The early Super Bowl action currently has been big time on the Colts, as we opened this at Indy -3.5 but it has moved to 6 as of this writing. For what it’s worth, four of the past six Super Bowls have been decided by four points or less. So that bodes well for the Saints backers. However, the past three teams making their Super Bowl debut have lost the big game (Cardinals, Seahawks, Panthers). Our total is currently at 56.5, and I expect that to rise with casual bettors expecting a shootout between Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. No Super Bowl total has exceeded that 56.5 number since XXXVIII when the Patriots beat the Panthers 32-29.
We have a few Super Bowl props currently posted at
Bodog Sportsbook, but the majority of them will be released on Thursday. And of course we will have a few Pro Bowl props up as well, although we don’t expect much action on a game that is seeing top players bail on it left and right. Remember, too, that no Saints or Colts can play in the Pro Bowl because this year it is the week before the Super Bowl.
