2008 Super Bowl Props

To say the least, sportsbooks enable gamblers to bet on just about anything in the Super Bowl. It's not just the New England Patriots against the New York Giants but there is plenty of side action to lay a wager on as well.

Bookmaker allows sports bettors to pit player against player. Examples of such bets are Brandon Jacobs versus Laurence Maroney in total rushing yards or who will have the longest run.

One can also bet on Plaxico Burress versus Randy Moss, Amani Toomer against Wesley Welker, Steve Smith against Donte Stallworth or Kevin Boss versus Ben Watson in total receiving yards. Check out Bookmaker for their complete list.

NewBodog allows even more exotic options such as which team will get the first touchdown in the fourth quarter or which team will have the most first downs in the final frame. So even if the game is a blowout, bettors have plenty of options left.

BetUs Sportsbook is not to be outdone. One could ante up on alternate spreads such as New England laying just 4.5 if you are willing to lay -250. Want the Giants +28? You can get it if you lay -800 at BetUs.

OffshoreInsiders.com will have proposition play winners on Super Bowl Sunday.

 

Johnny Demarco, 90PercentWinners Has Lowered the Bar

A guy who calls himself John Morrison and who claims to be a Cornell PhD has raised the bar. He claims to have picked 90 percent winners in betting. We stumbled upon him in a Digg search, but now we've been told he's buying advertising time. Even Johnny Demarco couldn't hit 90 percent. The sportsbooks must be shivering.

Wow, with just one game left in a spectacular (even by our standards) football season, we are in the midst of one of the great basketball seasons in our illustrious career. Our CBB record for the season is 121-72, even slightly ahead of last year's pace. Click now to purchase

CBB

FORDHAM +8 NC Charlotte

These two teams are much more evenly matched than the records indicate. This same Fordham team proved it twice. The Rams returned all five starters from a team that finished 18-12, 10-6 last season and were a preseason pick to finish fourth in the 14-team league. They also feature one of the league's best big men, in 6-foot-8 forward Bryant Dunston.

Charlotte (12-6, 3-1) has won both games against Fordham in the 49ers' two seasons in the conference, but both have been down-to-the-wire battles.

Underachieving, the Rams have played well the last two games and Charlotte is hosting them at the wrong time indeed.

FORDHAM +8 NC Charlotte

These two teams are much more evenly matched than the records indicate. This same Fordham team proved it twice. The Rams returned all five starters from a team that finished 18-12, 10-6 last season and were a preseason pick to finish fourth in the 14-team league. They also feature one of the league's best big men, in 6-foot-8 forward Bryant Dunston.

Charlotte (12-6, 3-1) has won both games against Fordham in the 49ers' two seasons in the conference, but both have been down-to-the-wire battles.

Underachieving, the Rams have played well the last two games and Charlotte is hosting them at the wrong time indeed.

DETROIT -7 Orlando

Detroit has dominated Orlando at home winning six straight by a double digit margin. Yes Detroit had been struggling, but they snapped their biggest losing streak of the year with a road win at Philadelphia (and a GodsTips winner). Often quality teams go through the motions in mid-year, but they put it all together in a situation like this.

Orlando is the team that wants to take away Detroit's unofficial title of Beast of the East. Now the Pistons have them at home where they've owned the Magic. We expect that to continue big time.

Betting NFL Bye Weeks

 

When the NY Giants lost to the Dallas Cowboys on October 16, it made them 3-14 SU following bye weeks as compared to 14-3 before the extra week off.  While the Giants discrepancy is more pronounced, this statistic should come as no surprise.

Of all the columns we've ever written, the one about handicapping rested and unrested teams in the NBA was the exposition in which we got the most feedback along the lines of "eye opening" and the like.

The same basic premise applies with NFL bye weeks. While conventional wisdom (handicapping's ultimate oxymoron) would say teams off a bye week are at an advantage against teams that are not, no SU or ATS records support this groupthink.

This is because as the Giants illustrate, teams that are playing well before a bye week will only be taken out of their rhythm, groove and focus during an off week. Teams can't handpick when their bye week occurs.  Sometimes they come at the right time, often they come at the wrong occasion.

Of course the off-week is a good interval for teams to recover from injuries, but good handicappers already take into consideration injuries. To assume teams are healthiest off their bye week, well you know what they say about "assume".

Our pragmatism is bye weeks are bad for teams playing well and good for teams not playing well.

All this of course applies in college football too.  However there are diverse additional factors to consider in college.  First of all, in the NFL Pete Rozelle's legacy lives on.  So-called parity means there are not the huge variances in depth as there was years ago.  Teams lacking depth benefit from the time off but it's a much bigger consideration in collegiate ranks.

However all depth or lack thereof is not equal. For college football our unwritten rule is speedy but smaller teams benefit the most in an off week, because the undersized linemen need the rest the most.

Also as we discussed in our Tid-Bets, Vol. 10 letdown, look-ahead and sandwich games are an even bigger factor in college football and basketball then professional. An off week can counterbalance the various emotional factors more prevalent in college football.

Of course we've also heard clichés about giving this coach and that coach an extra week to prepare. Folks the most successful coaches are those who make in-game adjustments, without using extra time to gameplan. One could probably make a stronger argument that extra time benefits the inferior coaches who need it.

In fact we went Google happy trying to find one statistic or article that showed any significant angle to bye weeks in college and/or pro football.  In short we did not find any credible evidence that robotically assuming bye weeks result in coherent patterns.

Finally our Golden Rule is that the oddsmakers are one step ahead of you.  Knowing that Joey Bagodonuts too often blinding assumes the more rested team is the better play, bye weeks are already factored into the line. All that said bye weeks are overrated in handicapping.  In evaluating such, the educated bettor needs to ask if a team needed a bye week or not. 

True we did a lot of typing to conclude there is little benefit to handicapping bye weeks.  Ah but contraire, exposing myths is every bit as important to sports investing as uncovering certainties. And that's a fact worth buying into.
