Super Bowl 46 Betting Odds
If you like revenge betting, Super Bowl 46 is a game where you can find plenty of handicapping angles between the New York Giants and New England Patriots.
Naturally, it's a rematch of Super Bowl 42 where the Giants pulled the monster upset, defeating the Patriots as 12.5-point underdogs. That loss ruined the Pats' perfect season.
Fast-forward to 2012 and the Giants have used a late run of solid victories to sneak into the big game again, and again they are an underdog (3 points at Bovada Sportsbook to kick off the week).
And again, there is some fresh motivation for New England, who lost at home to these same Giants earlier this season. In fact, the Giants are 3-0 ATS the past 3 meetings with the Pats and they were double-digit dogs each time!
The total opened at a whopping 55 points and the way both QBs fire the ball, that could be eclipsed by halftime.
The trends lately in Super Bowl betting have favored the NFC (5-2 ATS past 7 games) and the UNDER (5-1 past 6).
The Patriots have some injuries to nurse before Super Bowl Sunday in Indianapolis, where Giant QB Eli Manning's big brother Peyton has been hanging out. Rob Gronkowski was banged up and the Pats will need him.
Pro Bowl betting
Before the Super Bowl, there is betting on the Pro Bowl, which traditionally has been a high-scoring affair and a lock to go OVER the total.
Watch for the lines to go up shortly in this battle of the AFC and NFC all-stars.
