Super Bowl XLIII Betting
Written January 22, 2009 by Jack Jones
If you love NFL betting as much as we do, then you know that the most important do of the year is a little over a week away. If you haven’t done much sports betting in the past, then now would be a great time to start as the Super Bowl is the biggest event of the year. A lot of people will bet for the first and only time of the 2008-09 season just on this game. Even if they don’t know what they are doing, they want to get in on the fun. This might be a great time for you to pick up a package of Super Bowl picks from our expert handicappers so you can both win your bets and have fun in the process.
The first thing that you need to know are the Super Bowl XLIII Odds. Bodog Sportsbook has opened up the Steelers are 7-point favorites (read our Bodog Sportsbook review to find out why we like this place for football betting) and if you want the latest NFL odds then check out our live feed. The total on the game is set at 47.
The early Super Bowl line movements are important to note. Most of the sharper handicappers like to get their action in early and they want to get their team at the best price that they can. Since the early smart action seems to be on Arizona +7 you might want to get your bets in now rather than later in case of a half point line move leaving you with +6.5.
You have to figure that the general public is going to be all over the Steelers in this one. First off the Steelers are one of the more popular teams in the league. The other trend favoring a lot of square action on Pittsburgh is that the public tends to lean towards the favorites. Square money comes in closer to game time, so closer to game day it’s possible this line gets even higher. I think you can see -6.5 at some point early next week but then the Super Bowl odds will go up closer to kickoff.
The Super Bowl is a time for handicappers to pay more attention to what the general public is thinking. It is such a huge event that even people who don’t throw down on the game will be laying some hard earned money on the table for this one. If you know which way the square action is leaning then you can normally go against them and cash in big. Of course last year both the sharps and the squares were on the New York Giants as they pulled off the upset of the New England Patriots.
