Super Bowl Discussion

The past few years, the only big underlying philosophy I've picked up on betting super bowls is to not dwell on who the better team has been all year in terms of vegas power rankings etc, look to be on the team that wasn't that sustainably good all year and managed to get hot at the end. For whatever reason, this has been the way its gone in recent years. Giants cover against 18-0 pats, Cards cover against Steelers, Packers cover against Steelers, Giants cover against Pats. For the most part, all of those teams were the teams that on paper were the worse team over the course of the season, but got healthy or "hot" at the end." I know SF is more talented, is phenomenally well coached, but that ideology I mentioned is gonna reign supreme for me betting super bowls for the foreseeable future until it loses me 3 of 4, 4 of 6 years, etc. Picked up on this 2 years ago with the Packers and stuck with it with the Giants as well, see no reason to diverge from the plan this year with Baltimore.
 
Some good stuff from John Clayton....

What will the Ravens' defense have to figure out over the next two weeks to prepare for Kaepernick? Few defenses have successfully figured out how to stop the read option. For the final three quarters, the Falcons were at a complete loss responding to Kaepernick's read-option fakes. Kaepernick ran the ball only twice, and his only run for positive yardage, a 23-yarder, was just a pure scramble. Nevertheless, the Falcons were vulnerable to the rest of the 49ers running the ball. Kaepernick said the Falcons concentrated on stopping the outside runs, hoping to contain him from running wide like he did while rushing for 181 yards against the Green Bay Packers last week. The 49ers expected one Falcons defender to spy him. What Kaepernick did was fake the run and then hand off to Frank Gore. The middle of the field was open. "I knew all week they were talking about preventing Kaep from getting outside," Gore said. "I knew going in I was going to have a great chance to make plays." Gore rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries. It seems as though the Falcons' defense parted in the middle because it was worried about Kaepernick's running ability. According to ESPN Stats & Information, the 49ers used the read option 13 times Sunday. Backs averaged 5.2 yards and scored three touchdowns on those plays. The Ravens had only one game against a read-option quarterback in 2012. They lost to the Redskins 31-28 in overtime in Week 14. They may be suited to stop the read option because they run a 3-4, but it won't be easy.
How do you put the 49ers in perspective heading into this Super Bowl? They are old school. Jim Harbaugh entered coaching with a quarterback background, but he has the old-school approach to the game. Credit that to training from former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler. Though he has worked with Andrew Luck in college and Alex Smith and Kaepernick in the pros, Harbaugh uses the old-school approach of running the football and not spreading the field with wide receivers. During the regular season, the 49ers used three-receiver sets only 13.2 plays a game, lowest in the league. He has used two- and three-tight end sets. He did the same at Stanford when everyone else was using four- and five-receiver sets. "We believe in running the football," Justin Smith said. "If you are good running the ball and stopping the run, you are going to do well." Of late, though, teams have shifted more to passing. The Patriots (who ran the ball 40.5 percent of the time) and New York Giants (40 percent) met last year in the Super Bowl and weren't good running teams. The Packers won Super Bowl XLV with a team that ran the ball 42.1 percent of the time. The Saints won the year before that running 45.3 percent of the time. The 49ers are old school. They rushed 50.8 percent of the time in 2012. Their defense stays away from a lot of situational substitution, working mostly with a group of 13 defenders. They'll substitute a cornerback for a nose tackle when teams go to three receivers, but that's just about it. Old school.

What's the injury situation for both teams? The 49ers are completely healthy. Justin Smith, playing with a partially torn triceps muscle, started slowly in the first quarter Sunday but got stronger and finished the game playing well. Cornerback Tarell Brown (shoulder), linebacker Aldon Smith (shoulder) and fullback Bruce Miller (shoulder) were on last week's injury report, but they all played and didn't suffer any setbacks. The Ravens are in good shape, too. Cornerback Asa Jackson missed the game with a thigh injury. Halfback Bernard Pierce (knee), fullback Vonta Leach (knee, ankle), wide receiver David Reed (thigh) and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (ankle) were listed as questionable but all played.

