Part of developing the outlook of the Superbowl odds maker is to learn what the public is likely to do. By stepping against the grain and going against the flow you will separate yourself from the majority. That doesn’t mean you will always win in Superbowl betting though. Sometimes the public figures it out and is right. Just last year the public went with the underdog New York Giants in Superbowl odds and handed the sportsbooks a rare loss in Superbowl betting.
Superbowl will almost always give the favorite too much credit. The public likes to bet the better team and they don’t care about laying points in Superbowl odds. Keep in mind though that after last year when the public took the Giants that even that could be changing a little bit. This year the public remembers what happened with the Giants upset and they are leaning to the underdog Cardinals in Superbowl. What does that tell you in Superbowl? It tells you that the public could be overvaluing Arizona plus the points. Can the public win back-to-back Super Bowls? The answer is obviously yes, but do you want to be putting your hard earned money betting with them again?
