Here at Bankroll Sports, football season never truly ends. We’re already breaking down the 2013 Super Bowl odds, including a team by team look at the best Super Bowl lines on the board for the upcoming season!

Best Arizona Cardinals 2013 Super Bowl Odds: 50 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook: The Cardinals definitely have some quarterback issues for the upcoming season, and until they can figure out who is going to be their man to lead them to the next level, they really don’t stand a chance in the suddenly somewhat challenging NFC West.

Best Atlanta Falcons 2013 Superbowl Odds: 22.50 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook: Trading a ton of draft picks to get WR Julio Jones worked for the Falcons, though now, they need to work on their defense. If the ‘D’ can match the efficiency of the ‘O’ come next season, Atlanta is going to be a team to be reckoned with for sure in the NFC South.

Best Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl 47 Odds: 14.50 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook: Baltimore was stopped one step short of the Super Bowl this year, but we still aren’t so sure that it didn’t have the best team in the league. Don’t be shocked if the Ravens are once again one of the last teams standing again in 2012-13.

Best Buffalo Bills Superbowl 47 Odds: 66 to 1 at Bet Online Sportsbook: QB Ryan Fitzpatrick tapered out this past season after getting a huge contract. We’re not sure whether the bigger waste of money is on Fitzpatrick or RB CJ Spiller, who looks like he is never going to make it as an NFL back. This is a team with no chance next year.

Best Carolina Panthers 2013 Super Bowl Lines: 50 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: QB Cam Newton turned out to be one of the best statistical rookie quarterbacks in the history of the league this year. He could be a star in the making for a team that is clearly headed in the right direction.

Best Chicago Bears 2013 Superbowl Lines: 33 to 1 at Bet Online Sportsbook: Things fell apart for the Bears this past year once QB Jay Cutler was knocked out for the season, and they are going to be hard-pressed to do much better this season with the Lions and Packers dominating the NFC North.

Best Cincinnati Bengals Super Bowl 47 Lines: 40 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: The Bengals were the shocking team in the playoffs this year, but they were clearly the worst of the 16 teams in the field and probably have no business challenging for the Super Bowl next year.

Best Cleveland Browns Superbowl 47 Lines: 100 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: The poor Browns are up against it, knowing that they have to contend with Cincy, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh every single season. They’re just not up to that type of level as of yet.

Best Dallas Cowboys 2013 Superbowl Odds: 20 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook: If Head Coach Jason Garrett doesn’t get the Cowboys in the playoffs next year, he is clearly going to be on his way out the door, though we aren’t so sure that they really have the goods to be a bona fide Super Bowl contender as of yet.

Best Denver Broncos Super Bowl 47 Odds: 50 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: Eventually, the league is going to figure out that QB Tim Tebow isn’t all that great. When it happens, the Broncos might be the worst team in football, though at least they are have some hope because they are playing in the worst division in football as well.

Best Detroit Lions Superbowl 47 Odds: 20 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook: The Lions took some major steps in the right direction this year, and their offense is as good as any in the league. The defense needs some improving though, and that’s what Head Coach Jim Schwartz has to work on this year to make Detroit a serious Super Bowl contender.

Best Green Bay Packers 2013 Super Bowl Lines: 6.25 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook: It shouldn’t be surprising that the Packers are the Super Bowl favorites once again, especially since they were the favorites from the day that the season started until the day they were knocked out of the playoffs this past season.

Best Houston Texans 2013 Superbowl Lines: 13 to 1 at Bet Online Sportsbook: The Texans were clearly one of the best teams in the league last year, and we can only imagine what could have been if they hadn’t lost both QBs Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart in a span of about 30 offensive snaps this year.

Best Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl 47 Lines: 50 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: The question that you have to ask yourself before betting on the Colts is whether you truly believe that they are good enough to win the Super Bowl if QB Peyton Manning is fully healthy. We just don’t think so at this point, as that team had just a slew of holes in it this past season.

Best Jacksonville Jaguars Superbowl 47 Lines: 100 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: The Jags are going nowhere quickly, and they are probably going to be the worst team in the league for some time in the post-Jack Del Rio era.

