Almly said you might have to lay -125 to go over 16.5??? The first place I went to I saw 15.5 -120. But my question is why does Carolina HAVE to score that many points? NE has held teams to 14 pts or fewer 10 times including 2 for 2 against more High powered offenses than Carolina presents. Granted that was at home but I don't see where the Carolina offense will be exploiting NE regardless of game location.
really like that "under 6 1/2 players to catch a pass" for Carolina. Of course the Pats have a great pass D, and, I looked at the last 10 games played by Carolina, and i think there were only 2 where they went over 6. A lot of 6's, but that's a win. On the other side, throw in a misdirection play designed specifically for the Superbowl and it could slip over 6. And if they fall behind too far they'll have to resort to the pass, but, the odds are -110 so it still looks good.
Some props from WSEX:
# of Arsenal + Manchester City goals +.5 (-130) over Total Patriots TDs. Arsenal is about due for a goal explosion, and Man City has been both scoring and letting them in lately. Last year I bet a similar prop with Man Utd goals over Rich Gannon TD passes, and the soccer match ended 6-0. If this year's soccer game produces even 3 goals (which it probably will), I think this play will be a winner. I think there will be a lot more FGs than TDs for both teams this Sunday, which brings me to...
Total made FGs by both teams over 3.5 (+110). I'm not really sure how the over is the dog here, but I'll gladly take it. Considering how good these two defenses are, this game could very well come down to the kickers...and both of them can nail FGs from long range. I think you'll see at least 4 made FGs this game, probably 5.
Carolina Full Game points -4 over Patriots first half points. I think the Panthers will pull this one out something like 19-16, and they can hold NE to 14 or under for the first half.
Will there be a score in the final 3:30 of the game: Yes (-130). I can't remember a Super Bowl where there hasn't been a score in the last few minutes (even in the blowouts). OT counts too...and I think the late scoring trend continues.
New England punts (-160) before they score. It'll take a while to probe the Panther D. Unless the Pats get a turnover deep in Panther territory, I don't think they'll march down and score right off the bat.
