NFL Super Bowl Betting

Super Bowl 46 and Super Bowl 42 have a lot in common, as not only is the game a rematch between the New England Patriots and New York Giants, but also the Patriots are a sports betting favorite on both the moneyline and point spread for the game. New England and New York each have yet to make the Super Bowl since their historic clash in Super Bowl 42. Meaning to say, in two weeks time from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana something has to give. Here is a bookie software preview of Super Bowl 46.

NFL Super Bowl betting is a lot like regular season betting, in that you can use the point spread, moneyline and totals as your basic wagers to pick which team will win the game. However, where the game differs, is in the proposition betting lines. Essentially, you can’t make proposition wagers throughout the regular season, but you can during the Super Bowl. In fact, it is almost required that casual and experienced NFL fans make props bets for the Super Bowl.

A couple of proposition bets that are made annually, are the coin toss bets, seeing, which team will win the coin toss, as well as which team will score first. Other bets that are taken into account, is which individual player will score the first touchdown, and which player will be able to make the first interception.

Looking at a preview of the game, similar to Super Bowl 42, the majority of favorable odds for Super Bowl 46 will go to the New England Patriots. Currently sitting at a record of 15 and three overall, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have their team rolling on all cylinders. Meanwhile, Eli Manning and the New York Giants sit at 12 and seven, which is misleading, considering they look like a 15 and three team themselves.
