Betting Odds - AFC favored in Super Bowl
As you consider Super Bowl betting odds you may want to look at the stats of each team. ATS stats show us New England is 10-7 against the spread this season heading into the AFC Championship game but they are only 2-7 ATS in their last eight games. That might concern those looking to take them in Super Bowl betting odds. They have gone over the total in 11 of their 17 games which might make the over attractive in Super Bowl betting odds. San Diego is 13-5 ATS and 11 of their 18 games have gone over the total. In the NFC the Packers are a league-best 13-3-1 against the spread and punters might take them in Super Bowl betting. They were 10-5-2 to the Over which makes the total look attractive in Super Bowl betting odds. The Giants are 12-6 ATS and are 9-9 on totals.
Oddsmakers have Super Bowl betting odds with the AFC nearly a two touchdown favorite over the NFC. Most experts believe that New England will beat San Diego and that the Patriots will be a two touchdown favorite over either Green Bay or the New York Giants in Super Bowl betting odds.
Super Bowl betting odds would actually have the Patriots favored by about 17 points if they played the Giants. What could upset the apple cart is if the Patriots lose against San Diego. Then the Super Bowl betting odds on the AFC drop like a rock. The Chargers would be less than a TD favorite over either Green Bay or the Giants. As you consider Super Bowl betting you might want to know that heading into the Conference Championships underdogs are holding their own. This NFL playoff season has seen the underdogs go 5-3 against the spread.
As you consider Super Bowl betting odds you might want to know that over/unders in the playoffs so far are right down the middle with four games going over and four going under. Traditionally, Super Bowl betting odds have seen the favorites do well in the Super Bowl and the games be high scoring. That trend has slowed in recent years in terms of the total though as the last two Super Bowls have gone under the total in Super Bowl betting. This years Super Bowl betting total could be one of the highest ever if New England plays Green Bay. The Patriots are the highest scoring team in NFL history and Green Bay is no slouch either. A total near 60 would not be a surprise in Super Bowl betting odds.

Superbowl betting proposition bets, also know as props, has grown in popularity over the years with some sportsbooks now taking in a lot of money on them.
Superbowl odds are released on the Super Bowl once the Championship games have been completed while Superbowl odds on the props come out a few days later.
Superbowl betting prop bets will have the normal options that include first team to score, most sacks, interceptions, passing yards, etc. There will be other Superbowl betting props as well and they could involve other sports like hockey or basketball and be tied into the Super Bowl.
You might have a prop of how many goals a team scores versus how many touchdowns a team scores. You might have Superbowl betting prop on points scored by an NBA player versus points scored by one of the Super Bowl teams. There are more and more Superbowl betting propositions every season.
Super Bowl odds present some many opportunities for bettors. The Superbowl is not just another game for bettors around the world; it is a game where they must have action. When bettors look at the Super Bowl odds they have to pick something. It could be a side, it could be a total, or it might be one of the many proposition bets available. When you look at Super Bowl odds you really should take a step back and realize that the line you see on the game is not what it should be. The Superbowl is the most heavily bet game of the year. It is also the game with the most public action. That means that people are almost always going to bet the favorite and the over. The oddsmakers know this fact and they are going to shade the Super Bowl odds toward the favorite and the over more than they have at any time of the season.
You may see an adjustment of 2 or 3 points. The Super Bowl odds makers arent afraid of wiseguy action in the big game. They welcome it. What they are afraid of is public action and they must make the favorite and the over as high as they can so they will attract some bettors to the dog and the under on the Super Bowl odds board.
Super Bowl odds present great opportunities for both sportsbooks and bettors. Sportsbooks take in a ton of handle on the game and unless the game comes in heavily for the favorite and the over they do pretty well. The bad news for the books and good news for the players is that the history of Super Bowl odds has shown that the favorite and the over do okay.
If you cant find a side or a total that really appeals to you in the Super Bowl odds then consider one of the many prop bets. Those proposition bets should keep you in action for most of the game and give you something to cheer about. As you consider Super Bowl odds remember that you can bet more than just the side and the total.
Good Luck, see you at the pay window
