Updated Super Bowl & Conference Odds

These wagering odds come courtesy of the gambling site, Bovada. Below are updated Super Bowl and conference odds as well as exact Super Bowl matchups. Also there’s a quote from Bovada Sportsbook Manager Kevin Bradley on how Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos win was beneficial to the sports book.

"Setting a line on the Denver Broncos since Tim Tebow has been starting has been tricky every week, not necessarily setting the actual line but knowing how to adjust once the action starts coming in. The last time the Broncos played New England 90% of the money was on the Pats on the road and at -13.5 will be interesting to see if the public will lay all those points at the same rate. But, Tebow was good to us yesterday with 63% of the money on PIT -8 and I would expect we will be Tebow fans again next week on the spread. However, the Broncos are our second biggest loser on Super Bowl futures behind the Giants, so it will be tough for me to watch this one."

Hard to argue the lines

I’ll take 7 to 1,considering the other squads ahead of us,
All three front runners have won the SB and have excellent qb’s.
But beware of the mighty Tebow at 40-1.. That would be worth a twenty!

I've never understood why they have odds where you'd lose money if you bet on them

Defeats the purpose of betting….

I imagine it's to get people to stop betting on them.

Don’t the odds react to how people are betting?

I'm pretty sure you never lose money on a correct bet

Now, I’m not a betting man, so if someone knows better, don’t let me spread false information. However, as I’ve been led to believe, a line of 5/6 like on the Packers above should indicate that a 6 dollar bet wins you 5 dollars… so for your 6 dollar wager, you’d receive back 11 (your original 6 bucks plus the 5 bucks in winnings).

Patriots are overrated!

Look at who they played in the second half of the season.

They MAY beat Denver but the Ravens will expose their weak D. Rice will “run wild” and it’ll be fun to watch….smile

I tend to agree.

Patriots are way overrated...

If they beat Denver, the winner of the Baltimore-Houston game will be in the Super Bowl. The Patriots aren’t as good as their record dictates. Their secondary is incredibly suspect. Their offense is tremendous, but a very talented defense could keep them to 17-20 points. If you have a good enough offense with a decent passing game, a team will score 20+ points on them. They’re really not that great…

I've got nothin'...

Couldn’t have said it any better myself. They swaggered into the playoffs last season with the best record in the league. The Jets orchestrated the perfect game plan and knocked them out in their very 1st game. The Patriots have lost to the Steelers and the Giants this season. Just like you said, they struggle mightily against STOUT DEFENSES!…“Well put” my man…smile
