Superbowl XLII Odds drop early
Super Bowl odds have the Patriots as a heavy favorite but New England has not rewarded bettors of late. The Patriots are 1-7 against the spread in their last 8 games and it is also worth noting that the Patriots have been to five Super Bowls and have only covered the Super Bowl odds only once.
The Giants have been a pointspread winner of late, covering their last five games. They are 10-1 on the road this season and the NFL has designated them the road team in the Superbowl although the game is played on a neutral field in Arizona.
Super Bowl odds for Super Bowl XLII have dropped from their opening number which had New England a 13.5 point favorite against the New York Giants.
Super Bowl odds on the Patriots dropped to -12 but that number is expected to rise when the public starts betting New England in the days leading up to the Superbowl.
Super Bowl betting is the most popular type of sports betting and the Super Bowl is the most popular event. The average selling price for a single Super Bowl XLII ticket is well over $4,000. Premium seats for the big game have been listed at almost $20,000. The game matches the unbeaten Patriots searching for a perfect season against a New York team.
That makes for a very popular game. It also helps that the game will be held in great weather conditions at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona where they have a retractable roof.
Super Bowl betting and ticket prices are at record highs. One ticket site sold 14 sideline tickets to a Florida resident for $90,000. Some Super Bowl packages are listed at well over $100,000 on the online auction sites like eBay. Everyone has an interest in seeing if NFL history can be made.
Super Bowl betting is also expected to set records. With all of the online Super Bowl betting plus the legal betting in Nevada and illegal betting with bookies all over the world, the handle will be in the billions. Nevada alone is expected to rake in about $100 million on Super Bowl betting. That is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount wagered online and with bookies around the world in Super Bowl betting.
Super Bowl betting for many gamblers will be all about taking the Patriots. The public loves betting New England and that means the closing line for Super Bowl betting will probably have the Patriots a two touchdown favorite. The total will also be bet over, which means it will probably rise to at least the mid 50s.
Sportsbooks will probably need New England to win the game outright but not cover the Super Bowl betting pointspread and the game to go under the total. That is almost always the case in Super Bowl betting as gamblers bet the favorite on the pointspread, the underdog on the money line, and the game over the total.
Good Luck, see you at the pay window

Superbowl betting lines can be beaten if you know what to look for.
Superbowl betting lines will almost always have value attached to them because the public loves to bet the favorite and the over. This doesnt mean a favorite cant have value though. Lets look at some keys to consider for betting Super Bowl odds.
What are the keys that will point you towards value, which is what will ultimately point you towards success as you look at Super Bowl odds? Let’s take a look at some keys to Superbowl betting lines.
Super Bowl odds have the Patriots as a heavy favorite but New England has not rewarded bettors of late. The Patriots are 1-7 against the spread in their last 8 games and it is also worth noting that the Patriots have been to five Super Bowls and have only covered the Super Bowl odds only once. The Giants have been a pointspread winner of late, covering their last five games. They are 10-1 on the road this season and the NFL has designated them the road team in the Superbowl although the game is played on a neutral field in Arizona.
Early Super Bowl odds are often bet by the wise guys as they look for value. Taking the Giants plus the points and the game under the total would be the best value but that doesnt mean those bets will win. Super Bowls have seen the favorite cover more than half the time and the game go over more often than not.
Super Bowl odds should rise as the public starts betting the game. Usually with Super Bowl odds there is a lot of betting action just after the Super Bowl odds are released. Then things settle in and the Super Bowl odds dont move much until a couple of days before the game. Super Bowl odds this year are expected to attract a record amount of money. Nevada, where sports betting is legal in the U.S., is expected to set a record with more than $100 million in wagers. World-wide, the numbers are expected to be in the billions, although no official numbers can be tracked for Superbowl betting.
New York is the early betting choice in Super Bowl odds but that may not continue in the days leading up to the game. The Patriots will be playing in perfect weather in Arizona and the offense that has been bottled up in recent weeks in the cold weather of New England should be unleashed in the Superbowl against the Giants.
Good Luck, see you at the pay window
