Every year you hear that “defenses wins Championships,” but this season the Super Bowl features the two most explosive offenses in the NFL. The Colts offense is led by veteran QB Manning and averaging 25.9 points and 363.1 yards per game while scoring at least 27 points in 6 of their 8 road efforts this year. In fact, we find the Saints defense allowing 22 points or more in 5 of their 8 road games and posting a 10-2 Over/Under record against teams averaging 350 or more offensive yards per game behind Head Coach Sean Payton! On the other side of the ball, the Saints offense is led by QB Drew Brees and averaging an incredible 32.6 points per game. Don’t expect these high powered offenses to slow down on the road in Miami this Sunday as both of these squads were 7-1 SU on the road this year. The Saints went “Over” the Total in both of their Playoff games while putting up 76 points in the postseason, beating Arizona 45-14 and Minnesota 31-28. The Saints have now gone “Over” in ALL 7 postseason games in franchise history, and this season’s two “Overs” improved New Orleans to 7-0 Over/Under during postseason play!

7* Play On OVER (Super Bowl 44)

2010 Super bowl betting action is right around the corner! Even though tons of football wagering fans will look to place a bet on the Super Bowl spread or ‘total’ in the biggest game of the year, taking in action on props can be both a fun and exciting way to make some easy scratch! Check out some of the Super Bowl XLIV prop bets that we’ve got our eye on at Touthouse.com

Joseph Addai o2.5 pass receptions -140: Here we have a very interesting prop involving Addai, who caught 51 passes in the regular season. Think back to Super Bowl XLI for a second. QB Peyton Manning was facing a Chicago Bears’ defense that was absolutely insistent on rushing the passer as its only hope to win the game. Manning’s numbers weren’t all that fantastic on the day, but he did find his check down man, Addai a total of 10 times in the game. A similar strategy should apply for the Colts this Sunday against the Saints’ defense. The price may be a bit hefty, but Addai should be getting there without much concern.

Drew Brees’ longest pass completion o38.5 yards -115: Once again, this is a very interesting Super Bowl proposition. The Saints are sure to chuck the ball up the field against the Indianapolis defense, especially with a gimpy DE Dwight Freeney not at full strength. That means more time for Brees to stand back in the pocket and find his open targets. Aside from that, RB Reggie Bush always has the ability to break a huge one out of the backfield and turn a little four yard dump off into a 40-yard burst. It only takes one play to happen, and after watching Indy concede an 80-yard touchdown to the Jets in the AFC Championship Game and allow a few 25+ yarders against the Ravens in their first playoff game, seeing one 39+ yard pass seems to be a foregone conclusion.

David Thomas to score a touchdown pass +750: Your first thought on this might be, “Who?” but Thomas is becoming a lot more involved in the New Orleans offense than one would originally think. He has caught just one TD pass on the season, but he was thrown at just as many times (6) in the NFC Championship Game as anyone else on the Saints’ roster. It’s a long shot, but Thomas figures to have looser coverage near the end zone than fellow TE Jeremy Shockey does, and the right holes may open up for a star to be born in this game.

As always, there are hundreds of choices that you can make in Super Bowl props. Check out just a few more of the seemingly infinite options that you can sink your teeth into for the final NFL gambling affair of the season

The NFL may not have a truly meaningful game on the docket on Sunday, but for the first time in league history, Pro Bowl betting action will kick off the week between the Super Bowl and the AFC and NFC Championship Games. A total of 43 All-Stars from each conference will engage in this exhibition, which is traditionally a high scoring fun affair for one and all.

Current Odds: The NFC is currently favored by 2.5-points with the game ‘total’ set at 57.5 for this exhibition.

The AFC Pro Bowlers were certainly decimated by the fact that there are no Indianapolis Colts playing in this game. None of the three quarterbacks originally selected to play in the game are going to be on the roster when the game kicks off on Sunday afternoon. Houston Texans QB Matt Schaub clearly has the best numbers of any of the three on the roster, but aside from his 4,770 yards and 29 touchdown passes on the year, there just isn’t any allure in seeing either Jacksonville’s David Garrard or Tennessee’s Vince Young taking snaps. The AFC does have a fantastic set of skills players though, as it features three of the strongest young running backs in the game (Maurice Jones-Drew, Chris Johnson, and Ray Rice), and probably has the better set of receivers and tight ends of the two squads.

However, it’s hard to ignore just how good the NFC’s passing game really should be even though it doesn’t have the WR options that the AFC does. QBs Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo, and Donovan McNabb all had stellar seasons, and each was deserving of his spot on the team, unlike Young, who wasn’t even starting at the beginning of the season, and Garrard, whose team is probably going to draft a quarterback to try to replace him in the near future. Keep an eye on the connection between Romo and his leading receivers Miles Austin and Jason Witten. Those two combined to catch 175 passes for 2,350 yards in the regular season, and the Cowboys trio could pave the way for a Pro Bowl wagering victory on Sunday in Miami.

The NFC has captured the L/2 Pro Bowls both SU and ATS, winning last year’s game 30-21. The teams had alternated wins and losses from 2003 to 2008, and the triumphant team has covered the football betting lines in each contest since 2000.

Super Bowl XLIV betting action may be two weeks away, but Touthouse.com already has the first look at the big game between the AFC Champions, the Indianapolis Colts (16-2, 12-5-1 ATS) and the NFC Champions, the New Orleans Saints (15-3, 9-9 ATS). In order to reach their first Super Bowl in franchise history, the Saints disposed of both the Arizona Cardinals (45-14) and the Minnesota Vikings (31-28). Indianapolis had to face two of the toughest defenses in the league on its path to its fourth Super Bowl in team history, as it knocked out both the Baltimore Ravens (20-3) and New York Jets (30-17).

