It’s easily the worst all-star game of the four major American sports leagues, but for those bettors who are having withdrawal symptoms from pro football action, the annual AFC-NFC Pro Bowl is Sunday night on NBC from Honolulu, with the NFC as a 4-point favorite on Bovada’s NFL football odds.

As is usually the case, this game is more about who isn’t playing. Of course no member of the New England Patriots or New York Giants will be there as they are slightly busy with other things. Both Pats QB Tom Brady (as a starter) and Giants counterpart Eli Manning were selected for the Pro Bowl. They have each been replaced by a rookie: Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton and Carolina’s Cam Newton, respectively.
It’s likely that Brady will be replaced as starter by Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger. He plans to play despite an ankle injury that bothered him for the final weeks of the season. If Big Ben were to pull out at the last minute, the Broncos’ Tim Tebow would be added to the AFC’s roster, although then the Chargers’ Philip Rivers would probably start. Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers will start at QB for the NFC as he did in 2009.
The NFC has won three of the past four Pro Bowls, including 55-41 last season when Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall was the MVP. Hall intercepted Rivers in the end zone, returned a fumble 34 yards for a touchdown and tied for the NFC team lead with six tackles. The game was a snoozer, with the NFC jumping to a 42-0 second-quarter lead. There is usually little defense in this game. The last two Pro Bowls have surpassed this year’s Bovada total of 72. The record total in a game was the NFC’s 55-52 win after the 2003 season.
Hall, by the way, was the first defensive player to win MVP honors since the Bucs’ Derrick Brooks in 2005 (season). Defensive players haven’t taken back-to-back MVPs since 1987 and ’88 when the Eagles’ Reggie White and Bills’ Bruce Smith, two Hall of Famers, did so, respectively. Quarterbacks have won the most MVP awards with 16.

There have been a couple of constants over the past decade at the Super Bowl – underwhelming halftime show performances, and the NFC winning the coin toss.
Super Bowl XLVI: Claim Your $100 Free Bet! Join Now.
With Madonna headlining the halftime show on Sunday that performance streak is likely to continue, but will the NFC be able to win the coin toss for a 15th straight year? Get all your NFL odds - literally, all of them - at Bovada.
Well, the AFC seems like they'd be due for a coin-toss victory, but bettors have likely been saying that for years and costing themselves a few dollars on the props market.
Ever since the Patriots won the flip at Super Bowl XXXI it's been a parade of NFC teams: Packers, Falcons, Rams, Giants, Rams (again), Buccaneers, Panthers, Eagles, Seahawks, Bears, Giants (again), Cardinals, Saints, and Packers (again).
So do you go with the Giants on the coin toss odds this time around, or do you truly believe the AFC (and the Patriots) are due? Both teams are available at -105 odds on the Bovada props to win the flip.
You can also get -105 odds on both Heads and Tails to be the result of the coin toss on Sunday, and those options have been split almost evenly over the history of the Super Bowl – Heads has been the result 24 times, with Tails coming up 21 times.
Finally, you can get -115 odds on both sides of the prop question 'Will the team that wins the coin toss win the game?' The Packers called Heads and won last year's coin toss, and then went on to beat the Steelers 31-17 for the Super Bowl victory.

New England quarterback Tom Brady will be the biggest name playing in Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis on Sunday, so it's only fitting that any discussion of NFL prop bets for the big game begins with the Pats' golden boy.
Super Bowl XLVI: Claim Your $100 Free Bet! Join Now.
Brady's OVER/UNDER for passing yards for Sunday has been listed at 320.5, and during the regular season the QB averaged 327.2 yards per game through the air.
Against the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, however, Brady was held to just 239 passing yards – a performance that he himself admitted was sub-par. During the regular season Brady threw for 342 yards in his team's home loss against the Giants.
And if you want to look back even further, Brady was held to just 266 passing yards in the Patriots' loss to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII; that season the Pats' QB had averaged 300.4 yards per game passing.
If you'd prefer to focus on Brady's touchdown numbers, the OVER/UNDER for TD passes for the quarterback for Sunday has been set at 2.5. Brady threw 39 touchdown strikes during the regular season, but none against the Ravens in their last game.
Against the Giants during the regular season Brady had two touchdown passes to go along with two interceptions; his interceptions OVER/UNDER for Sunday is set at 0.5.
If Brady is unable to throw a touchdown pass for the second straight game it would pay off at +700 odds on the prop asking how many TD strikes the quarterback will have on Sunday. One is set at +400, with two at +250, and three at +300. Four or more – a dream scenario for Pats fans – is set at +200 odds for the big game.
Finally, if you want your Brady-related props to be decided early so that you can concentrate on snacking, you can get favored NFL odds of -200 that his first pass will be complete, and +150 odds that his first pass will be incomplete. Think Brady will be picked off on his first passing attempt? That underdog option sits at a lucrative +1200.

