Superbowl XLII Odds drop early
The Patriots are heavy favorites in Super Bowl odds because they are trying to make NFL history and complete a perfect season. If they win they will wear the crown of the best NFL team in history, surpassing the 1972 Dolphins who also went undefeated but did not play as many games since the regular season was only 14 games. If the Patriots win and cover Super Bowl odds they would also be thought of as a dynasty with four Super Bowl wins in seven years.
Super Bowl odds have the New York Giants as nearly two touchdown underdogs against the New England Patriots.
Super Bowl odds have actually come down as New England opened a 13.5 point favorite and is down to -12 on the Super Bowl odds board. The key for New York in Super Bowl XLII could be the play of Eli Manning. He has thrown four touchdowns and no interceptions the last three games as the Giants have won and covered each game. He also played well in the regular season finale against the Patriots as New York lost 38-35. Manning threw four touchdowns in that defeat.
Most experts believe that the Patriots will complete their perfect season, but covering the big Super Bowl odds might prove difficult.
Looking at Super Bowl betting odds it is easy to see why bettors are playing the underdog Giants. Favorites are only 2-8 against the spread in the playoffs and New England has covered only two of their last 10 games.
Super Bowl betting odds are probably the most popular type of sports betting odds for gamblers. It is important to have a good idea of what you looking at when you see Super Bowl odds. If you dont have the knowledge then go to someone that does have it. That may mean you want to use a handicapping service. Most are not that good though, so beware. If you are going to bet Super Bowl betting odds then you better understand what handicapping factors are important and which ones are not. The more knowledge you have, the better your chances of winning money versus Super Bowl betting odds.
The second one of the big three is money management. If you cant manage your money and are not properly prepared then you wont win versus Super Bowl betting odds. It is a very good idea to set yourself a bankroll that you use specifically for Super Bowl betting odds and then set up specific amounts for your wagers. If you dont do this in advance then you will be tempted to change the amounts and get yourself in trouble when you look at Super Bowl odds. Decide upon your money management plan before you look at Super Bowl betting odds.
The final one of the big three is perhaps the most important. It is discipline versus Super Bowl betting odds. There are so many players that can pick winners but yet they lose money and that includes when they bet Super Bowl odds. You must remain disciplined and in control if you want to win money when betting Super Bowl odds. If you can improve your knowledge, money management and discipline you have a much better chance of winning money versus Super Bowl betting odds. If you dont have these three as part of your overall makeup then you better start getting them because they are absolutely essential if you want to win money versus Super Bowl betting odds.
Good Luck, see you at the pay window

Super Bowl betting starts by talking about the favorite and the over.
That is what Super Bowl betting is all about. The Super Bowl betting public just cant ever see the underdog winning. You would think that usually the public would be wrong in their assumptions about the Super Bowl betting favorite, but oftentimes they are not.
Of the Super Bowl betting games the favorite and dog are actually quite close in Super Bowl betting numbers. Depending upon the closing number it varies a little bit but the consensus is that the favorites are 21-17 with three pushes.
The underdog has actually won the game outright 12 times, so the pointspread only came into play 8 times out of 41. If you picked the winner then you probably won your Super Bowl betting choice. What was the biggest Super Bowl betting spread you ask? The largest point spread of any Super Bowl was Super Bowl betting XXIX where San Francisco was an 18 point favorite against San Diego.
The 49ers won and covered easily against the Super Bowl betting pointspread 49-26. There is a little bit of question about a previous Super Bowl betting line though. Some people think Super Bowl betting III had a larger pointspread. The Colts opened as a 17 point favorite against the Jets and there were reports it was at a 20 point spread before the game.
The problem with those reports is that it is more word of mouth than actual records like you see now on the computer. The story of that game was Joe Namath guaranteeing victory and delivering as the Jets upset Baltimore 16-7.
Super Bowl betting line movement usually goes toward the favorite in the Super Bowl but so far in Super Bowl XLII that is not the case. The public believes that the Giants can cover the big Super Bowl betting line. This might seem surprising considering the Patriots are 18-0 and trying to cap a perfect season but if you look a little deeper you will understand.
The Patriots were the NFL pointspread darling early in the season as they routed opponents winning by over 25 points per game. Things have changed lately though as New England has been a money burner, covering only two of their last 10 games. Many bettors are getting tired of losing money with New England and the Super Bowl betting line is showing this.
Another reason the Super Bowl betting line is falling is that the Giants have been making bettors money. New York is 13-6 ATS on the season and a sparkling 8-2 as an underdog. New York also covered in the regular season against the Patriots, losing only by three points as a 13 point underdog.
Normally the Super Bowl betting line moves toward the favorite and the over as the game approaches, so it will be interesting to see if that happens this year.
As you look at the Super Bowl betting line you might want to consider some other options beyond just the side and total. One interesting thing to look at on the Super Bowl betting line is the MVP odds. You can select who you believe will win the Super Bowl MVP. Obviously Tom Brady of the Patriots has the lowest odds on this Super Bowl betting line wager at odds-on but other players on New England might be worth a look.
Laurence Maroney and Randy Moss are interesting choices at odds of 5-1 or 6-1. It is unlikely the Giants will win the game but if they do a player like Ahmad Bradshaw at 15-1 would be an interesting wager versus the Super Bowl betting line.
