Super Bowl XLV

It's drawing ever closer. The Super Bowl is this coming Sunday and I can't wait. This should be an awesome game. The Packers and Steelers are nearly even in this matchup, and Las Vegas sports books agree. Last I saw the Packers were favored by 2.5-3 points depending on where you went. Personally, I'm picking the Steelers in this one. One thing they have that the Packers don't is experience, by far. Most players for the Steelers have at least one, if not two Super Bowl rings. The packers do have some players with Super Bowl experience, but nothing like the Steelers. My money goes to the Steelers.

The prop bet which interests me the most in this game is the over/under on sacks. The Steelers and Packers were ranked one and two in sacks for the regular season. The Steelers having 48, and the Packers having 47. The over/under from bodog.com is 5. Then broken down further by team is 2.5 by the Steelers, and 3 by the Packers. I find this last break down odd. I would expect the Steelers to have more sacks than the Packers on Sunday, although it will be close. As for this prop bet, I would pick the over, and without a doubt the over on the Steelers on their own.

Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL!?!

I've been waiting for this day all week and it's finally here! Now the big question is, who's going to win? I'm no analytical football expert or anything of the sort, but I would still bet on the games if I were old enough.  The local Las Vegas paper this morning had the point spread at 3 1/2 for each game, favoring the Packers and Steelers. Personally I want the Packers to win, and I believe they will. As far as the Steelers vs. Jets game goes, I don't really have one team I like more than the other. But, if I had to bet on the game I would probably bet on the Jets to win. They are the underdog but they have a very good chance at winning. Only time will tell. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think will happen today.