Tom Brady has plenty of weapons down the field, and most of them are the subject of Super Bowl betting prop opportunities heading into Sunday's championship matchup between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants.
Super Bowl XLVI: Claim Your $100 Free Bet! Join Now.
Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker averaged 98.1 yards per game during the regular season, and his OVER/UNDER for receiving yards for Sunday has been set at 82.5 at Bovada on their props market.
Against the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game Welker was held to just six catches for 53 yards, but in New England's regular-season loss to the Giants he had nine catches for 136 yards. As well, back in Super Bowl XLII Welker led the way for the Patriots with 11 catches for 103 yards.
Welker, however, didn't manage to score a touchdown in any of those games, although he did make it into the end zone nine times during the regular season. On the prop bet 'Will Wes Welker score a TD' in the Super Bowl the favorite is 'No' at -140, with the 'Yes' side of that wager set at +110 odds.
The OVER/UNDER for Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's receiving yards for Sunday sits at 80.5; he's expected to take part in the game despite having an ankle injury.
During the regular season Gronkowski averaged 82.9 yards per game, and he had five catches for 87 yards against the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game. Gronkowski also had eight catches for 101 yards and a TD in their loss to the Giants this season.
Gronkowski's OVER/UNDER for receptions for the Super Bowl then sits at 5.5; the big tight end had 90 catches over the team's 16 games during the regular season, for an average of 5.6 per outing.

There are two easy ways to bet on the Super Bowl:
1. Be in Vegas
2. Know a bookie = Online Sportsbook Reviews - Online Sportbooks - Best Bookies
The third way — betting online at an offshore sportsbook — is way more tricky and annoying because banks and credit cards are legally prohibited from processing online gaming payments. But for the vast majority of Americans, it's the only way to place a wager on the big game on Sunday.
If you have a Visa credit card, you're one of the lucky ones who can fairly easily deposit cash into an online account. If you aren't a Visa customer, things get complicated.
Never fear, over the next few pages, we'll show you how to get a bet in by Sunday.
Quick note: Online gambling with offshore books comes with inherent risks since banks and credit card companies are prohibited from processing payments. If you try to deposit funds incorrectly, you could get denied and your bank account could be frozen. Also, some commenters have mentioned that the site we originally used for this post, Sportsbook-com, is "sleazy." We, as well as many others, have used it and it's worked fine (it's also one of the largest books), but by all means shop around and find a site that's right for you.

Even when it come to Super Bowl props Eli Manning gets overshadowed by his big brother.

Bovada is offering a Super Bowl prop on how many times Peyton Manning will be shown on TV during the game, and currently the Super Bowl odds are hovering at 3.5. Considering all the drama that has gone down with Mr. Manning, we can understand why the cameras will be on the future hall of famer on gameday.
Reports coming out of Indianapolis is that Manning's Colts career is all but finished. With the game being held in Indianapolis, and rumors swirling that Manning may not play another down in the NFL cameras will be on him come Sunday, the question remains how much? Some speculate that the only reason Manning and his $28 million are still on the roster is that the NFL wants the Colts to wait until after the Super Bowl is over before dropping the bombshell. Manning maintains that he will be ready to show he can still dominate football before the March deadline.
"I really feel good. I continue to make progress every day," he said. "Everything that the doctors have told me has been on point, which is encouraging to me. I just had a great day today with rehab, just got back from the facility, and that's what we continue to do. Just keep trying to get better. So far I have. That's the plan from here on out."
Stay tuned to the sideline on Super Bowl Sunday to see if this prop goes OVER.