How should having Jerome Boger as the referee affect the game? It could lead to a lower scoring Super Bowl. Games handled by Boger's crew this season averaged 41.3 points, 4.4 fewer than the league average and the second-lowest in football. The league assembles an all-star crew of officials for the Super Bowl, so some of the trends won't completely hold up. Still, Boger tends to be involved with a few more holding calls than most other officials. His 35 holding penalties were eighth most among the 17 crews of officials.

I agree with this philosophy 100%, but this is a unique case where both teams kind of fit that description. SF was good all year, but now they are riding the Kapernick/high power offense wave that was not their m.o. until recently.


And I really hate seeing that you love the under that much detroit187, i was leaning towards the over.

Honestly I don't think I can plan an under in an NFL game anymore. Over or no play for me in NFL games, and this one I was leaning over
 
not goin to

will have a Balty bet but you know what i mean

I know...Early $ came in on SF at -3 @ ATL and I believe there was a buy back at 5/4.5. Early money came in on Balt too. Early $ generally means wise guy $. I'm hoping it continues to move down in the next couple of weeks as I have +4.5. I could buy it back at -2.5 and take a nice middle shot. I am also holding a $45, 22-1 Balty future.
 
First quarter under should be good.... both teams are going to nervous wrecks to start the game and wont be able to get it going imo


is CTG going to be doing a Squares contest????

Las Vegas oddsmakers are optimistic this year's Super Bowl on Feb. 3 in New Orleans could surpass the all-time record for most action, set at $94.5 million for the 2006 game.


"It's a monster matchup, brother versus brother," William Hill oddsmaker Jimmy Vaccaro told the Huffington Post. "I believe it will top last year's Super Bowl handle and could go higher."


You'll hear so much about head coaches Jim and John Harbaugh over the next two weeks you might forget it's the players who actually play the game. That storyline could help draw action from some of the most novice bettors who wouldn't even normally wager on the Super Bowl.


Pete Korner from Nevada oddsmaking service The Sports Club also told Covers this week he expects a flood of money to come into Nevada sportsbooks because of the proximity of San Francisco. That's why he set the Niners at -5 over the Baltimore Ravens, though most books opened San Francisco at -4.5.


Most of the early money is coming in on the Ravens so far and most books have dropped their lines a half-point from their opening numbers. But Korner feels San Francisco money that comes in later could push this spread as high as -6 before the line stops moving.


One other reason we could see record Super Bowl action is the improved economy. The handle for the four games from 2005 to 2008 was over $90 million each year and then the numbers took a nose dive in 2009 after the crash of 2008. The numbers have increased the past two years, coinciding with some economic growth across North America.


For those who have been to Las Vegas recently, it's obvious the city is getting its groove back compared to where it was in 2009 and 2010. The Strip has returned to life with the heavy foot traffic we were more accustomed to seeing in the mid-2000s with busting hotels and restaurants everywhere you go.


Below is a look at the numbers going back to 2001 in terms of total action and hold (win percentage from the books) via the Gaming Control Board.


Baltimore's only Super Bowl appearance was in 2001, which was one of the most profitable Super Bowls for sportsbooks over the past 12 seasons. The Ravens were favored by three points in their 34-7 win over the Giants.


Nevada saw $93.9 million on last year's Super Bowl and earned a healthy take of over $5 million.


SPORTSBOOK PERFOMANCE FOR THE PAST 12 SUPER BOWLS
 
As soon as the ravens game ended on
sunday, my friend texted me and said "I actually wanna gamble on the game haha"

this is someone that thinks betting on sports is a lost cause....
 
Comment from the article..It would take a lot of money to push the number to -6 (JMO)
 
Over these last 14 Super Bowls, there have been an average of only 5.6 ppg scored in the first quarter, so touchdowns have been rare.
 
Im thinking of taking Balty +160 and CK to win the SB MVP at +150.

I really can't see SF winning w/o Colin getting MVP
 
Already posted SF to win SB 500-950
Bet Balty +4 1000

Hope SF wins by 3 or less.
GLTA.

