’s James Starks at 16/1 and Pittsburgh’s Rashard Mendenhall at 15/2. Don’t forget each team’s No. 1 receivers: The Packers’ Greg Jennings at 12/1 and the Steelers’ Mike Wallace at 16/1. Those guys should all be favored. After all, a quarterback has won the award 23 times, a running back seven times and a receiver six times. That means all other positions have combined for just eight awards.

But here are a few long-shot bets (25/1 or higher) who might just steal the award away from one of the big names:

James Jones, Packers WR (30/1): Jones has emerged as a solid big-play threat when teams focus on Jennings. Jones tends to be all or nothing, as he had a total of two catches for 19 yards in the playoff wins over the Eagles and Bears. But against Atlanta he had four catches for 74 yards and a touchdown. Overall he has found the end zone four times in Green Bay’s past six games. If the Steelers focus on shutting Jennings down, Jones and not Donald Driver might benefit the most.

Tramon Williams, Packers CB (25/1): Charles Woodson gets all the publicity but Williams has been this team’s best cornerback of late. He had six picks in the regular season and has three to lead all players in the postseason, including one brought back for a touchdown against the Falcons.

James Harrison, Steelers LB (25/1): Harrison perhaps should have been the Super Bowl MVP two years ago for that epic interception returned for a TD 100 yards at the end of the first half against the Cardinals. Harrison remains a terror off the edge with 10.5 sacks and six forced fumbles. Plus he had two picks this year. Green Bay’s offensive line is a bit questionable and Harrison could have a huge game.

Heath Miller, Steelers TE (30/1): The Packers are strong at cornerback so they might be able to take the outside of the field away from Mike Wallace, Hines Ward, Antonio Brown, etc. That could open the middle for Miller, who has seven catches for 77 yards and a touchdown in these playoffs. And for what it’s worth, in last year’s shootout win over Green Bay, Miller had seven catches for 118 yards.