Wes Welker? Rob Gronkowski? Tom Brady himself? Which member of the New England Patriots is going to score the first touchdown for their team in the Super Bowl on Sunday? That's the subject of another prop bet opportunity on the Super Bowl odds this week at Bovada.
Super Bowl XLVI: Claim Your $100 Free Bet! Join Now.
Gronkowski led the team with 18 touchdowns during the regular season and he's scored three more so far in the playoffs. So despite the tight end's bad ankle he's been pegged as the 3/1 favorite at Bovada to be the first New England player to find the end zone against the Giants on Sunday.
Wide receiver Welker is set at 4/1 odds, and he had nine touchdown receptions during the regular season plus one so far in the playoffs.
Tied with Welker on the list is tight end Aaron Hernandez at 4/1 odds, with running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis at 9/2. Hernandez had seven TD receptions during the regular season and has one so far in the playoffs, while Green-Ellis has rushed for a total of 12 scores so far this year.
Wide receiver Deion Branch (15/2) and running back Danny Woodhead (12/1) are next on those prop options, followed by Brady at 14/1 odds. Branch has scored six touchdowns so far this season, Woodhead just one, and Brady four.
Chad Ochocino, who has caught just one touchdown pass this season, is then at 15/1 odds, while you can get 12/1 odds that the Patriots won't score any touchdowns on Sunday against the Giants.
Back in New England's 24-20 loss to New York during the regular season Gronkowski and Hernandez scored the team's touchdowns, while Green-Ellis and Brady rushed for scores in the Pats' win over the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game last time out.

We continue our look at some cross-sport Super Bowl prop options at Bovada’s NFL football odds for Super Bowl XLVI between the Patriots and Giants with a few comparing members of the two teams against players from Sunday afternoon’s Michigan-Michigan State Big Ten college basketball game.
It's all on the line. Get your Super Bowl XLVI odds and props at Bovada.
First off, the number of touchdown passes from Giants QB Eli Manning against the number of 3-point shots made by Michigan star Tim Hardaway Jr. against the Spartans, with both at -115. Manning threw 29 touchdown passes in the regular season in his best year and has eight in three playoff games. So that’s 37 in 19 games, essentially an average of two TD passes per game. And he did throw for two in the first meeting with New England. Hardaway, Michigan’s leading scorer, has struggled from long range this season, hitting around 28 percent. And he hits on average only 1.6 per game.
You can also bet on the number of rushing attempts for Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw against the total points for MSU star guard Keith Appling vs. the Wolverines (both at -115). Bradshaw missed four games during the season but led New York with 171 carries in 12 games; he has carried the ball 46 times in the three playoff games. So totaled, that’s 217 carries in 15 games, or 14.5 per game. Appling is MSU’s second-leading scorer at 12.3 ppg entering this week. He had 10 points in the first meeting with Michigan.
Finally, you can bet on the total numbers of tackles and assists by Giants star defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul and the number of assists by Michigan freshman point guard Trey Burke, one of the nation’s top first-year players (both options at -115). Pierre-Paul had 86 total tackles (65 solo, 21 assisted) and played every game during the regular season. He has 16 total tackles in the three playoff games. So that’s an average 5.4 tackles over the full season. Burke leads Michigan in assists at 5.0 per game. In the first meeting with Michigan State, he had three.

