One football game remains in what has been a wild season. When the dust settles, Tom Brady or … Nick Foles will be the last man standing. Both have something in common with hoofed creatures. One is the GOAT; the other owns a pet llama named Tina. That’s just one thing you probably didn’t know about…

The wait is almost over. Time flies when you’ve spent endless hours researching the hundreds of prop bets available on the offshore market. Oh, you haven’t been doing that? Well, let us catch you up. We’ve assembled our rag-tag crew of prop-loving experts to narrow the pool of hundreds down to our 52 favorite. Game props,…

My first foray into being a total degen smart sports speculation came in high school when I bet every dollar to my name on which NFL teams would receive opening kickoffs. It was either bet on kickoffs or continue my career as an employee of Mayflower Moving Co., and I wasn’t about to go back…

For the past two weeks we’ve given you complete coverage on Super Bowl 52, and now game day has arrived, bringing with it one final piece. Without further ado, here are the staff against-the-spread leans as well as our favorite Super Bowl bets. Patriots -4.5 Justin Bailey John Ewing Mark Gallant Joe Holka Peter Jennings…

That title is not a joke. I have identified a Super Bowl 52 prop involving Tom Brady’s rushing ability that actually holds value. Yes, I’m referring to the same Brady who ran a 5.27 40 yard dash at the 2000 NFL Scouting Combine.   Yes, the same Brady who has still not reached 1,000 yards on the…

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is probably (read: definitely) the greatest of all time, but the public is lining up to bet against him in the Super Bowl. Even though the Pats opened as -6.0 favorites, the spread has been bet to -4.0. The public normally prefers favorites, especially the Pats, but 57 percent of the spread and 68…

Why settle for football-only Super Bowl wagers on Sunday when you could be the Vegas version of Bo Jackson and bet on a handful of cross-sports props? We’ve collected a bunch of the best available options on the board, pitting props from this weekend’s NBA, PGA, NHL, Premier League and NCAA hoops action against ones…

It is halftime of Super Bowl 52, Justin Timberlake is on stage. The last time we saw JT perform on Super Sunday, the phrase “wardrobe malfunction” was born. While most see Super Bowl halftime as a chance to hit the head, grab another beer, or watch the entertainment, it also gives sharp bettors one more…

For the eighth time in his 16 seasons as the starting quarterback of the New England Patriots, Tom Brady is going to the Super Bowl. But for the first time since the Patriots’ 18-0 team was nearly two-TD faves against the Giants, the public is lining up to bet against him in the Super Bowl. Even…

On Sunday, the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles will meet in Minneapolis for Super Bowl 52. This is the first time the two teams have met since Week 13 in 2015. With this in mind, I analyzed whether the lack of familiarity between the two provides an advantage for either team.

Gene Steratore will be the crew chief for Super Bowl 52. He leads a seven-person crew including Roy Ellison (umpire), Jerry Bergman (down judge), Byron Boston (line judge), Tom Hill (field judge), Scott Edwards (side judge) and Perry Paganelli (back judge). These officials were rated in the top tier at their position and are considered…

Super Bowl 52 is officially set: Patriots-Eagles in a rematch of Super Bowl 39. Amazingly, the Eagles also defeated the Falcons and Vikings en route to that Super Bowl in the 2004 season. The Patriots opened up as a six-point favorite, nearly the same spread as their last Super Bowl against Philly. New England has…

The New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles will meet in Minneapolis for Super Bowl 52. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick had to overcome a 10-point fourth quarter deficit, but the Pats are headed back to the Super Bowl for a second straight year and third in the past four seasons. The NFC Championship wasn’t nearly…

The New England Patriots opened as consensus 6-point favorites in Super Bowl 52. As of Thursday morning, 59% of spread tickets are on the Philadelphia Eagles shifting the line to Pats -5 at eight of the 11 sportsbooks we track. There is even a -4.5 among the mix. What is causing the line movement? No…

As New Englanders, Super Bowl 42 brings us back to a dark, dark place. A 19-0 season on the line, favored by nearly two touchdowns…what could go wrong? Nearly brings a tear to my eye to this day. That was also the only Super Bowl involving the Patriots in our database (beginning with Super Bowl…

The Patriots are in the Super Bowl! Who would have guessed it?!? It’s not all sunshine and daisies for the Pats, though. While Tom Brady’s hand will have a couple of weeks to get back closer to 100%, he may be without one of his favorite targets: Gronk. Concussion Protocol: “Hey Gronk, here’s a tide…