Best Kansas City Chiefs 2013 Super Bowl Odds: 50 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: Head Coach Romeo Crennel was the perfect choice for the KC job opening, and he is going to likely make this team a contender relatively quickly after a failed stint with the Browns in his last head coaching job.

Best Miami Dolphins Super Bowl 47 Odds: 35 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: If the Dolphins could just find a quarterback, they might become contenders in the AFC East in a hurry. You paying attention Peyton Manning?

Best Minnesota Vikings Superbowl 47 Odds: 75 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: The Vikes are pretty much just RB Adrian Peterson and a bunch of guys that aren’t that good. They have to make some big time moves to even think about sniffing .500 next year.

Best New England Patriots 2013 Super Bowl Lines: 7.25 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook: Here’s the big time issue that we have with the Pats: What the heck are they going to do next year if they have to play teams that finished the year above .500, considering the fact that they only beat one team like that this year, and that was in the AFC Championship Game in a game that could have (and probably should have) been lost against Baltimore?

Best New Orleans Saints 2013 Superbowl Lines: 8.25 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook: QB Drew Brees is probably going to throw for over 5,000 yards again next year if he stays healthy, but if the defense can’t at least get something going to slow down some teams, especially on the road, the Saints are always going to come close, but they aren’t going to win the whole thing.

Best New York Giants Super Bowl 47 Lines: 15 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: The defending champs are going to have their work cut out for them now that they have a bulls-eye on their backs. Still, QB Eli Manning has proven that he is elite, and this pass rush is absolutely ferocious.

Best New York Jets Superbowl 47 Lines: 22.50 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook: We aren’t ready to count out the Jets for next season, especially knowing that QB Peyton Manning could be on his way to the Big Apple, but we know if this locker room is anywhere near as poison as reports have it, Head Coach Rex Ryan could be in for some big problems.

Best Oakland Raiders 2013 Superbowl Odds: 50 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: The Raiders have a lot of potential, but what they don’t have this year are any draft picks. A decision will have to be made about QBs Jason Campbell and Carson Palmer very soon, though.

Best Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl 47 Odds: 13 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook: The “Dream Team” did play well down the stretch last year, and that’s what saved Head Coach Andy Reid. It really might be Super Bowl or bust this year for the Eagles, though.

Best Pittsburgh Steelers 2013 Super Bowl Odds: 13 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook: Injuries took their toll on the Steelers last year, but there is a real question as to whether it was injuries or age that really ultimately did this team in. If it’s age, the era of the black and gold as Super Bowl contenders, at least for the time being, might be over with.

Best San Diego Chargers 2013 Superbowl Odds: 19 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook: Each and every year, the Chargers are the bona fide favorites in the AFC West. Each and every year, they fall flat on their faces. Now, they’ve kept Head Coach Norv Turner again… And we pose the following question: Why?????

Best San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl 47 Odds: 18 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: The Niners made some real jumps this year to the status of an elite team. QB Alex Smith proved that he can play in the league, and Head Coach Jim Harbaugh proved that he is one of the best coaches in the game already. Good things are on the horizon in the Bay Area.

Best Seattle Seahawks Superbowl 47 Odds: 60 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: The Seahawks are one of the many teams that need a quarterback, but the fact that this club challenged the .500 mark this year should be a testament to Head Coach Pete Carroll and his development of a team that really isn’t all that talented.

Best St. Louis Rams 2013 Super Bowl Lines: 75 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: The Rams are at least a few years away from contending again in all likelihood, though keeping QB Sam Bradford healthy and giving him few decent weapons to work with could help change the culture in St. Louis quickly.

Best Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2013 Superbowl Lines: 75 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: It’s not just that the Bucs lost 10 straight games down the stretch that has us concerned. It’s how they were beaten in those games that looks just so brutal.

Best Tennessee Titans Super Bowl 47 Lines: 40 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: There is a big question next year in the Volunteer State as to whether or not the time is now to let QB Jake Locker try to take this team over or not. Either way, we just don’t see this team doing any better than it did in this overachieving season.

Best Washington Redskins Superbowl 47 Lines: 65 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook: Dan Snyder is clearly going to have to make sure that he has a new quarterback this year, because the chances of QBs Rex Grossman and John Beck leading a team to a Super Bowl aren’t just slim to none; they’re none to none.