Think the New England Patriots will win Super Bowl XLVI over the New York Giants on Sunday night and then the Boston Red Sox will win the World Series this fall? That’s one of a handful of futures specials on Bovada’s Super Bowl odds that players can bet on.
It's all on the line. Get your Super Bowl XLVI odds and props at Bovada.
Of course the Pats are 3-point favorites over the Giants to win the franchise’s fourth Super Bowl overall and first since the 2004 season. What are the Red Sox’s chances to win their first World Series since 2007? Boston has been fairly quiet this offseason after an historic collapse down the stretch last year and lost GM Theo Epstein to the Cubs. The Red Sox are 11/1 to win the Fall Classic, which is behind the Phillies, Yankees, Tigers and Rangers. There is a yes-only prop on the Pats and Sox both winning titles: +1600.
How about the Patriots and Celtics winning championships this season? The C’s look rather old at 11-10 amid talk that Danny Ainge might break up the Big 3 to rebuild. The Celtics are 11-10 heading into Friday’s home game with Toronto – only the second time Boston has been over .500 all season. A Patriots-Celtics title double is yes-only on Bovada at +3800.
The shortest odds for Boston fans is the Patriots and the Bruins repeating as Stanley Cup champions. The B’s lead the Northeast Division and are in the hunt for the most points in the NHL. A Pats-Bruins double is yes-only at +1000.
The underdog Giants also have tie-in yes-only championship props with their city brethren Knicks, Yankees and Rangers. The Knicks are certainly the least likely to win a title as they are struggling in a big way and wouldn’t even make the playoffs if the season ended today. Thus Giants-Knicks is at +6000. The Rangers currently have the best mark in the Eastern Conference and appear to have their best team in years. Thus a G-Men-Blueshirts pairing is +1800. And the Yankees made some late news this offseason in acquiring pitchers Hiroki Kuroda and Michael Pineda and as usual are among the World Series favorites. A Giants-Yankees double is at +1400.

The shortest odds for Boston fans is the Patriots and the Bruins repeating as Stanley Cup champions. The B’s lead the Northeast Division and are in the hunt for the most points in the NHL. A Pats-Bruins double is yes-only at +1000.
The underdog Giants also have tie-in yes-only championship props with their city brethren Knicks, Yankees and Rangers. The Knicks are certainly the least likely to win a title as they are struggling in a big way and wouldn’t even make the playoffs if the season ended today. Thus Giants-Knicks is at +6000. The Rangers currently have the best mark in the Eastern Conference and appear to have their best team in years. Thus a G-Men-Blueshirts pairing is +1800. And the Yankees made some late news this offseason in acquiring pitchers Hiroki Kuroda and Michael Pineda and as usual are among the World Series favorites. A Giants-Yankees double is at +1400.

Will the New England Patriots' first scoring play of the Super Bowl on Sunday be a passing touchdown? A field goal? Something else? That's the subject of yet another NFL prop betting opportunity on the Super Bowl odds for this weekend at Bovada.
Super Bowl XLVI: Claim Your $100 Free Bet! Join Now.
A passing touchdown is currently the 11/10 favorite on the prop bet asking what the Patriots' first scoring play of the Super Bowl will be – and with weapons like Wes Welker, Aaron Hernandez, and Rob Gronkowski at Tom Brady's disposal you can see why it would be a popular choice for Sunday.
A rushing touchdown is set at 13/4 odds, with a defensive or special teams touchdown at 9/1 odds. A run-of-the-mill field goal sits at 8/5 odds to be the Patriots' first scoring play of the game, while the more exotic safety is at 40/1 odds. The Patriots not recording a single scoring play against the Giants in the Super Bowl on Sunday sits at 40/1 as well.
You can also get -180 odds that New England's first score of the game will be a touchdown in a matchup with 'field goal or safety', which is the +150 underdog on that prop wager.
In the AFC Championship Game against the Ravens two weekends ago the Patriots first got on the board with a 29-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski. The Pats also started out with a field goal in their game against the Giants during the regular season, a 32-yarder off the foot of Gostkowski that didn't come until the third quarter of that 24-20 home loss.
Back in Super Bowl XLII the Patriots' first scoring play was a run by Laurence Maroney.
And if you want some immediate action on Sunday, you can also wager on what the Patriots will do first – score or punt. Currently the 'punt' option is the -130 favorite on that Super Bowl prop, with 'score' set as an EVEN-odds underdog.

Las Vegas is expecting as much as $100 million to officially be wagered this weekend on Super Bowl XLVI (46 for those of you not wearing a toga) as the Patriots and Giants butt heads. Add in the amount blown unofficially in office pools, bars and living rooms—as well as the dollars devoured on food, beer and football merchandise—and the number will easily rise into the billions. My crazy call: The game will be a stinker, and the Giants will roll, 35-13. Second prediction: Madonna will tear off her brassiere during the halftime show and Dennis Rodman will come tumbling out.

