Super bowl Odds

Hi friends. Today I am going to share my thoughts on the Super bowl Odds. So basically what is the meaning of Super bowl? According to Wikipedia Super bowl is the championship game of the NFL (National Football League, since 1967), the premier association of professional American football.
If we focus on the history of Super bowl Odds then we will notice that the early odds for Super bowl was the AFC team to beat NFC by about 10 points. This spread has been trashed as the Colts losing to the Steelers. The Colts are well known about their performance. They always knew as high explosive offense who can win their games by huge difference. And even with them having been the favorite to make it to the Super bowl, the spread was 10.
Though the Steelers are very legitimate AFC teams but the overall public perception goes way long in inducing NFL Super Bowl Odds. I think LV (Las Vegas) may go to shade the line on the public team in super bowl. It’s also true that if Steelers made it to the super bowl then they could even be underdogs to the Seattle Seahawks.
If anyone see early betting lines like this AFC -10, to go against the public perception. I will suggest you to take NFC at +10. The reason behind this is that, the line was completely formulated based on the assumption the Indianapolis Colts were making it to the Super bowl. There is value if they do not. With a Broncos and Steelers matchup possibly being a 3-7 point spread, you can take the AFC team and hope for a middling situation. A middling situation is when you both on both sides of a game and win both of them.