It was four years ago that the New York Giants were lifting the Lombardi Trophy at the expense of the New England Patriots. This year, they are back in the big one once again, and if they are going to beat the Super Bowl betting lines in Super Bowl 46, these are the Giants keys to winning the Super Bowl.

Key #1: Eli Manning has to continue to get the job done in the clutch
Call it whatever you want to call it. Eli has guts. The younger Manning brother was sacked six times and nailed countless others by the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, but even though he was in a position where he was absolutely brutalized, when his back was against the wall, he got the job done. In fact, that “back against the wall” mentality is what brought the G-Men their first Super Bowl in the Manning era, and it will be what has to happen again this year. It is clear that QB Tom Brady has the better passing game in our eyes with the flexibility at the tight end spot. However, in the end, when the going gets tough, it is Eli that is going to have a shot with the ball in his hands to make something special happen. It might be to lead a comeback. It might be to preserve a lead. It might be to make the big throw in a seemingly impossible position. Yet at some point, Manning is going to need to make a play, and regardless of how well or not well he has played in the game to that point, he is going to have to find some way, against all odds, to make the play that helps New York win this game.

Key #2: The ground game cannot be stuck in neutral
The first time that these two teams played this year, 25 carries combined from RBs Brandon Jacobs and Danny Ware needed 95 yards on the ground. It wasn’t enough to consider the New York offense even remotely balanced, as the team threw it 39 times on the day, but it was just enough to win the time of possession battle and give Manning the ability to throw the ball around the field. RB Ahmad Bradshaw was out of the lineup in that first meeting of the year, as was WR Hakeem Nicks. The addition of these two is crucial to say the least, but if Bradshaw and Jacobs can’t get the ball going on the ground, these three fantastic wide receivers that Manning has at his disposal could effectively be taken out of the game. These two had a combined 23 carries for 87 yards in the Super Bowl four years ago, but there was a lot more pressure on them to carry the offense with the very young Manning under the gun.

Key #3: Blitz, blitz, and blitz some more
Actually, we probably don’t have the right terminology for this. The Giants don’t necessarily need to blitz, but they absolutely have to get in the backfield on defense and get the ball out of QB Tom Brady’s hands in a heartbeat. If Brady can hold onto the football in the backfield for long periods of time, TEs Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski will have plenty of time to get open and find seams in the defense. That just isn’t going to cut it to say the least. All of a sudden over the course of the last few weeks, men like DE Jason Pierre-Paul and DE Osi Umenyiora are finding ways to get around the corner and into the backfield in a hurry. Penetration is going to have to come straight at Brady as well, as it was when the pass rush was in his face that he made mistakes all season long against some of the best defenses in the game. Sure, generating that pass rush with just four or five guys will make life a lot easier on some suspect corners, but running bump and run and getting guys in the backfield in a hurry will do wonders as well. If the Giants can’t dial up some blitz packages and knock down Brady, they aren’t going to have success in this game.

Key #1: Tom Brady has to figure out how to beat a brutal pass rush
Some of the best teams in the game this year have had a remarkable pass rush this year, and the teams that have been able to beat the Pats have gotten to Brady and put him under some remarkable pressure. That includes the pair of sacks that the G-Men got in the first go around of these two teams. The Baltimore Ravens were able to get in his face last week, and though he was only sacked one time, Brady did throw two picks and only found the end zone one time, and that was on the ground. This is the same type of defense that the Giants are going to throw New England’s way again with some ferocious pass rushers like DE Jason-Pierre Paul. Whether it is more draws, more quick plays, extra blockers, or whatever the case is, Head Coach Bill Belichick and Brady have to design ways to be successful and to keep the likes of Pierre-Paul and these other remarkable defensive linemen out of the backfield.