With the Super Bowl hype well into its second week we wouldn't blame you if you were getting a little tired of researching Tom Brady, Wes Welker, and Rob Gronkowski for your NFL prop bets. So how about doing a little research on Gisele Bundchen instead?

Brady's supermodel wife is the subject of one of the Super Bowl prop bets at Bovada for this week, with the question asking how many times she'll be shown on TV live during the game. The OVER/UNDER is set at 0.5.
You can also place a wager on Brady's son, as you can get -170 odds that he'll be wearing a Patriots jersey if he's shown on live TV on Sunday; the 'No' side is the +130 underdog on that Super Bowl prop bet.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft won't have the same appeal as Bundchen for camera operators at the big game, but he'll at least definitely be in the stadium on Sunday. The OVER/UNDER for Kraft appearances on live TV for the Super Bowl is set at 3.5.
Want some more exotic Patriots wagers? Bovada is also offering cross-sport props, including one that asks whether the number of Brady TD passes will be more than the number of goals scored by the Bruins against the Capitals in NHL action earlier in the day.
As well, you can get Brady TD passes vs. three-point shots made by the Boston Celtics' Ray Allen on Sunday, or even Welker receptions vs. LeBron James assists during the day.
Finally, if you think Patriots coach Bill Belichick is just itching to go out on top you can get +900 odds on him retiring if his team manages to win the Super Bowl on Sunday night.

A defensive player has been named Super Bowl MVP in just seven previous big games so the odds are long that one will get the honor for Sunday’s Super Bowl XLVI between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants in Indianapolis. The last player on that side of the ball to win MVP was Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Dexter Jackson, who had two interceptions in the Bucs’ SB XXXVIII win over the Oakland Raiders.
It's all on the line. Get your Super Bowl XLVI odds and props at Bovada.
The defensive player this time with the shortest odds on Bovada’s Super Bowl props is Giants end Jason Pierre-Paul at 25/1. In just his second season out of the University of South Florida, Pierre-Paul played like an NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The 23-year-old finished fourth in the NFL during the regular season with 16.5 sacks. He also had 86 tackles and two forced fumbles. In the meeting with New England back on Nov. 6, Pierre-Paul had three tackles and a sack in the Giants’ 24-20 upset win. He has just a half-sack in three playoff games.
The next defensive players with the shortest odds are Giants safety Antrel Rolle and ends Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora as well as Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, all at 75/1.
Rolle had 96 tackles and two interceptions during the regular season. He had six tackles in the first meeting with New England and has 21 tackles and a rumble recovery in these playoffs. Tuck missed several games during the season with injuries and finished with five sacks. He was held to three tackles in the first meeting with the Pats. Tuck had 1.5 sacks in the NFC title win over San Francisco. Umenyiora, who also missed some games due to injury this season, had nine sacks during the year. But a healthy Umenyiora has come on in the playoffs with 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble.
Wilfork generally doesn’t up big stats because he commands double teams, but he’s arguably the premiere nose tackle in football. But he has 2.5 sacks in two playoff games and was virtually unblockable in the AFC title game win over Baltimore with six tackles, including three for a loss.