Balts D has been stellar lately, especially in 2nd half of these playoffs.

Indy did nothing offensively


Denver scored what 21 non special teams points in 5QTRs? Peyton was worthless after 3QTRs in that game

NE yes NE who scores 30 at will scored 13..




Also look at what their defense has done in the 2nd half of these games, after adjustements were made.. They have been dominate. NE didn't score, Den scored one TD in 3rd, 4th and OT's, Indy didn't score.

I'm not seeing or hearing much support for the Niners in my circles, everyone seems to be thinking Baltimore because they're hot. Kind of odd to forget about the favorite. Kind of has me leaning San Fran.
 
According to Sports Illustrated, Ray Lewis contacted the sports science company S.W.A.T.S. in October to help with recovery from his torn triceps.

The owner of the company, Mitch Ross, allegedly recorded conversations between himself and Lewis. A program that included a deer-antler spray that includes IGF-1, which is on the NFL's banned-substance list, was prescribed. "Just pile me up and just send me everything you got, because I got to get back this week," Lewis said. There figures to be an investigation, but it won't wrap up until after Sunday's Super Bowl. At that point, Lewis will be retired.

The most famous girlfriend in football is front and center at Superbowl media day – A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend Katherine Webb is making the rounds at Superbowl Media day in New Orleans. It’s really amazing how Katherine Webb parlayed Brent Musburger’s lusting into a paying gig with Inside Edition

True. But to be quite frank, it doesnt matter in the superbowl.

Every thread over at blankets is a ravens winner thread. That is not usually a good sign if you are a ravens backer. I'm not sure i get it personally. The niners have had the better playoff wins as well IMO.
 
Is Ray Lewis gonna get a pass on him using a banned substance ?

The fact that the Ravens and Ray keep mentioning he has never failed a test instead of denying the story outright is pretty telling.

Also love the fact that nobody is mentioning Ray's inflated tackle totals...45 this postseason my ass.
 
Dan Patrick keeps saying that he and ESPN already have a wink-wink deal to cover NFL or them in the future, so will be interesting to see how they cover this story.

Packers D was giving up 5.1 yards per carry and Atlantas defense was at 4.8. Niners sliced these teams up with the running game. Ravens beat Luck, Manning and Brady. I would argue with who has had the better playoff run. GL
 
I am not qualified to cap or discuss the NFL. With that said, I think the Niners win going away and it could be high scoring.

and the ravens played two on the road...
 
Beating Luck and Manning is meaningless. One was a rookie and the other past his prime.

I think LaMicheal James makes an impact on Sunday.
 
Initially I was on the Ravens and had a writeup here. I bought the whole team of destiny and the HOT team thing with the ravens--I was thinking Ravens will win this game-

However after seeing the common bettor all over the Ravens I have switched my position and feel the 49'ers will win the superbowl and I would say they will win by 7+ points and the possibility of a Double Digit Win is there for 49'ers.
 
Ask any Current Ravens backer if before the Ravens played Denver if they were that HIGH on the RAVENS then? So the Ravens win 2 games on the ROAD and they are basically the new CHAMPIONS? NOt so fast my friends-- lets take a realistic look at their playoff wins---

Beating Denver to me is no big accomplishment- Peyton Manning always loses in the playoffs- Mark Sanchez has beaten PEYTON MANNING in the playoffs- Manning has a very bad PLAYOFF record- Beating PEYTON MANNING in the playoffs is very easy thing to do ---
Denver won 11 in a row- The combined record of those teams were 32-64- They played Kc, Oakland, Carolina, Sandiego and a bunch of losing teams -- Peyton put his usual regular season numbers up and then choked in playoffs again--

Add in the fact that it was -20 degrees with a QB whose arm was completely SHOT- I mean he had no ZIP on any passes and used his smarts and the fact that he was playing vs the leagues worst QBS week in week out---

Denver played 2 good teams on the road this season- ATLANTA and NEW ENGLAND- Both games DENVER was not competitive- They lost both games handily--

The Denver D played vs no ELITE QBS and when they did they LOST-- SO in reality Baltimore is a better team than DENVER--
