Analyzing Superbowl Odds

With so many Superbowl odds possibilities you would think that people would look at things from different angles but rarely does that happen. Let’s take a look at how you should analyze the Super Bowl.

Superbowl odds almost always tilt toward the favorite in the Super Bowl. Most of the time the public will back the favorite in Superbowl betting and the Superbowl odds are adjusted accordingly. Recently that is starting to change since the public backed the New York Giants last year in Superbowl odds and they are leaning to Arizona in Super Bowl XLIII.

The mainstream Superbowl betting public overreacts to almost everything. For example, when a key player is out, the masses will hop on the side of the opponent without taking into account the fact that the Superbowl odds makers have adjusted the line knowing that the public will go against the injured team. This is a classic case of the public depriving itself of value and overpaying for the wrong side in Superbowl odds.

Most of the public gets its NFL handicapping information, if you want to call it that, from the mainstream media outlets such as ESPN, USA Today, and similar sources. Ultimately, what you end up with is a Superbowl betting public that thinks and acts alike since the spin is all the same from the same sources.

The best way to deal with the masses is to analyze the Superbowl odds and see how the public is going to bet. By understanding the masses you will also understand why the Superbowl odds are set the way they are. One of the great ironies of Superbowl odds can be that the less value that is offered; the more valuable that it seems to the public.

As you look at Superbowl odds this year remember to take the public factor into account. Analyzing the Superbowl odds from the public’s perspective is not always the way to win money in the Super Bowl.
