Associated Press' rankings in three years this week, but that still

| Super Bowl XLVIII: Broncos Notes and Betting Trends |
| Feb 1, 2014 |
| The big story line of Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday at MetLife Stadium between AFC champion Denver and NFC winner Seattle is of course Peyton Manning as he looks for his second career title — that would match little brother Eli. Peyton led the NFL’s best-ever offense this season with the greatest season ever for a QB. It was a perfect comeback from last season’s shocking home playoff loss to Ba ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII: Seahawks Notes and Betting Trends |
| Feb 1, 2014 |
| It is the second Super Bowl appearance for the Seahawks franchise after
it led the NFC with 13 wins this season. Seattle lost Super Bowl XL in
Detroit to Pittsburgh 21-10 in probably the least interesting Super
Bowl this decade. The Seahawks rode the NFL’s best defensive unit to the NFC title. During the regular season, the Seahawks led the NFL in points allowed (231), total defens ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: First Downs |
| Feb 1, 2014 |
| A Super Bowl first downs prop seems easy to win. After all the Denver Broncos set the NFL record in scoring this year and led the NFL with a whopping 435 first downs. That’s a little more than 27 per game. The Broncos got 293 via the pass, 107 on the rush and 35 by penalty. They were an excellent 95-for-205 on third-down conversions, a success rate of 46.3 percent. Denver also was 8-for-9 on ... read more |

| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: Penalties |
| Feb 1, 2014 |
| No one wants the referees to be involved in the result of Sunday’s
Super Bowl XLVIII between Denver and Seattle, but the fact is that
penalties are going to play a factor. The NFL named Terry McAulay as the head referee for Super Bowl XLVIII. Among the other members of the Super Bowl XLVIII officiating crew are umpire Carl Paganelli, head linesman Jim Mello, line judge Tom Symonett ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: Interceptions |
| Jan 31, 2014 |
| If you go by accuracy, the Super Bowl should not be a contest because
Broncos QB Peyton Manning is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in
league history. During the regular season he completed 68.3 percent of
his passes with only 10 interceptions. Seattle’s Russell Wilson
completed 63.1 percent of his passes for nine interceptions — he also
threw the ball much, much less than Manning. ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: Safeties |
| Jan 31, 2014 |
| A safety is by far the rarest of scoring plays in the NFL. It is
usually a huge momentum change because not only does the team that got
the safety get those two points, it also gets possession of the ball.
Not unexpectedly, safeties have been rare in Super Bowl history with
only seven. A safety contributed to one of Denver’s three losses this season. In Peyton Manning’s return to I ... read more |
| NCAA basketball odds: Manhattan at Iona |

they visit resurgent Brooklyn on Friday night. The Thunder opened as
WagerWeb chalk. Oklahoma City beat Miami 112-95 after falling behind by 18 points early. Kevin Durant had 33 points, and Serge Ibaka added 22 and the Thunder roared back fr ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: Punts |
| Jan 31, 2014 |
| Probably the least appreciated player on a team is the punter — he is
usually the smallest guy and frankly a team would just as soon never
punt. It means the offense had a great day. However, punting can
absolutely influence a game in a big way in terms of field position.
That could be even more true in Super Bowl XLVIII with the weather
possibly being a factor. Denver’s punter Bri ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: Quarterback Sacks |
| Jan 31, 2014 |
| If the Seattle Seahawks are going to upset the Denver Broncos and their
record-setting offense on Sunday, the Seahawks are going to have to get
pressure on Denver’s Peyton Manning, who broke the NFL record for TD
passes and yardage this season. The good news is that Seattle ranked 8th in the NFL this season with 44 sacks. However, Manning was taken down an NFL-low 20 times. On the ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: Fumbles |
| Jan 31, 2014 |
| Because this Sunday’s Super Bowl XLVIII will be the first outdoor
cold-weather Super Bowl, with lows likely in the mid-20s and a small
chance of snow, it could be hard to hold onto the football, which gets
hard and slippery in the cold. Would that benefit one team over
another? We shall see. Seattle recovered 11 fumbles during the regular season and fumbled it away on 10 occasions. ... read more |
