Good luck betting the Big Game.

If it came down to my money riding on an Octopus vs. some other animal picking the winner, I'm ride-or-die Octopus.

Depends on those injured KC players. If we get some positive updates, then this could go to pick'em. I think there are plenty of public players who would jump on Mahomes & Co. as underdogs too. When the odds opened and the move went to Eagles -2.5, I said this could very well come back and close KC -1. It was the lookahead line before championship games and many books opened SBLVII with KC as big as -1.5.

Kelce, especially if the KC WRs are thin. He could score a TD or two and that's MVP material. He's out there 13/1 at some books, which is good when compared to odds of +850 elsewhere.

The WR injuries for KC could impact the Chiefs game plan. Andy Reid was optimistic JuJu could be back at practice once they return. They may not be able to stretch the field if they're missing some deep threats.

61.5 is a good number for Smith Over, as he's out there as big as 65.5. Sneed's health is big for this one. Concussions are tough to gauge his recovery.

Die instantly or eventually?

I think my max at one time was 3, and I heard angels afterwards. I think it was angels. Could have been my gut crying.

It's the best deal in the world and I have a weakness for the dollar HDs.

Nope. You could have gotten the Eagles around +4,000 to win the Super Bowl before the start of the season, while Chiefs were +750 range. Now the Super Bowl moneyline is Eagles -125/Chiefs +105.

As for the silly bets you can make on the Super Bowl circus, I know some offshore operators will allow wagering on commercials. Like, which one will air first: Bud Light or Doritos. Wild stuff.

Same thing they've done all year: get out to an early lead. Philly has been so good out of the blocks and in first halves, that opponents have to abandon their playbook and go pass-heavy to catch up. The Eagles' run game then chokes them out in the 2H, grinding out first downs on the ground and eating up the clock/possession. When KC does have the ball, you've got to protect against any deeper passes and limit Mahomes to short/intermediate throws and get good pressure with the front four, which Philly has done all year. Easier said than done however.

If we're talking the Octopus that picks games, I don't know if I can compete with that thing. They're crazy smart and can fit themselves into a pickle jar. I have a hard time getting into most cars.

The Bolts made the right move in dumping Lombardi and as a Cowboys fans, Kellen Moore comes with some positives as an OC. He should have Herbert slinging it all over the place. You guys just gotta stay healthy and hope Mahomes gets bored. GL!

Are we talking about Octopus props (player scores TD/2pt) or that famous Octopus that predicted the Super Bowl winner?

The quick version of this is a legal book would be licensed, regulated and monitored under a gaming control board (state by state) in a state that allows for sports betting. An illegal book wouldn't be licensed and fall under those regulations or would be operating/taking money in a state that doesn't allow for betting. These illegal books are usually operated outside of the country's borders, like offshore. We have a great industry news page on Covers that gets into all the ins and outs of this.

Betting too much and on too much. Just because it's a big game doesn't mean you need to bet big. Always risk what you're comfortable losing and narrow down your wagers to the ones you feel best about.

I didn't take KC live ML against the Niners a few years back. You knew they were coming back and outscored them 21-0 in the 4Q. I was dumb not to jump on the in-game odds.

I always toss something on water/clear, because I know there will be a jug of water on the sideline. It used to come up a lot, but you've got to think Gatorade has some deal in place now. So team colors would be live (Red/Green). Water is out there at 5/1.

Given the injuries to the other KC WRs, his receptions and yardage props aren't live yet. I will be looking at his Overs if some WRs sit out.

Skyy Moore is one that could be really good - or really bad. We've seen him struggle with fumbles this year but his speed could break off a big one, either on special teams or receiving.

I got it at +140 when it opened and I think it closed -120 at an online book.

Sorry, I read "comfortable". Memorable would be taking Timberlake to cover a Prince Song at the Super Bowl in Minnesota a few years back. He played "I would die for you" which was awesome. Big Prince fan.
