New York Giants versus New England Patriots Super Bowl Point Spread Over Under Money Line Betting Odds Pick Preview

admin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:50:03 +0000

Super Bowl 46 will be played out on February 5th between the New York Giants (14-9) and the New England Patriots (17-5), and bettors are already choosing their favorite wagers.

The game will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Patriots are currently 3-point favorites with a total of 55.5 in Las Vegas.

New York has gone 8-4 on the road this year, while the Patriots have also been strong with a 7-3 record.

Super Bowl 46 will be a rematch of Super Bowl 42 in which the Giants won 17-14 as 12.5-point underdogs to squad the Patriots’ hopes of a perfect season.

The Giants have won the 2 most recent games played between these squads, and they’ve been large underdogs in both clashes.

The under has been a winner in 4 of the 5 games played between these teams since 1999, while the Giants have covered the odds in 4 of those 5.

The Giants head into the big game on the heels of a 5-game winning streak that includes victories over the New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, and San Francisco 49ers.

New York has covered the odds in every single victory despite being the underdog 3 times during that span.

A big reason for their turnaround has been the play of their defense, and the Giants have gone under the total in 5 of their last 6 games.

New England has now won 10 straight games since losing to the Giants earlier this year, but they’ve only covered the odds in 3 of their last 7 games.

The Patriots went under the total in their 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, and it broke a streak of 7 consecutive games they’ve played in going over.

New York Giants versus San Francisco 49ers Point Spread Over Under Money Line Betting Odds Pick Preview

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:10:34 +0000

The New York Giants (11-7) and the San Francisco 49ers (14-3) will meet up in the NFC Championship game this year, and this game is actually a rematch of an earlier season clash.

The 49ers were 27-20 winners as 4-point home favorites in that game despite being outgained by 90 yards, and San Francisco will host the Giants once again on Sunday night. Kickoff is set for 6:30 PM ET and the matchup will be shown live on FOX.

San Francisco opened up as a 3-point favorite in this rematch, but they have been bet down to -2.5 at most sportsbooks currently.

The total has also shifted in the hours after it debuted at 44.5 and currently the line sits at either 43 or 42.5 depending on where to bet.

Although the Giants have been a nice bet this season with a 10-7-1 record against the odds, there isn’t a team in football that can touch the 49ers’ 14-3 mark against the point spread.

The home team has won 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings between these teams, but the 49ers’ win earlier this season marked the only time they covered the odds during those games.

The over has been a winner in 2 of the last 3 played between these teams, and the favorite has now covered the spread in 4 straight.

New York is playing great football after a slow start, and their defense is amongst the best in the NFL currently.

New York has won 5 of their last 6 games while covering the spread in 6 of 7.

The 49ers are on a 4-game winning streak of their own and have covered the odds in all but 1 of those games. San Francisco has gone over the total in 2 straight and 3 of their last 5.

Baltimore Ravens versus New England Patriots Point Spread Over Under Money Line Betting Odds Pick Preview

admin — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:15:03 +0000

The AFC Championship Game this year will feature the Baltimore Ravens (13-4) going into Foxboro to take on the top-seeded New England Patriots (14-3).

The Patriots were 23-20 home winners in overtime the last time these two teams meet up in 2010, while the Ravens were 33-14 winners on the road against the Patriots in the playoffs the previous season.

The over has been a winner in 3 of the last 4 head-to-head meetings, while the Patriots have covered the point spread in just 1 of those 4 games despite winning outright in 3.

New England is a 7.5-point favorite for Sunday’s 3:00 PM ET game, while the total sits fairly high at 50.5.

The line on the total had to be high considering these two teams have combined to go over in 22 of their 34 combined games this year.

Baltimore will put their 4-4 road record on the line against a Patriots squad that has gone 8-1 when playing in New England this season.

Baltimore enters the AFC Championship on a 3-game winning streak that includes a 20-13 home win over the Houston Texans in the NFL Playoffs.

Despite being a successful team lately, the Ravens have covered the point spread in just 1 of their last 5 games while going under the total in 5 of their last 7.

The Patriots have reeled off 9 consecutive victories since losing 20-24 at home against the New York Giants back in early November, and they’ve covered the odds in 6 of those games while going over the total all but once.

New England had no problem at all dispatching of the Denver Broncos in their first playoff game this year, and the 45-10 final score could have been an even larger deficit if the Patriots didn’t call off the dogs after halftime.

Denver Broncos versus New England Patriots Point Spread Over Under Money Line Betting Odds Preview

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:23:10 +0000

The Denver Broncos (9-8) will try to keep their seemingly impossible Super Bowl dreams alive on Saturday as they head into New England to take on the Patriots (13-3).

Kickoff is slated for 8:00 PM ET and the home-team Patriots are huge favorites with a point spread set at -14. The total is at 50.5 and has been bet down from an opener of 51.5.

This game will be a rematch from an earlier season meeting in which the Patriots went into Denver and dominated the Broncos 41-23 as 7-point road favorites.

