Super Bowl Recap

Sunday February 3, 2008
What a great game, as the public is correct on the Giants, who not only only cover the point spread, but get the outright victory at odds of +375 on the monleyline to make it a great day for those backing New York.

The public doesn't come close on the total, which easily goes under, as the Patriots' offense was contained with surprising ease in a great effort by the New York defense.

Numerous bets were settled before the opening kick0off, as tails came up a winner for those wagering on the coin toss and the Over came through on the National Anthem, as Jordin Sparks made the most of her time on national TV and came through with an extended version of the song. Sparks to go Over received plenty of betting action, as the line opened at Over 1:42 -120 and closed at Over 1:48 -140.
Eli Manning paid off at a nice +350 to win the Super Bowl MVP and Laurence Maroney scores the first touchdown at +550. Those who took Plaxico Burress to score the final TD of the game were paid off to the tune of +800.

Our final recap of Super Bowl plays is up in the Free Sports Betting Picks in the Sports Gambling 101 section of the site.
