Superbowl XLIV Prop Bets and Picks: The Best Proposition Wagers Offered at SportsInteraction
by Badger of Predictem.com
Let’s continue to surf the best offshore sportsbooks on the Web to see where we can find the best Superbowl XLIV proposition bets. We’ve looked at BoDog, BetUS and Sportsbook.com and BetED already, so here’s the best SuperBowl prop bets currently available at SportsInteraction.
GAME PROPS
Highest scoring half – Indianapolis – 1st (-125), 2nd (-111)
Neither one of these offer great odds, but I’m going to eat a little chalk here and predict that the Colts will score more points after halftime. Just like last week against the Jets, it will likely take a quarter, quarter-and-a-half for Peyton Manning to figure out what the Saints are doing to try and bring pressure and disguise coverage. Once he figures it out, look out. Take the second half at -111.
Team to score last touchdown? Saints (+110), Colts (-152)
If this game turns out the way the betting public is leaning, with the Colts as 6-point favorites and rising, then wouldn’t make sense that the Saints will be forced to play chase and score a late TD to close the gap? I’ll take the Saints with the better odds of +110.
Team to commit last turnover – Saints (-120) or Colts (-120)
If you agree with the above scenario, with the Saints forced to throw to play catch up late in the game, then this prop piggybacks the other one. Brees is forced to throw into coverage and Indy ends the game with an game-ending interception. Saints -120 is my pick.
PLAYER PROPS
MVP – Drew Brees (+300), Joseph Addai (+800) and Reggie Bush (+1600)
Using a classic short-middle-long scheme, I’ll take Brees at +300 instead of Manning at even money as my short. My middle, Addai at +800, is the cover just in case Indy wins and for some reason it’s not Manning (all of the Indy receivers are negated by Manning anyway). Bush and his electric ability to break punts and big plays is a great long value at 16-to-1.
To score a Touchdown Anytime – Pierre Garcon +110
Garcon is going to be a tough matchup on the outside for both Greer and Porter because of his size and strength, especially against Porter. Austin Collie is the same price (+110) so take your pick here between the two, but I’m taking Garcon.
Total Passing Yards – Peyton Manning Over 300.5 (-139), Under 300.5 (+100)
A lot of the prop odds on anything Manning are so far out of wack that you basically have to stay away from him completely, but this one is might be worthy. Worthy, based on the theory that if Manning is great and the Colts are covering the 6-points (current point spread) they should be running the football more. He won his first MVP on just 260-some yards, so it’s not like 300 is a magic number. I’m going under 300.5 for even money +100.
Peyton Piñata Pick – Match Peyton total pass yds and we’ll pay 44/1
Currently listed as a bet but closed, you can bet I’ll throw a fin or maybe a ten on the number. Since I’m advocating him having less than 300.5 yards above, I’ll take a number just a curly-hair away from lethal like 298.
National Anthem – How long it will take to sing the Anthem? Over/Under 1:38.5
This bet is also listed but currently closed. Once it opens if the over is -120 or less I’d buy. I’ve seen this number as high as 1:42 at other sites, so the over is certainly attainable for Carrie Underwood.