Quarterback Eli Manning gets most of the press for the New York Giants’ run to the Super Bowl, and Manning did have a career season that has continued in these playoffs. But the Giants wouldn’t be in Super Bowl XLVI against New England if not for an improved running game that actually ranked last in the NFL during the regular season. With that said, let’s look at New York’s two-headed running back tandem of Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw and some of their props on Bovada’s Super Bowl odds in Sunday’s game.
It's all on the line. Get your Super Bowl XLVI odds and props at Bovada.
The Giants averaged only 89.2 yards on the ground during the regular season, with the shifty Bradshaw missing a handful of games. He still led New York with 659 yards rushing and nine scores. Jacobs finished with 571 yards and seven scores on 19 fewer carries than Bradshaw. In the playoffs, Bradshaw’s yards per carry are up by nearly a half-yard as he has rushed for 200 yards on 46 carries but has yet to find the end zone. He also has 14 catches for 95 yards. Jacobs, the power back, has raised his yards per carry by .7 from the regular season. He has rushed for 127 yards on 28 carries with a TD. He’s not much of a factor in the passing game.
During the regular-season meeting with New England, Bradshaw didn’t play due to injury. Jacobs had 18 carries for 72 yards with a touchdown and four catches for 28 yards. Bradshaw has the shortest odds of any running back to win Super Bowl XLVI MVP at 20/1 with Jacobs at 40/1. A running back hasn’t won SB MVP since Denver’s Terrell Davis in XXXII (Jan. 25, 1998) against Green Bay.
Bradshaw’s over/under for rushing yards in this game is 60.5, with his carries at 13.5. He has gone over the yardage total in all three playoff games and over the carries in two. In the passing game, Bradshaw’s over/under for catches is 3, with receiving yardage at 22.5. He has had more than 3 catches in two of the three playoff games but more than 22.5 yards in just one. That Bradshaw won’t score a TD is a -140 favorite. Jacobs’ over/under for rushing yards is 30.5 with carries at 7.5. His catches total is 1 with receiving yardage at 5.5. Bradshaw exceeded the rushing yards total in one playoff game and the carries in two. His went over the two receiving totals in two of the three playoff games. That Jacobs won’t score a TD is the -215 favorite.

One of the great props unveiled for the Super Bowl is the chance to bet on how one of the SB players fares in a cross-sport competition against a player who is competing in another sport on Super Bowl Sunday. There are a handful of these for Super Bowl XLVI between New England and the New York Giants on Bovada’s NFL football odds.
It's all on the line. Get your Super Bowl XLVI odds and props at Bovada.
Let’s start with Giants QB Eli Manning against Miami Heat star LeBron James. The Heat host the Toronto Raptors on SB Sunday, one of the NBA’s worst teams. The prop on this is Manning’s completions total vs. James’ points, with LeBron the -150 favorite. James is second in the NBA in scoring at 29.5 ppg behind Kobe Bryant. LeBron hasn’t faced the Raptors this year and should have a big day against a terrible Toronto defense. Last year in three games vs. Toronto, James averaged 28.0 ppg. Manning, meanwhile, averaged 22.4 completions during the regular season (20 in the November meeting with New England) and 25.3 in three playoff games.
Another prop involving LeBron is his assists against the number of receptions for Patriots WR Wes Welker, with both at -115. James is averaging 7.0 assists per game this season. He averaged 8.3 in three games with Toronto in 2010-11. Welker led the NFL this season with 122 catches, which is about 7.6 per game. He had nine in the regular-season meeting with the Giants. Welker has had six catches in each of New England’s two playoff games.
There’s also a prop on the number of touchdown passes by Patriots QB Tom Brady vs. the number of 3-pointers made by Boston’s Ray Allen in Sunday’s home game vs. Memphis. Brady was fourth in the NFL this season with 39 TD passes (2.4 per game) and had two in the regular-season game with the Giants. Brady had six TD passes in the playoff opening win over Denver but none in the AFC title game vs. Baltimore. Allen is the NBA’s all-time 3-point leader. This year he is averaging 2.7 3-pointers made per game on an incredible 57 percent shooting from long range. Allen’s Celtics haven’t faced Memphis yet this year.

We continue our look at some cross-sport Super Bowl prop options at Bovada’s NFL football odds for Super Bowl XLVI between the Patriots and Giants with a few New York-specific options available between players from the big game and a few New York Rangers stars also in action on Super Bowl Sunday.
It's all on the line. Get your Super Bowl XLVI odds and props at Bovada.
The Rangers host the Philadelphia Flyers in a possible Eastern Conference Finals preview on Sunday afternoon. The first prop is how many receptions that Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks has vs. the total number of goals in that Flyers-Rangers tilt (both options at -115). Nicks had 76 catches in 15 regular-season games, an average of just over five per game. In the Giants’ three playoff games so far, he has totaled 18 or an average of six per game. Nicks’ season high for catches was 10 in an October win over Arizona. He missed the regular-season meeting with New England. The Rangers entered this week No. 11 in the NHL in scoring at 2.8 per game, while Philly was No. 2 at 3.4 per game. The teams have met three times this year: a 2-0 New York win on Nov. 26, 4-2 Rangers win on Dec. 23 and 3-2 Rangers win in the Winter Classic.
You can also place a Super Bowl prop bet on the number of receptions by Giants receiver Mario Manningham (+125) against the number of shots on goal by Rangers star Marian Gaborik. Manningham played in 12 regular-season games with New York and had 39 catches (3.25 per game). He had three in the Giants’ win over New England. This postseason he has totaled eight catches, including just one in the NFC title game. Gaborik, the MVP of the All-Star Game, averages about 3.4 shots per game. His season high is eight, while his high against Philly this year is four.
Finally, you can place a Super Bowl bet on the number of points scored in the Super Bowl by the Giants (-105) against the number of saves by Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist (-125). The G-Men averaged 24.6 ppg during the regular season and had 24 in the win over New England. They are averaging 27.0 in the playoffs. Lundqvist, among the NHL goals-against average leaders, averages slightly more than 28 saves a game. He has 91 saves in the three games against the Flyers, a little more than 30 per game.