New Orleans has one of the highest flying offenses in the league. The unit ranked #1 in the regular season in both total offense (404.4 yards per game) and scoring (31.9 points per game). Even though the Vikings largely kept the Saints from racking up oodles of yards, the black and gold still put together a whopping 31 points on the board. Their defense forced five Minnesota turnovers en route to the Super Bowl, but the ‘D’ is still one that allowed 357.8 yards and 21.3 points per game in the regular season. Even worse is the fact that New Orleans has conceded 417 yards per game in its two postseason football betting battles this year.

Matters may get worse for the boys from the Bayou when QB Peyton Manning and his band of offensive juggernauts reaches the field a week from Sunday. Including the playoffs and the regular season, Manning has thrown for 5,123 yards and 38 TDs, and what he’s proving in the playoffs is that he can use any number of weapons. Both WR Reggie Wayne and TE Dallas Clark caught 100 passes during the regular season, but the men that are tearing apart opposing defenses for the Colts are WRs Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon. Neither one expected to factor into the Indianapolis offense this season, as Wayne, Clark, and the injured WR Anthony Gonzalez were expected to be the dominant options in the passing attack, but Collie and Garcon have combined for 27 catches, 360 yards, and three TDs in two playoff games.

In his L/2 NFL betting battles agaisnt the Saints, Manning has thrown for nine touchdowns against no interceptions. Indy covered and won both games with ease.

The time has now come to get your Super Bowl betting hat on and decide who you are going to place your money on this year, the Colts or the Saints. Both teams are the top-seeded teams from their respected Conferences and started with New Orleans winning their first thirteen games in a row and the Colts going 14-0, before resting their players for the post-season. It should be a good game this year at Florida’s Miami Gardens.

The point spread for the game has been set at five, with the Colts being favorites at -5 points and giving the Saints a handicap of +5. Betting against the spread so far has been mainly in favor of the Colts, with 66% of money backing the AFC side to come out on top and win their second Super Bowl in four years. New Orleans have never played in a Super Bowl before which has NFL betting this year is extra exciting.

We are getting excellent value in this total. Last week, the Saints/Cardinals had a total of 57 and this week the number is at 53 as of Tuesday morning. That is a difference of just four points which is a small decrease considering we are seeing the Vikings sixth ranked defense compared to the Cardinals 20th ranked defense last week. Minnesota’s offense is better than that of Arizona but not by much and certainly not toward the end of the season when Arizona was clicking on all cylinders. The Cardinals were unable to stop the Saints offense as New Orleans put up 45 points but it did mange just 418 total yards which is just a little above what the Saints average during the regular season. I believe the Vikings have an excellent chance of slowing down that offense. Minnesota had the sixth ranked total defense in the NFL last season while allowing 20.8 ppg which was 13th. For some reason, the Vikings stop unit has caught a lot of flack this season for nothing being as strong yet the defense once again finished sixth overall and the scoring defense actually improved, allowing 19.5 ppg which was 10th in the league. The rushing defense dropped from first to second which is nothing. The Vikings completely stopped the Cowboys whose offense is certainly a strong one. Dallas was limited to only three points and just 248 total yards. The Vikings were able to get to quarterback Tony Romo all day long as they recorded six sacks, five from the defensive line. The Saints are similar in that they do not max-protect very often on passing plays and even though Drew Brees was sacked only 20 times, Minnesota once again will have a good shot at simply overpowering that offensive line. New Orleans held the Cardinals to next to nothing as well and that defense, which played so good early on and was scrutinized late in the season, looks like it is back at full force. The injury situation played havoc on the Saints and there were a lot of key players missing time but those players are healthy once again. These two defenses combined have allowed a total of only 39.4 ppg through the 17 games played and while the offenses are obviously much better, the defenses will be the story again. Neither team will want to get into a shootout and I expect Minnesota to establish a strong running game. The Vikings had trouble running against the Cowboys but the New Orleans rushing defense is much weaker as it allowed 4.5 ypc which was tied for 24th in the league. Doing this will keep the Saints offense off the field as much as possible. Minnesota is 9-1 to the ‘Under’ in its last 10 games coming off a double-digit home win while New Orleans is 7-0 to the ‘Under’ in its last seven games after allowing more than 6.0 yppl in its last game. Also, the ‘Under’ is 21-5 in the Vikings last 26 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game. 3* Under Minnesota Vikings/New Orleans Saints

If you are looking for free NFL football betting picks on a daily basis be sure to sign-up for the ATS newsletter, featuring unmatched sports wagering information, free picks and expert analysis.

Championship Sunday is here and these two should be classics. Game 1 is the AFC showdown between the Jets and Colts in Indianapolis. New York got the best of the Colts in week 16, but Indy chose to rest their starters in the second half. Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez are looking to become the first rookie coach/QB combo to advance to the Super Bowl.

The NFC title game is one of the most anticipated in recent memory, as Brett Favre and the high flying Vikings travel to the Superdome to take on Drew Brees and the Saints. These have been the best two teams in the NFC all year, and this one is shaping up to be a high scoring affair. Good luck and enjoy.

I look at this game and think you are going to see a shootout in New Orleans. The Vikings are putting up 29.6 ppg against teams that allow 22.5 ppg and on the road they give up 23.5 ppg against teams who only give up 20.8 ppg.

The Saints are scoring 33.2 ppg at home this year against teams who allow 22 ppg and they give up 358 yards per game against teams who gain only 329. Basically this game boils down to both offenses being among the best in the league, and the defenses not being bad, just not good enough to stop either one. This one goes over.
