With over 150 markets on one of the world sport's biggest nights of the year, Paddy Power have something for the Superbowl veterans, newcomers, and for those that only manage to stay up late on a Sunday night for the early skirmishes. Match Betting Whilst the Saints and the Colts had been as big as 33/1 and 12/1, respectively, Superbowl betting punters are now significantly leaning towards the outsiders New Orleans to win their first ever Superbowl on Sunday at odds of 7/4 (2.75). The favourites Indianapolis are 10/21 (1.47). Pundits are fully expecting a Superbowl shootout as Peyton Manning and Drew Brees take to the air and as a result the bookies are expecting a particularly high scoring Superbowl. Paddy Power have raised their total points betting in the game to 10/11 (1.90) over or under a whopping 56.5 points. The American's love a Hollywood story and Indianapolis Colts receiver Pierre Garcon's Haitian roots have attracted attention. Becoming somewhat of a go-to man in the AFC Championship game with a record 11 catches for 151 yards Garcon is 11/1 to score the first touchdown and 25/1 for MVP. The Colts' Peyton Manning is the 4/6 (1.66) favourite to be the MVP as he lines up against the team his own father Archie once led as Quarterback. Razzamatazz Wagers For those that enjoy the razzamatazz it's just 10/11 (190) that the game's MVP thanks God before his team mates and family whilst Paddy Power also bet how long it takes Carrie Underwood to single the national anthem. As with most American warblers in the spotlight they like to put their own unique slant on the anthem, turning a simple note into a lung-buster. Underwood is 6/4 (2.5) to take between 106 and 120 seconds to sing the Star Spangled Banner and 10/1 she extends her moment in the spotlight to over 135 seconds. The Who's halftime show will be watched by millions around the world and it's just 4/11 (1.36) the British band opens with their favourite curtain-raiser 'I Can't Explain'. And following Janet Jackson's mishap of a few years ago, Paddy Power are betting on who will be the first to have a wardrobe malfunction this time round. Carrie Underwood is the 7/2 (4.5) favourite with Pete Townshend at 4/1. |