Denver had won 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings before that point, but the Patriots were 41-7 in 2008 in the last clash between these teams played in New England.

Although the over hit earlier this year, it was the first time in 5 games that the total went in that direction.

The Broncos had lost 3 straight games before pulling off a shocker against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the playoffs.

Denver finally figured out that the key to moving the ball was to stretch the defense with the deep ball, but it is tough to tell whether or not Tebow will find the same type of accuracy he displayed last weekend.

Tebow and the Broncos will have to hit on quite a few deep balls to keep pace here with the Patriots averaging 39.0 points per game over their last 3.

New England has won 9 straight currently, but they’ve also played some close games as huge favorites.

One thing that seems safe to count on from the Patriots is that their games will be high scoring; 6 straight New England games have gone over the total, including when they combined with the Buffalo Bills to score 70 last time out.

Houston Texans versus Baltimore Ravens Point Spread Over Under Money Line Betting Odds Preview

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:41:49 +0000

The first NFL Playoff game is Sunday’s 1:00 PM ET clash between the Houston Texans (11-6) and the Baltimore Ravens (12-4).

The Ravens will be at home for this one, and they are 8-0 in Baltimore this year while the Texans are 5-3 away from Houston.

Baltimore started off as a 7.5-point betting favorite but has been bet up to -9 despite bet-tracking websites showing that the visiting Texans are actually getting close to 65% of the action on the point spread.

The total has also shifted quite a bit in the past few days and currently sits at 35.5 after debuting higher at 38.

Houston has won outright in only 1 of their last 4 games, and they’ve covered the point spread in that victory only during the rough stretch.

That being said, the Texans have been one of the best bets in the NFL this year and have a 10-5-2 record against the point spread.

The over has been a winner in 2 straight games for the Texans, although the under has won in 10 of their 17 games on the year.

Baltimore has won 6 of their last 7 games but, like Houston, has covered the odds in just 1 of their 4 most recent.

The under has hit in 4 of the last 6 games for the Ravens, but the over was the winning bet in 10 of their 16 clashes this season.

The Ravens have won all 5 head-to-head meetings with the Texans since the 2002 season, including a 29-14 win at home earlier this season as 7-point favorites.

Baltimore has covered the point spread in 4 of those 5 games, and the over has been a winner in 3.

Houston was at home for 3 of those losses, but almost pulled the upset in a 15-16 loss in Baltimore back in 2005.

New York Giants versus Green Bay Packers Point Spread Over Under Money Line Betting Odds Preview

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:38:37 +0000

The New York Giants (10-7) will try to pull a huge upset on Sunday as they head into Lambeau Field to take on the defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers (15-1).

The Packers are 8-0 at home this season, but it is worth noting that the Giants’ 5-3 road record is actually better than the 5-4 mark they’ve amassed in New York.

These two teams met up earlier this season when the Packers won a hard fought 38-35 road game as 7-point favorites in New York.

The Giants could have easily taken home the win, and the Packers only outgained the underdogs by 2 total yards.

The Packers have won 3 of the 4 head-to-head meetings since 2007, but the Giants have covered the point spread in half of those games while winning 23-20 in Green Bay as 7.5-point underdogs in 2008.

The odds for Sunday’s 4:30 PM ET playoff showdown have the Packers as 8-point favorites, having been bet down from an opener of -9 thanks to a large percentage of tracked wagers coming in on New York.

The total of 52.5 has been bet up from 51, partly thanks to the fact that the Packers have gone over the line in 11 of their 16 games this year.

New York has won 3 straight games heading into this playoff tussle, and they’ve now covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 overall.

The Giants were hindered badly by defensive injuries for much of the season but have turned it on lately with 4 straight games going under the total.

Green Bay has covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 while going over the total in 4 of 5.

The Packers have, however, lost outright or won by 4 or less in 3 of their last 5 games heading into Sunday’s clash with the Giants.

New Orleans Saints versus San Francisco 49ers Point Spread Over Under Money Line Betting Odds Preview

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:35:49 +0000

The first NFL Playoff game on Saturday’s schedule will be a 4:30 PM ET showdown between the New Orleans Saints (14-3) and the San Francisco 49ers (13-3).

These squads have been two of the best in the NFL this season at covering the point spread, and the Saints’ 13-4 mark against the odds is nearly as dominant as the 49ers’ 13-3.

San Francisco will be the home team for this FOX-televised game, but that didn’t stop the NFL odds makers from installing them as a 3.5-point underdog against the Saints.

New Orleans is garnering close to 60% of tracked wagers on the spread, and this one could move up to 4 before kickoff.

The total is at 47.5 and has been bet up half a point in the days since the line came out.

New Orleans has won all 6 head-to-head meetings against the 49ers since 2002, including most recently in 2010 when the Saints won 25-22 in San Francisco as 4.5-point favorites.

