Super Bowl 2010 totals betting had an OVER/UNDER of 56 ½ at Hollywood Sportsbook.com heading into Thursday evening. This line had moved up to 57 at some online sportsbooks. Just shy of 75 percent backing was on the OVER, which is quite impressive considering this is the biggest total number ever assigned to a Super Bowl.
Jeff Frank of the Sports Network points some interesting facts out that should be considered prior to this year's Super Bowl totals betting:
"For those keeping track of such statistics, the previous high came two years ago when the Patriots-Giants game was set at 54.5 and we all know how that turned out.
"Looking back at previous final scores, it's interesting to note that none of the last five Super Bowls have finished higher than 50. Moreover, only two of the last 14 have totaled more than 57.
"It's true the two clubs in this year's matchup are offensive machines, but I severely doubt both teams will score in the thirties or that one squad will pull away to a 35-24 victory.
"Super Bowl XLIV will be a very tight game from start to finish so go with the underdog Saints and the under as the main wagers."
