The following was sent to me from the people at BodogLife.com. It's got everything you need to know about betting on the Super Bowl this year. I shared these with everyone before last years Super Bowl and noted how interesting it is that you can vote on so many different things that happen during the game. They're even more interesting now that they're about our team. For example, you can bet on whether or not they will show the replay of Tom Benson celebrating after Garrett Hartley's missed field goal against Tampa Bay during the Super Bowl broadcast.
So to start things off, here is a quote from Bodog Sportsbook Manager Richard Gardner, who gives us a little background on Super Bowl betting so far this year. Odds are after the jump.
"The early Super Bowl line started as low as 4 at some books, but has quickly moved to 6 with the early action coming in on the Indianapolis Colts. Even at 6 more money has continued to back the Colts although we have started to see some sharp money come in on the New Orleans Saints at +6 so it looks like the line will be stable there for the foreseeable future. In addition the Super Bowl total is the highest for a Super Bowl as both offenses have continued to show that they can score during the playoffs. The fact that New Orleans and Indianapolis combined for 61 points last week gives bettors confidence to take the high number especially when you consider one of the defenses was the New York Jets."
