NFL Odds: Champions Collide Under Super Bowl Spotlight

If you haven’t set in your Super Bowl bets yet, there’s still time.
The point spread is small because this year, two formidable teams are
battling it out for the prestigious title. Both the New England Patriots
and the Seattle Seahawks have won big before, and now it’s time to see
which will add another trophy to their shelf.

The Patriots are early 2-point favorites. They have a 9-7 record against
the spread this season whereas the Seahawks have a slightly better 10-6
record ATS. Both teams have matching 12-4 records straight up.



When the Patriots and Seahawks last squared off in 2012, the latter took
home the victory. If the 24-23 score from that game is to serve as a
jump-off point for this matchup, the established point spread seems
about right.



If the Patriots are to eke out the victory on Super Bowl Sunday, they’ll
need their franchise player to play like the MVP favorite he’s listed
as in the sportsbook. Brady leads all MVP betting options with 8/5 odds,
and Wilson and Marshawn Lynch trail with 7/2 and 4/1 odds respectively.
The game total is 48.5 with even moneylines for the over and under as
we go to press.

NFL Odds: Champions Collide Under Super Bowl Spotlight

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Super Bowl XLIX

New England Patriots at Seattle Seahawks – Sunday, Feb. 1


BAS’ Current Line: Patriots are a 1 1/2-point favorite and the total has settled at 47 1/2.


The NFL will wrap-up another exciting season of football on Feb. 1
when the AFC Champion New England Patriots square-off against the
defending Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX in
Phoenix, Arizona.


BetAnySports
has opened the Patriots as slight one-point underdogs and the NFL
betting odds for the total in this matchup have been set at 48.5. New
England left little doubt that it deserved to be the favorite to win the
AFC this season in a 45-7 rout against Indianapolis in this past
Sunday’s conference title game. It closed as a seven-point home favorite
in that game and the total stayed just UNDER the closing 52.5-point
line. The Patriots snapped a three-game slide against the spread and the
total has stayed UNDER in three of their last four games.


Tom Brady added another gem to his future “Hall of Fame” resume in
the game against the Colts. He completed 65.7 percent of his 35 attempts
for 226 yards and three touchdown throws. His favorite target was
Julius Edelman with nine catches for 98 yards. The biggest plus in that
romp was LeGarrette Blount in the running game. He carried the ball 30
times for 148 yards and three scores.


The Seahawks did everything in their power to lose to Green Bay in
the NFC Championship, but in the end they made just enough plays to
escape with a 28-22 overtime victory as 8.5-point favorites at home on BetAnySports’ closing line.
They are now 8-0 SU in their last eight games with a 6-1-1 record ATS.
The total went OVER the closing 45-point line against the Packers and it
has now gone OVER in three of their last four games.


Seattle turned the ball over five times in that game including four
interceptions by quarterback Russell Wilson. The third-year vet still
found a way to overcome one of his worst games as a pro with a timely
35-yard scoring strike to Jermaine Kearse a little more than three
minutes into overtime. This was the first time that the Seahawks’
vaunted defense allowed more than 17 points in its last eight games.


New England brings a SU two-game losing streak in the Super Bowl into
this season’s matchup and it is a costly 1-5-1 ATS in a total of seven
Super Bowl appearances in franchise history, but I do not see the
Patriots being denied again against Seattle. Brady continues to play at a
very high level and there is no way that head coach Bill Belichick lets
another NFL title slip through his team’s hands.

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Super Bowl XLIX

College Basketball Odds: Jayhawks-Longhorns in Big 12 Battle

If you’re looking for a combination of great basketball and solid
betting value, the Big 12 is where it’s at. There are seven Big 12 teams
in the Top 25 of Ken Pomeroy’s efficiency-based rankings. All seven
have profitable records against the spread, including the Kansas
Jayhawks (15-3 SU, 11-6 ATS) and the Texas Longhorns (14-4 SU, 10-6
ATS), who meet this Saturday at the Frank Erwin Center.

In theory, Texas is carrying most of the betting value into Saturday’s
contest (2:00 PM ET, CBS). The Longhorns are No. 17 on the AP Top 25,
but No. 12 on the Pomeroy charts. The situation is reversed for the
Jayhawks; the writers prefer them at No. 11, but Pomeroy’s statistics
are less impressed at No. 17.



Although the ‘Horns may be undervalued in this situation, they’re 5-3 SU
and 3-5 ATS in their last eight games, while the ‘Hawks are on an
impressive 6-1 SU and ATS run. However, Texas is also 3-2 SU and ATS
since the return of sophomore guard Isaiah Taylor (16.5 PER) from a
broken left wrist, including back-to-back victories over West Virginia
(+3 away) and TCU (+2.5 at home).

Super Bowl XLIX MVP Betting Lines

“Sunday was not ideal with both the Packers and Patriots covering the
spread, but we cannot complain as this Super Bowl matchup is ideal for
us from a futures perspective. We opened the line essentially at a
pick’em but we’re seeing a ton of Patriots money which has moved the
Pats to a 1 point favorite. It’s not surprising as their blowout against
Indy is fresh in people’s minds and the Seahawks turnover show did not
seem to impress anyone. Looks like we will be big Seahawks fans once
again this year.”

NHL Odds: Cup-Favoured Chicago Visits Penguins

Seven different teams have won the Stanley Cup in the nine years
since the 2004-2005 NHL lockout. We’ll see two of those teams in action
Wednesday night (8:00 PM ET, NBCSN) when the Chicago Blackhawks visit
the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Blackhawks won in 2010 and 2013 to end
nearly 50 years of frustration, and the Penguins claimed the Cup in
2009.

Chicago (28-15-1-1 going into Tuesday’s action) happens to be this
year’s Stanley Cup favourite at 11/2 in the NHL futures market. But
despite owning one of the league’s best goal differentials at plus-0.67,
the Hawks are in minus territory on the puck line at 16-29 ATS, causing
5.84 units in losses. Pittsburgh (26-12-3-3) is 10/1 to win the Cup and
3.14 units in the black at 19-25 ATS, with a goal differential of
plus-0.55.



Neither of these two clubs is particularly hot right now. Chicago has
dropped five of its last eight games, and Pittsburgh is 4-7 since left
wing Blake Comeau (11 goals, nine assists) was put on injured reserve
with a sprained wrist, followed quickly by right wing Patric Hornqvist
(13 goals, 16 assists) and his ankle/foot. Meanwhile, defenseman Olli
Maatta (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2014-2015
season.
