I’m half way drunk and ready to rock for Friday night! What better time for me to rant on about the hilarious amount of Superbowl props that we have on the board! Between the coin toss, the National Anthem and the amount of penalty flags sailing through the Tampa skies, there’s plenty of you to make a quick buck on.
The biggest sports betting event of the year takes place this Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals meet on the grid-iron to determine the winner of the 2008-2009 Super Bowl.
The Cardinals are the surprise team after garnering a 9 and 7 straight-up record during the regular season.
Super Bowl pick: Pittsburgh’s defense will simply be overwhelming
Finally, it’s time to make your Super Bowl XLIII pick. Those who bet on sports have been waiting this moment for nearly two weeks. It’s ridiculous that the NFL makes us wait, but that’s a story for another day.
The biggest day in the sports world is almost upon us and Super Bowl XLIII couldn’t be more exciting. The matchup features a team that has never made a Super Bowl against one that’s been there seven times. Fan interest is at an all-time high and there couldn’t be more to look forward to on the field.
The Connecticut Huskies have been making their backers a lot of cash on the road this season.
UConn is 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in road games with lines this year. They had a huge win at Notre Dame that snapped the incredible 45-game home winning streak the Irish were on. Their only ATS loss was a 67-55 win at St. John’s where they failed to cover the spread by a measly half a point.
Bettors don’t expect the Pittsburgh Steelers top-ranked defense to contain the Arizona Cardinals’ offense on Sunday night.
Since the Total for Super Bowl XLIII opened at 46 ½-points, Sportsbook.com members have been consistently backing the Over, with 63% of bettors expecting the offenses to combine to beat the number.

This year’s Super Bowl seems to be just another game as it can’t compete with all the hype from a year ago when New England and the New York Giants hooked up with all the buzz surrounding a perfect season. But don’t let this year’s matchup fool you as it too has some interesting stories. First off we have a team (Arizona) who had not won a playoff since 1947.
The Washington State Cougars (11-8 SU, 5-11 ATS, 6-10 O/U) have dropped two straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook. The 14th-ranked Arizona State Sun Devils (16-3 SU, 10-5 ATS, 7-8 O/U) have won two consecutive games and four of their last five overall. Tonight, both teams will be trying to pick up an SU and ATS win in the BetUS Sportsbook when they battle at Wells Fargo Arena.

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.
