One of the biggest days of the sporting calendar is upon us. Today the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
I have to say that I am NY Jets fan and it has been a sad season for us. The only silver lining to that fact (and the fact that the Jets have been out of the season for some time) is that I have been able to take a close look at the final series this year more than most years.
I am very keen on the Seattle Seahawks in this fixture. I know the Patriots have Brady but I sense they have been distracted this fortnight with all that has gone on in “Deflategate”.
The Seahawks have had a near perfect preparation and are the defending champions. They are the unquestioned best defensive unit in the NFL.
Defence wins big matches like this and if the Seahawks defence get to Brady I can’t see the Patriots having a plan B to turn to.
To me, therefore, the best bet is the Seahawks to win this one straight out. I will be taken the $2 on offer for this result.
The other bet type of interest for me is the total game score. Last year I took the “under” mark and lost after Seahawks ran away with the game. Both of these teams can score points and that has been leaning towards the “over” bet with the median line 47.5 points.
Enjoy Super Bowl Sunday (or Monday) wherever you are watching. If you are having a bet: good luck!!!

NFL Championship Games Selections
The Super Bowl is not far away but before then there are two cracking games tomorrow for the NFC and AFC Championships.
NFC Championship Game
This fixture pits the Seattle Seahawks against the Green Bay Packers. The Seahawks are the reigning Super Bowl Champions and the prohibitive favourites in this game. The Packers are hoping their hobbled QB Aaron Rodgers can get through the game. Neither team looks like they have a lot of points in them so I am keen to take the unders on the total game score in this one.
Tip: Total game score less than 46.50 points.
AFC Championship Game
In the AFC the New England Patriots host the Indianapolis Colts. The young bull, Andrew Luck, faces the old bull, Tom Brady, and a mouthwatering match up of two fantastic quarterbacks. The Patriots are playing in their sixth straight play off series and have the experience and the home crowd behind them which makes me think they will best the young Colts here and end up winning by at least a touchdown.
Tip: New England Patriots to cover the line (-7 points) against the Indianapolis Colts.
If you put these two tips together and win your return will be $3.65.

Monday Multi
It has been a while since I posted a multi bet here, largely because I have been too busy with work to even consider looking at the form. As I have been laid up with a bad back and a migraine over the weekend I had time to get back into the American sports form and have come with this 3 leg multi today that I am quite keen on:
Houston Rockets – Line (-5) @ 1.91 Houston Rockets @ Oklahoma City Thunder (NBA)
New England Patriots – Line (2.5) @ 2.05 New England Patriots @ Indianapolis Colts (NFL)
Anaheim Ducks – Handicap (-1.5) @ 2.60 Florida Panthers @ Anaheim Ducks (NHL)
This multi will pay around the $10 mark for every dollar invested.
