The circus we know as Super Bowl week is slowly winding down. Tuesday was Media Day, always good for a few laughs, but things have been pretty quiet out of Tampa since the teams arrived.
Even on the betting side things have been relatively quiet.
Growing up in Philadelphia I saw many great games in the Spectrum in South Philly. Keep in mind that I am not your typical Philadelphia fan in fact I’m hated in these parts because I root for all of sports teams in Boston. From a sports point of view May 19, 1974 was the worst sports day of my life.
We have so much time on our hands before the Super Bowl that we can afford the luxury of breaking this game down from a million different angles. It also means, unfortunately, that we have more than enough time to become very sick of talking about some aspects of the game. Yes, I’m talking about you, Anquan Boldin.
In Pro Basketball, winning and losing are often not the final criteria in judging a team. When one team plays better in defeat, than another does in winning, you can gain real value by seeing through the misleading results. When handicapping Pro Basketball, some fundamentals and considerations are not just the venue. Remember the worst team can beat the best team on any given day.
The NBA Standings are what typical drives gamblers, but those that have been around for awhile and do this for a living, don’t pay attention to the standings at all. It isn’t wins and losses that puts money in your account, it is wins and losses against the spread. One thing I like to do, as the season reaches the halfway mark, is create a different type of standings.
BetUS Sportsbook bettors who indulge in the mixed martial arts will get a chance to see two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world on January 31 (Saturday), when Georges St. Pierre defends his UFC welterweight title against B.J.

Dayton Flyers and an Early Exit
The Dayton Flyers will probably make the NCAA tournament because their record is 18-2 but if you take a closer looks at the Flyers you will see that they will probably not make it past the 1st weekend maybe not day 1. Dayton should be really worried about there weak schedule as the strength of schedule is 143rd. They were able to defeat Marquette and Auburn neutral courts early in the year and also have a home win against Miami, Oh.
Super Bowl betting has finally arrived, and Bookmaker Sportsbook customers will have one final chance to boost their bankrolls for the football season. In Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals (12-7, 12-7 ATS) will look to shock the world and become improbable champions of the football world, but standing in their way will be the Pittsburgh Steelers (14-4, 11-7 ATS).
Super Bowl MVP bettors are likely to lean towards putting money on the quarterbacks but there are plenty of other options that deserve attention.
With Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald having an outstanding playoffs and Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu having a chance to intercept one or two of the many passes that Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner will pass, there are a number of choices that could lead to a big payday when the MVP trophy is handed out Sunday night.

The ‘StatFox Super Bowl Scuffle’ aka our prop debate, has become as big of a tradition as parties, commercials, and gambling when it comes to Super Bowl Sunday.
Well, not really, but readers do seem to like it, as it is always one of the most popular pieces of the year.
This year will mark the fourth edition of the Super Bowl Scuffle, in which StatFox representatives Steve Makinen and Doug Upstone debate the wide array of betting options available on Sunday.
Cleveland Cavaliers center Zydrunas Illgauskas could return to the lineup on Thursday against the Orlando Magic and it could be the betting key.
The 7’3” big man has missed the last 12 games with an ankle injury and the team has gone just 7-5 against the spread (ATS). For the season, the Cavs are just 9-6 ATS with ‘Z’ out of the lineup.
Contrast that with Cleveland’s stellar 20-8 ATS record with him, and you can see why bettors are constantly checking the latest injury report for this contest.
A suckage disclosure: Before getting going on this annual tradition of choosing the Super Bowl champeen, I should mention that I picked the Steelers to finish second in the AFC North behind the Cleveland Browns. As for the Cardinals, they also were supposed to be runners up in the NFC West behind the (ahem) Seattle Seahawks.
The Big Game has cranked out some big numbers over the years – like the $94.5 million wagered in Nevada alone for Super Bowl XL, and the $8-10 billion expected to change hands worldwide this Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals do their thing.
