I like Peyton and I think the colts have the better team, but I want the saints to win this one.

yeah, colts are the favorite

Colts -4.5 is like printing money. Still a bit leery about betting the over as I could easily see a final scoreline of 31-24...I figure I'll make a game-time decision on that one.

2 dimes on colts and the over!!!!!!!!!!!

[dnix]

over and under???????

[kimball]

right now it's 56.5 ... it's the combined score of both teams. you can bet the over... thinking both teams together will score 57 points or more. or the under... thinking they'll score less.

with good reason...

***Four out of the last 5 Super Bowls have stayed UNDER the total.

I've just realised I don't understand how American sports odds work at all... Should probably look that up before I go.

top right is a drop down that converts the odds to decimal and fractional the way you guys do it...hope that helps. I assume the rest you knew, it was just the odds right?

For those of you who like the Saints here's a nice stat ... and I have more ...

***In their franchise's previous 3 Super Bowls, the Colts are 2-0 when wearing white and 0-1 in the blue jerseys. The team wearing the white jerseys has won the last 5 Superbowls in a row. New Orleans will be wearing white this week, with the Colts choosing their home blues.

with good reason...

***Four out of the last 5 Super Bowls have stayed UNDER the total.

These don't mean anything at all. It's as irrelevant as saying that since 2000 the NFC has only won twice. It doesn't matter.

Some equally useless stats:
New Orleans:
New Orleans is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games
New Orleans is 15-3 SU in its last 18 games
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of New Orleans's last 6 games
New Orleans is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games when playing Indianapolis
New Orleans is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games when playing Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS
Indianapolis is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games
Indianapolis is 16-2 SU in its last 18 games
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Indianapolis's last 6 games
Indianapolis is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games when playing New Orleans
Indianapolis is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games when playing New Orleans

Except for the bold, the rest are almost utterly useless, IMO. Teams only care about the bold stats above, they don't care about anything else.

No... some are more funny than anything. But some of those trends are VERY important. Such as ATS when betting over the course of the season. But looking at the over / under from the last 5 or 6 superbowls means something. Who is wearing what color... not so much.

[Bababooey323]

So we're betting the over, right?

Most people love the over with these two teams... I'm not sold. Some people think I'm crazy. The last 5 superbowls... 50 points or less. Those teams could score.

If you like the over take it... you have a 50 / 50 shot.

alot of the last few superbowls actually had defenses, detroit put up 27 vs. NO

Pitt, New England, Giants, and Bears all had GREAT defenses, and the bears defense was very good a few years ago when Peyton and co. put up 27. theres no defense in this game and I think Indy typically plays to the level of their competition they either out score them in a shootout OR eat the clock if the team has a good defense.....and obviously the Saints can score, so Im gonna go the shootout right.................two dimes on Indy and the over
