  • This year marks a monumental milestone for the
    Super Bowl -- the 50th anniversary.  Given this
    historic game in front of us, there is a lot of
    speculation on who will take home the Vince
    Lomabrdi trophy this year.
  • The Playoffs are here, and its still unclear who
    will come out victorious.
  • Not fans of the NFL, where the usual suspects are
    not a sure thing in 2016.
  • Not in this citys history, where five teams are
    essentially co-favourites to win the Super Bowl.

  • Its very similar to the Tour de France where you
    have a lead pack, said Jay Kornegay, who runs the
    Westgate Las Vegas Super book.  The field is wide
    open as some of these elite teams have struggled
    along the way.
  • This could be one of the most unpredictable
    playoff mixes in recent years even after a season
    where parity ruled in the NFL and the postseason
    looks to be much the same. Some of the dominant
    names of the past are in still in the game.
  • The Patriots, Cardinals and Panthers are 9-2
    co-favourites at the Westgate to hold the
    Lombardi Trophy aloft in California next month.
    The Seahawks and Broncos are behind at 5-1.

4
  • Once you include the Pittsburgh Steelers as an
    8-1 pick, essentially half the playoff teams are
    thought by odds makers to have a good chance at
    becoming Super Bowl victors.
  • According to Jimmy Vaccaro of the South Point
    hotel sports book, its getting to the point
    where you cant separate these teams anymore,
    especially the leaders.  There was a big drop
    late in the season with the Patriots and Packers,
    leaving room to move up. Its not a sure thing
    for anyone this year, Vaccaro added.

5
  • If any other evidence is needed of playoff parity
    its that the two lowest-seeded teams are
    considered more than just live dogs for the
    title. Not only do odds makers rank Pittsburgh
    and Seattle higher, but it didnt take long after
    odds were posted recently for both teams to get
    action from bettors.
  • At the South Point, there was action on the
    Steelers right away, while at the Westgate
    bettors quickly jumped on the Seahawks, pushing
    them from 3 1-2-points to 5 1-2-point favourites
    at Minnesota.
  • Kornegay adds that its unique that the 6th seed
    in both conferences would be favourites over the
    3rd, 4th and 5th seed in each conference.

6
  • At the Westgate, the biggest early bet came on
    Arizona to win it all at 9-2 odds, a bet that
    will pay off in six figures if the Cardinals are
    winners. Not getting as much love is Carolina,
    which hasnt been a betting favourite even while
    almost going undefeated in the regular season.
  • The Panthers were undervalued by bookies most of
    the year, going 11-5 against the spread on the
    way to a No. 1 seed in the playoffs. That is due
    largely because they lack the kind of marquee
    value bettors find in teams like New England and
    Seattle.
  • If the Patriots or Seahawks had the same type of
    results as the Panthers, said Kornegay, they
    would both be considering favourites to win the
    championship.

  • One thing bettors and bookies agree on is that
    Houston will not breeze through the playoffs. The
    Texans face the longest odds at 60-1, and are
    3-point underdogs at home against Kansas City in
    their playoff opener.
  • Kornegay added that he is not even sure the
    general public knows the Texans are playing.
  • Bookmakers arent too concerned with who wins,
    though they do have some favourites for business
    reasons. Teams such as Denver and New England
    always have good appeal, and Arizona could boost
    ticket revenue just because the Cardinals are
    fairly close to Las Vegas.

  • Last year, Nevadas 187 sports books took in
    roughly 116 million on the Super Bowl, but won
    more than 3 million. It was the second-highest
    revenue for the game, a number that is expected
    to be surpassed this year.
  • Vacarro foresees that this may be the most
    interesting Super Bowl in decades.  Some people
    think that the Patriots and Packers are Americas
    team.  These teams and their players are fresh
    meat in the Super Bowl! While football fans value
    history, the lack of experience may very well be
    replaced by first time excitement and action!
  • For additional information and predictions on the
    Super Bowl 50, check out the Associated Sports
    writer Tim Dahlberg who speculates that the
    Patriots can beat the odds.
