Super Bowl betting has changed from its initial beginnings as the factors that lead into beating the NFL odds have been more difficult to figure in recent years. Super Bowl betting has seen far closer games and more frequent upsets than was the case in the past as figuring the NFL odds has come down to a combination of factors.

When looking at the recent winners with the NFL odds the first thing that comes to mind is that underdogs have paid out in six of the last eight years including the past two seasons. The Arizona Cardinals covered last year in a 23-27 loss as 7-point dogs against the Pittsburgh Steelers while the New York Giants covered in a 17-14 win over the New England Patriots as 14-point dogs two years ago.

This is the first time in sports betting history that the Pro Bowl has not been played in Hawaii. It’s also the first time in NFL odds history that the game will be played the week before the Super Bowl and not after.

After 12 years as a professional QB in the NFL, Peyton Manning is well on his way to becoming the most prolific passer in the history of NFL odds. Over that time, he’s done more than any QB ever to play game, in terms of stats.