Key #2: The threat of the big play has to be there
Brady threw for 5,235 yards this year, but the one knock that he has had about his passing game is that there really wasn’t all that much of a vertical passing game. WR Chad Ochocinco might have the ability to stretch the field, assuming that he is back in the lineup for the Super Bowl, while WR Deion Branch is probably the next best option. He caught a deep ball against the Denver Broncos in the Patriots’ first playoff game, but that was a severely different defense than what New England will see in this game. Brady has to be able to have the time to take some shots down the field, no matter who it is that is getting the passes thrown his way, and though we don’t think that he necessarily has to connect on those big time passes, he at least to have to have that threat to keep the New York corners from playing bump and run coverage. We have seen teams hit the deep ball against these defensive backs before, and the Giants have to be taken off the line of scrimmage with the threat of the long pass from one of the best quarterbacks in the game.

Key #3: New England has to become a hardnosed team
With apologies to the football players on the field, all of which have to be tough guys to a certain extent, this New England team is basically soft. The Patriots don’t run the ball right up the gut all that often and have to get cute running the ball with gimmicks and odd formations. They tend to get gashed when teams run hard at them, and their corners really don’t like playing bump and run coverage. Case in point for how soft this team looks: New England needed three shots to get into the end zone from 2nd and goal against the Ravens’ 1-yard line to get in the end zone, and in the end, it was just a jump from Brady got the ball in on fourth down. This is a tough New York team that has taken the emotion from its winning streak and its history of winning the Super Bowl in the past. New England has to match that intensity if it wants to avoid another terrible disappointment in the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl 46 odds are going to be contested in just a handful of days, and today at Bankroll Sports, we are going to look at the odds to win the Super Bowl MVP award for the biggest game of the season

Where else could we possibly start than with New England QB Tom Brady (Current Super Bowl MVP Odds: 1.15 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook)? Brady is the best and most important player on the team that is favored on Sunday, and though it isn’t always a quarterback that takes the final honor of MVP, often times, that does turn out to be the case. Unlike last year when the Pittsburgh Steelers were in the Super Bowl, we really don’t anticipate anyone on the New England defense being the difference maker (whereas the possibility was definitely there for the Steelers and for other defensive based teams). The only caution about Brady is that he hasn’t always played well in the playoffs in his career, and the AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens was anything but an MVP type of performance. Normally when Brady puts up his stats, the Patriots do end up winning though, and if he reaches the 300+ yard passing mark and his team ends up winning, Brady is going to be the MVP in all probability.

However, the quarterback on the other side the field, New York’s QB Eli Manning (Current Super Bowl MVP Betting Odds: 1.75 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook) has just as good of a chance to get the job done as Brady does. The Giants are the understood underdogs in this game, but Manning is the man that is going to have to get the job done offensively as he did when these two teams met four years ago in this very game. Historically, Manning has had the grit to be able to get the ball down the field when it is needed most, and he has become a bit of a fourth quarter comeback specialist, starting with the unbelievable play that both he and WR David Tyree made in the Super Bowl four years ago to help the G-Men knock off the previously perfect Patriots. If New York wins this game and the offense is the reason for that, we just don’t see any other possibilities aside from Manning winning the MVP award, especially with the way that he tends to shuffle the ball all over the field and the lack of a running game that exists in a split backfield.

Not all of the Giants are a lost cause, though. The man that could be worth watching is DE Jason Pierre-Paul (Most Recent Superbowl MVP Odds: 55 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook). You probably wouldn’t know it based off of his stats, which only show a grand total of a half sack in three games in the postseason, but Pierre-Paul has beena huge part of the reason why the Giants are in the Super Bowl. The former USF Bull has all of the tools to make a huge difference in this one, especially if the Patriots have to use Nate Solder as a primary weak side offensive lineman instead of the injured Sebastian Vollmer. Pierre-Paul had 16 sacks during the regular season, and if he can cause a ruckus in the New England backfield, he is the one defensive player that we could really see getting the job done for Big Blue.