The Saints have managed to cover the point spread in 4 of those 6 clashes, and just 1 of those games went under the total.

Despite winning that 2010 game, the Saints were actually outgained by 130 total yards.

San Francisco has won outright in 3 straight games and they are 7-1 at home in a stadium that has proven tough for visitors to do well in.

The Saints are undefeated in New Orleans this season, but they’ve shown plenty of weaknesses when having to travel and will sport a 5-3 road record on Saturday.

The Saints have now won 9 straight games and they’ve covered the point spread in every single victory.

That being said, only 3 of those wins were on the road, and they struggled badly against the two legitimate playoff teams they traveled to play (Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons).

Atlanta Falcons versus New York Giants Point Spread Over Under Money Line Betting Odds Preview

admin — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:20:13 +0000

The first of Sunday’s 2 playoff games will be a hotly contested matchup between the Atlanta Falcons (10-6) and the New York Giants (9-7).

The game will be shown on FOX, and kickoff is slated for 1:00 PM ET.

The road team has covered the point spread in the last 8 head-to-head meetings between Atlanta and New York, and it will be the Falcons who have the “honor” of going on the road here.

The Giants most recently won 34-31 in overtime in the 2009 season, but the road team had won outright in 2007, 2006, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2000, and 1998 in this series.

The over was a winner in the most recent matchup, but the under had been a winner in 6 straight games between the Falcons and the Giants before that.

New York is a 3-point favorite with a total of 47 here, but those looking to take the under can still find 47.5 at certain sportsbooks.

Under bettors likely missed the best possible line, however, because the total actually opened up at 49 before quickly being moved down by early action.

The point spread has seen minimal action and bet-tracking websites show that there is a 50-50 split amongst wagers on the 3-point line.

The Falcons have won 3 of their last 4 but are just .500 on the road this season.

Their most recent game where they had to travel has a humiliating 16-45 loss against the New Orleans Saints, and Atlanta has gone over the total in their last 4 games heading into this playoff tilt.

Pittsburgh Steelers versus Denver Broncos Point Spread Over Under Money Line Betting Odds Preview

admin — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:17:07 +0000

It will be interesting to see if Tim Tebow and his Denver Broncos (8-8) can get by the Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) in Sunday’s NFL Playoff game.

Denver is at home but is on a 3-game losing streak, and Tebow has been horrible during the losses.

Pittsburgh has been winning despite a multitude of injuries, but they’ve also been facing some less-than-stellar opposition in their recent victories.

Denver is actually only 3-5 at home this season, and they’ll be playing host to the visiting Steelers in Sunday’s 4:30 PM ET game.

This one will be shown live on CBS and it is the visiting Steelers who are favored by 9 on the point spread after opening up at -8 earlier in the week.

The total has also moved a bit and currently sits at 34.5 after being as high as 35.5 just days ago.

Pittsburgh leads the Broncos in points scored per game and total yardage on offense, but the two teams are fairly close on this side of the ball.

The Steelers have more of a passing attack, while Denver’s running game is superior – especially after Pittsburgh lost running back Rashard Mendenhall to a torn ACL in their week 17 game against the Cleveland Browns.

There isn’t much of a contest defensively as the Steelers lead the Broncos in just about every important category.

Pittsburgh has gone under the total in 6 straight games heading into this AFC playoff showdown, while Denver has also gone under in 5 of their last 8.

The Broncos haven’t covered a point spread in 4 straight games, while the Steelers have won money for their backers in just 1 of their previous 4 despite winning outright in 3 of those contests.

Detroit Lions versus New Orleans Saints Point Spread Over Under Money Line Betting Odds Preview

Saturday’s 8:00 PM ET game between the Detroit Lions (10-6) and the New Orleans Saints (13-3) will be shown live on NBC, and the NFL odds makers definitely have an opinion the team that should win easily.

The home-team Saints are currently favored by 11 and have been bet up after opening at -10 despite close to 60% of tracked bettors going with the Lions.

The total started off at 58 but has been bet up as high as 59, although you can still find the line at 58.5 if you prefer the over.

These two teams met up earlier this season and it was the Saints winning 31-17 as 9-point home favorites.

The Saints also won 45-27 at home as 14-point favorites in 2009, and have won all 3 games against the Lions since 2008 while covering the point spread in every single contest.

Despite the Saints scoring an average of 39.3 points in those 3 games, 2 of them have actually gone under the total.

Detroit has covered the point spread in just 1 of their last 6 games but had won outright in 3 straight before losing 41-45 against the backups of the Green Bay Packers last time out.

The Lions have been a solid 5-3 on the road this year and have now gone over the total in 3 of their last 4 games.

New Orleans is on a 9-game winning streak and the Saints have covered the point spread in every single contest.

With a statistic like that on their side, it is interesting that the majority of NFL bettors are still going with Detroit in this playoff game.

The Saints have gone over the total in 3 straight games and are a perfect 8-0 when playing in New Orleans this season.
