The Super Bowl is considered the premier online sportsbook betting event in the United States. Without a doubt, most online NFL betting fans wait in anticipation for the Super Bowl.
This is where football betting fans try to cash in on the big bucks. One of the best things about the Super Bowl is the fact that the BetUS NFL odds makers release more than just one against the spread line. This allows the astute online betting fan to find the best online odds for the biggest game of the season.
The prop bets revolving around Pittsburgh wide receiver Hines Ward may be the key to big Super Bowl profits.
Ward, who sprained the MCL in his knee last week against Baltimore, will play but is not going to be close to 100% so it could offer bettors the chance to make out with lots of cash.
Take a look at our full list of 300+ props, and do your homework wisely as these represent the best chance to outsmart your fellow bettors, as well as provide a huge return on a small wager in a lot of cases.
At least Cowher did Tomlin a favor by filling up the Championship hand of Pittsburgh with “one for the thumb.” Now Tomlin has a fresh hand to build his own legacy, and it could start as soon as February 1st, when the Steelers and Cardinals throw the gauntlet down in Tampa Bay for Super Bowl XLIII.

The weekend NHL betting schedule delivers two top-notch matchups on Saturday night, as the top two teams in the East (Boston and Washington) and the top two teams in the West (San Jose and Detroit) collide.
Rua vs. Coleman: The Rematch
The second biggest fight of the night pits Mauricio Rua (-400) against Mark Coleman (+250) in a re-match of their PRIDE fight that took place in Japan in 2006. It ended with the hall of fame Coleman pulling off a stunning upset by breaking Rua’s arm in the first round.
At the ripe old age of 44 and with his last fight taking place more than two years ago, it seems as if many of the experts aren’t giving Mark “The Hammer” Coleman any sort of chance against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 93 in Dublin, Ireland.
The former Ohio State wrestler and one of the pioneers of the wrestling-based “ground and pound” style enters the octagon against the 27-year old Rua as a decided underdog in the betus.com sports books. Rua is a +400 to -250 favorite over Coleman, who beat him by what some observers call a fluky arm break back in 2006.
No offense to Alan Belcher, but when he enters the octagon on January 17th at UFC 93 in Dublin, Ireland, most eyes in the building will be on his opponent, UFC newcomer Denis Kang.
Kang’s sometimes flashy fighting style and tantalizing athletic ability helped land him a four-fight contract with the UFC after fighting in tons of other organizations, and now the half-Korean, half-French middleweight challenger will have to justify it with a win over Belcher.
UFC 93 is just a few days away and sports betting fans have to be licking their fight betting chops in anticipation for the brawling that should ensue in Dublin, Ireland.
The online betting odds haven’t changed that much in the main event, Rich Franklin versus Dan Henderson, but in the prelim bout, some BetUS online sportsbook betting fans are calling it the co-main event, the online odds have changed somewhat.
Buffalo Sabres (-175) at Chicago Blackhawks (+155)
The Sabres head to the United Center for a match-up with the red-hot Blackhawks. Chicago does not give up points at home, they are a blistering 13-2-4 at home while the Sabres have a good overall record, they are only two games over .500 on the road. Chicago goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, who has allowed two goals or fewer in seven of hits last eight appearances, possesses a save percentage of .926 and is at the top of his game.
I can’t think of an online sportsbook betting fan that really believed both the Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals would win in their NFC Divisional Playoff games this past weekend.
Both the Cardinals and Eagles were online betting underdogs in their games but both came through big time.
In the AFC the AFC North Division sent two teams to the AFC Conference Championship game in the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Eagles got a lot of help in the last week of the regular season. More than anything else, however, they helped themselves, with a 44-6 win over Dallas that propelled them into this position after all may have seemed lost the week before against Washington. Meanwhile, the Vikings got a one-point win over the Giants, in a game they didn’t necessarily need, since Chicago lost its “must win” game against Houston.
The Dolphins have won nine of their last ten games to complete a ten-game improvement, and did so by bucking a trend and beating the Jets in the regular season finale. If you recall, the only win for Miami last year was a 22-16 overtime thriller at this site when Troy Smith was the Baltimore quarterback.
Ball State is already shy of personnel. Coach Brady Hoke, an alum, took a better offer from San Diego State, which is a lowly team. That should tell you a little about the state of the Ball State football program. Taking over the team for this ballgame is Stan Parrish, who was formerly a coach at Kansas State and won two out of 33 games.