Sure, it can be said that the New England defense really came up with the plays that made the big difference against the Ravens, but we just don’t see anyone doing that this time around against the Giants. We tend to think that, in spite of the struggles in the offensive line for New York, that there won’t be a single lineman that makes that much of an impact on the game to win the MVP award, meaning we have to shift to the other side of the ball to find another potential MVP candidate. No one ever really knows how the backfield is going to be split for Head Coach Bill Belichick, so the idea of counting on a running back having a multi-TD game just doesn’t seem all that strong. So, the next most logical choice would be TE Rob Gronkowski (Up To Date Odds to Win Super Bowl MVP: 7 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook). Gronk absolutely destroyed the record books for tight ends this year from a touchdown scoring perspective, and he has continued to be huge here in the playoffs as well. There just doesn’t seem to be a team out there that has the ability to cover him when it counts the most down near the goal line. Gronkowski has been walking around in a boot this week with an ankle injury, so we do have a bit of a concern that he won’t even get on the field on Sunday, but assuming that he ends up being okay to play, as long as he keeps up his role as Brady’s favorite target near the end zone, he could end up being the Super Bowl MVP, just as WR Deion Branch was several years ago for the Patriots.

If we had to take a defensive player though, that man would be DT Vince Wilfork (Most Recent Odds to Win Super Bowl MVP: 66 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook). The center of the offensive line for the Giants has been a rotating sieve seemingly all season long, and Wilfork really took advantage last week of a shaky offensive line effort by Baltimore to essentially be the MVP of that game as well. The former Miami Hurricane is clearly one of the best nose tackles in the game amongst teams that run the 3-4, and though statistically speaking, he isn’t always involved, Wilfork is the type of player that can make a few splash plays that stand out in the minds of the voters that can win the award in a low scoring game that lacked a number of offensive heroes.

What? Brett Favre? How in the hell does this guy’s name keep coming up? Yes, No. 4 in going to inevitably be in the broadcast his share of times, as he was the man that was perceived to have built this Green Bay Packers franchise. However, if QB Aaron Rodgers can pull this one off, he will have the same number of titles under his belt that the great No. 4 did in his entire time in Title Town. For the last of our daily Super Bowl prop picks, we’ll take a look at the prop odds for how many times the name “Brett Favre” is uttered during the biggest game of the year.

First off, we have to remember that this is Fox with coverage of the game, meaning Joe Buck and Troy Aikman and their man crushes on Favre are ridiculous. Ok, so one would figure that we would have to go ‘over’ 2.5 mentions of Favre’s name for the big one this week, right?

Not so fast, my friends. Let’s read the rules of this one a little bit closer, as this is always the key to these Superbowl props. This isn’t for mentions of Favre’s name in the coverage leading up to the game or during the postgame interviews or anything like that. Buck, Aikman, or any of the other Fox television stars have to mention Favre’s name at least three times from the kickoff of the ball through the final whistle of the game to make this one a winner.

It’s also not just the mentioning of “Favre.” Not “Brett.” Not “No. 4.” Nothing like that. The announcers have to refer to him as “Brett Favre.”

Now, we’ve already spoken about this man crush thing, but we know that there are going to be plenty of other topics of conversation that can come up over the course of this game. Even though we know that this was the year that Favre will reportedly go off into the sunset, we don’t think that he is worthy of having his full name mentioned at least three times during the telecast of the biggest game of the year, a game that he never had a chance of getting into with his Minnesota Vikings this year.

Super Bowl betting action is just mere days away, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are continuing our look at all of the great props that are on the board for you to sink your teeth into. Today, we look at why we believe there will be a TD of at least 44 yards that gets scored in the biggest game of the year to help you beat the Super Bowl lines.

When push really comes to shove, there always seems to be some trickeration in these big time games. In Pittsburgh’s two Super Bowls, we not only saw WR Antwaan Randle El throw a TD pass to WR Hines Ward against the Seattle Seahawks, but we also saw LB James Harrison end up with one of the longest returns in the history of the league when, at the end of the first half, he scored a TD against the Arizona Cardinals. Last year, the New Orleans Saints beat the Superbowl betting lines thanks to that pick six by DB Tracey Porter. We also saw WR Devin Hester return a kick for a TD against the Indianapolis Colts right off the bat in the Super Bowl a few years ago.

We already know that we have two defenses that not only know how to turn teams over, but to take the ball all the way to the house as well. DB Tramon Williams has already done it once in these playoffs for a 70 yard score, while we know that men like S Troy Polamalu, Harrison, and the sorts all know how to scoop and score.

