Teams arrive in Texas and the Packers continue to attract support
Published:As the Green Bay Packers charter plane landed in Dallas last night, the three-time Super Bowl winners continue to attract all the money in the Super Bowl betting.
The Packers are 1/1 in the point spread betting and are available at 2/3 to win on the money line, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are finding market confidence hard to come by as the Super Bowl draws nearer.
The Steelers are steady at 13/10 on the money line to win the Super Bowl and are available at 5/6 with a point spread of plus three.
New customers to Labrokes wishing to have a bet on the Super Bowl can sign up here for a free Super Bowl bet worth £25.
The reason for the continued support for the Packers is their unrivalled form on an indoor surface.
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy has won 11 of his 17 games indoors and the last time the Packers featured under a roof, they racked up 48 points.
Its 10/11 that the Super Bowl produces over 44.5 points, and 12 of the last 20 Super Bowl’s have produced over 44.5 points, although you have to go back six years to find a Super Bowl that has topped 50 points.
The Packers scored 90 points in their three play-off games and the Steelers managed 55 in their two play-off games, but It’s worth taking the 1/1 for under 7.5 points in the first quarter as teams can struggle with the pressure of the Super Bowl before warming up.
As it’s the Packers first Super Bowl since 1998 – the Steelers have won two in the last five years – it will be a new experience for most of the Packers team.
But the two highest scoring games in the last 10 years only totalled six points in the first quarter and the second and fourth quarters are, on average, the highest scoring.
A £25 stake on the Packers to lead in the fourth quarter but lose the game would return £100. New customers can sign up here for a free bet worth £25.
