Ugh!! What a garbage Super Bowl, unless you are in to watching offenses struggle and halftime acts that were huge ten years ago. Sure you can say the commercials were better than last year, but did any of them really move the public needle? Naw, didn't think so. If that wasn't bad enough, there was even controversy on some of the prop bets, most notably when did Lady Gaga's national anthem end?? The first time she said "and the home of the brave"?? Or the second?? Some sites are paying the under, others the over. All in all, not a very memorable 50th, but it does allow us as a nation to get refocused on the one thing that truly matters....nailing NBA picks!!
CHI +6.5 vs. CHA
Apparently Vegas is giving the Bulls no chance to win this game because they will be playing without their star Jimmy Butler. Personally, I like the rest of the Bulls roster just enough to not only cover this line, but to eek out a victory. Pau Gasol has more basketball talent in his ring finger, than the entire Hornets front line and I expect that to play out on the court tonight. Look for Rose to have a big game in Jimmy's absence, and for Pau to go off for 35 and 15 in a throwback Pau performance.
SAC +12.5 vs. CLE
If you have watched the Cavaliers play lately, it seems like they thought the All-star break was this last weekend instead of this weekend, because they have been on straight cruise control. They play like a team that knows they have the one seed locked down and are only getting up for big games anymore. Meanwhile, it doesn't matter who else is on the floor, or who is coaching, Cousins is going to show up and put up numbers. I fully expect the Cavs to sleepwalk through most of this game, only turning it on in the fourth in order to squeeze out a 5-10 point victory.
OKC -13.5 vs. PHX
Damn I would not want to be the Suns tonight. KD and Rus have had two days now to stew over that surprisingly close lose the other night in Oakland, and I am sure they are ready to get the next game underway to help get that taste out of their mouth. Expect a classic Rus and KD type of game tonight in the valley, as both players go for 25, 10 and 5.

Super Bowl XLIX
Super Bowl Props
Player to record first Seahawks reception in the game:
Marshawn Lynch 11/2
This is one of the safer props on the board! The Seahawks rarely go downfield and Darrell Bevell's terrible play calling usually calls for a dumb screen or HB route that won't go anywhere to get Wilson started.
Player to record the first interception in the game:
Byron Maxwell 14/1
B-Max has been great this year and a lot of people have not noticed. When Richard Sherman is on the other side of the field, you're going to be targeted a lot, but Maxwell has handled the pressure well. If the Hawks put Simon or Lane on the outside, B-Max will have the Pats' slot receiver locked down.
Super Bowl MVP
Bobby Wagner 50/1
Last year saw Malcolm Smith win the MVP and if the Seahawks can dominate defensively AGAIN this year, Wagner will be the beneficiary. Wagz will be shadowing Gronk most of the game while laying the wood on "Smokin" Blounts. If Wagner has 12 tackles, a forced fumble and a pick 6 (realistic) he'll easily win MVP.
Player to score the first TD in the game
Jermaine Kearse 16/1
Tom Brady 25/1
Kearse has been a big time target for Wilson this year (unfortunately for Seahawk fans) and this is a good value bet if you have an extra $5 or $10 spot laying around. Brady is an awesome bet. At one point he was 97% on QB sneaks! If they get down to the 1, they will not be tentative like the Packers.

The First Score of the Game will Be?
—Seattle Safety (33/1)
Are you betting on the SUPER BOWL or are you betting on the super bowl? That’s the only question that matters. Don’t be the guy, sitting on his cousin’s friend’s couch, wishing he had put some cash money on the first points being the safety for seattle line. Who’s going to dominate this game? AMERICA is, that’s who. “Let’s win this one for New England, America, and the Patriots.” - Belly’s most probably pre game speech.
Will Marshawn Lynch Grab His Crotch After Scoring a TD?
— YES (+220)
MARSHAWN “I don’t care who you are” Lynch! Grabbing dicks all over the place. Do you really think Lynch won conduct the “hold muh dick” celly if he breaks loose for a TD?!