Offensively, QB Ben Roethlisberger isn’t afraid to uncork the long balls, especially to WR Mike Wallace, who will be the fastest player on the field at all times. QB Aaron Rodgers has four different receivers that he utilizes, all of which know what it takes to have a 50-60 yard play without batting an eyelash. WR Greg Jennings, his favorite target, is a fantastic man at running after the catch, and if he can shake just one tackle on a play in which the Steelers send just one too many men at Rodgers, it could be all over.

The only thing we really have working against us is that neither of these running backs are really home run threats. There isn’t a back in the world that we consider a home run threat against the Pittsburgh defense, and the only time that RB Rashard Mendenhall rumbled for that long of a play all season long was on the game winning score against the Atlanta Falcons in OT in Week 1.

Still, it seems like we should be beating the Super Bowl XLV odds in this one with ease, as there should be at least one really long score that makes us a winner.

Free Super Bowl Picks: Longest Touchdown Over 43.5 Yards -115 at BetUS Sportsbook

Every now and again, making Super Bowl picks requires doing a little bit of thinking outside of the box. The Pittsburgh Steelers know that QB Aaron Rodgers does that Championship Belt celebration on his touchdowns and during big plays over the course of the game. Hollywood Sportsbook is offering a very interesting Superbowl prop in the biggest game of the year whether or not there will be a player on the Steelers that will imitate the leader of the Green Bay Packers at any point during this game.

Let’s be real, here. There is absolutely better than a 50/50 chance that this happens at some point. The oddsmakers weren’t all that specific in this one, as all the rules state is that the celebration must clearly be shown on TV during the game or a live picture of the Super Bowl. This doesn’t mean that it has to be after a touchdown, and it can appear during any point of the duel.

Think about this for a second. LB James Harrison comes off of the edge and gets a huge sack or forces a fumble. You don’t think for one second, especially if the Steelers have already allowed a TD or if the game is getting to be out of hand that Harrison wouldn’t be the smart guy to mock Rodgers with his own celebratory move? Think again. In fact, save perhaps the relatively mild mannered Troy Polamalu, there isn’t a player on this defense that we can think of that wouldn’t at least think about doing this Championship Belt celebration at least once if he can do something that negatively affects Rodgers.

Now, let’s go to the offensive side of the ball. WR Hines Ward has never really been known as a player that has the greatest of tempers, and it is clear that he is going to be out to make enemies, not friends in this Super Bowl betting affair. If he hauls in a huge catch or scores a TD, he is a great candidate to pull off this stunt as well. QB Ben Roethlisberger has never been known to shy away from a situation like this either, and we could see him stealing it as well.

The bottom line here is that there are just too many opportunities for Pittsburgh to pounce on poor Rodgers to pass on. Someone, at some point during these three and a half hours, is going to make the move, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see that old Championship Belt flashed several times over the course of the game. We tend to think that this is a mortal lock, and it’s not often that we say that at even money.

The Green Bay Packers have suddenly found their running game just in time for this great run to the Super Bowl. However, are they good enough to rush for a TD against one of the impenetrable defenses in the league this year, that of the Pittsburgh Steelers? We take a look at the Super Bowl props today for whether the Pack can get the job done on the ground or not.
Six TDs. That’s all that the Steelers have given up on the ground all season long in 18 games. Just that alone suggests that we should make our Super Bowl picks on the ‘no’, especially knowing that they are conceding right around 63 yards per game this year on the ground.

Green Bay did have 11 TDs this year on the ground and have added four more on the ground in the playoffs. From that perspective, one would think that they would have a great chance, especially at -105 Super Bowl odds, to be able to get into the end zone on the ground, even just one time.

The biggest fear that we have about betting the ‘no’ is the fact that this was a team that was remarkable on 3rd and 4th and 1 situations this year, and if the Pack get down tight near the end zone, RB John Kuhn has a very high success rate. We’re also mildly afraid of QB Aaron Rodgers taking off and running, something that has already netted 12 carries, 56 yards, and two TDs thus far in the playoffs.

However, when push comes to shove, we just don’t see it happening. RB James Starks hasn’t had a run in the playoffs of longer than 27 yards, and he certainly isn’t busting a long one against the Steelers unless there is just a total breakdown of assignments. We don’t really figure the Pack to get more than 2-3 TDs in this game in all likelihood, and the prospects of one coming on the ground just doesn’t look all that great.
