Super Bowl 58 – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

Super Bowl 58 is this Sunday and it’s a prop bets smorgasbord.

I LOVE prop bets. I actually get more joy out of betting Super Bowl prop bets than betting against the spread. Yes, most are a crap shoot, but with the right research, you can end up winning bets with very favorable odds.

I’m not saying you can research who will win the coin toss, but there are many other player and team prop bets out there that have nice odds.

Some prop bets aren’t worth the money (the juice isn’t worth the slight risk), but sometimes you just have to lay a few bucks down, cross your fingers and wish for the best.

Who Will Win the 2021 Super Bowl?

It’s happening – NFL season is underway. There won’t be as many fans in the stadiums, nor will there be as many reporters on the side-lines, but otherwise the games are expected to play out exactly as they would in any pre-COVID-19 season.

Below are just a few predictions based on some of the betting odds as to how this season may play out.

The Headline Performers Scheduled for the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show

We are only a matter of days away from the Super Bowl LIV, with the NFL’s leading contenders to reach the Super Bowl in Miami currently in the midst of the hectic and intense playoffs.

While most ardent NFL fans will be glued to their television screens to watch the two best teams of the season battle for the Lombardi trophy, many others will tune in to watch their favorite entertainers and performers take to the stage during the iconic Super Bowl halftime show.

Historically, the halftime show was a more modest production that didn’t take center stage ahead of the game itself. However, that all appeared to change in 1993 when Michael Jackson was invited to make a headline appearance. His signing helped encourage millions more to tune into the big game, which made the NFL and its broadcasters sit up and take notice of the halftime show’s potential.

Why the Carolina Panthers WILL win the Super Bowl this season

So far, the Panthers have breezed through the playoffs and will now face Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl for the NFL Championship.

Carolina are playing incredibly well on both sides of the ball, which stands them in good stead to win the Super Bowl for the first time. They reached the showpiece event back in 2003 but fell short as the New England Patriots scraped victory courtesy of an Adam Vinatieri field goal.