One of the hundreds of prop bets available on Sunday’s Super Bowl XLVI is on the margin of victory between the New England Patriots and New York Giants. And if history is any indication, it should be close.
It's all on the line. Get your Super Bowl XLVI odds and props at Bovada.
The “favorite” on Bovada’s Super Bowl odds is the Patriots winning by 1-3 points at 9/2. You can also bet on whether the game will be decided by exactly three points: yes is at +325 with no at -450. Of course four seasons ago, the Giants beat the Patriots by exactly a field: 17-14 in one of the biggest upsets in NFL history. And when the two played early this season, New York won 24-20 in ending New England’s 20-game regular-season home winning streak.
There have been five Super Bowls overall that have been decided by exactly three points and somewhat amazingly the past four all have involved New England. There was SB XLII vs. the Giants, along with SB XXXIX (Patriots 24, Eagles 21), SB XXXVII (Patriots 32, Panthers 29) and SB XXXVI (Patriots 20, Rams 17) in an upset that was very much like the Giants’ win four seasons ago. The only other Super Bowl decided by three points was SB V when the Baltimore Colts beat Dallas 16-13.
New England was involved in three games this season decided by three points, including the AFC Championship Game. New York was involved in five, including the NFC Championship game.
The second-favorite for margin of victory on Bovada’s Super Bowl props is New England by 7-10 points at 5/1 followed by the Giants by 1-3 points at 11/2. Could we have overtime? We did in the NFC title game and nearly did in the AFC game. But a Super Bowl has never gone to OT. Thus no is a huge -1200 favorite.

We’ve enlightened you about the Super Bowl parties, we’ve detailed our favorite Super Bowl recipes and we’ve handicapped the Super Bowl halftime props. There’s been plenty of game analysis in the Gambling Beat as well, which means all we have left to do is look at some pre-game props that feature pop star Kelly Clarkson, who will be singing the national anthem.
Join Bovada Sportsbook right now and bet on Kelly Clarkson’s anthem performance in the Super Bowl props section.
What will Kelly Clarkson wear to sing the National Anthem?
Super Bowl XLVI or official NFL shirt 2/1
Patriots Jersey or shirt 15/1
Colts Jersey or shirt 10/1
Giants Jersey or shirt 15/1
Anything else 1/3
Kelly Clarkson is a southern girl from Fort Worth, Texas, so it’s unlikely that she’ll have much of a vested interested to the point where she’d go out on a limb and support one of the two teams while singing the national anthem. With that in mind, we’re going to bank on her dressing up just in normal clothes for the performance.
How long will it take Kelly Clarkson to sing the National Anthem?
Over/Under 1 minute 34 Seconds
Ms. Clarkson is more of a straightforward singer than a crooner that hangs on to every note, so the under seems to make more sense in this prop. We’ve seen some serious songstresses in the past like Jennifer Hudson really stretch out every single note and Clarkson has a different style. She’ll probably be direct and to the point, with maybe a bit of a stretch at the finale. Now let’s just hope she doesn’t mess up any words, which is also available as a separate prop at Bovada Sportsbook.

She’ll probably be direct and to the point, with maybe a bit of a stretch at the finale. Now let’s just hope she doesn’t mess up any words, which is also available as a separate prop at Bovada Sportsbook.
