Record TV audiences are expected to watch live coverage of Superbowl XLII in the UK, with the action being shown live on BBC and Skysports. The sport has seen tremendous growth in popularity in recent year’s and there is a Press Conference being held on Friday to announce the venue and teams of next season’s regular NFL game being played in England following the success of last season’s game between the Superbowl bound New York Giants and Miami Dolphins. Bookmakers are also expecting this to be the biggest ever Superbowl for betting.
Bet365 are offering over 60 different betting markets on the Superbowl, ranging from traditional bets such as who will win the Superbowl, handicap betting and the total number of points scored in the game to more unusual and fun bets such as which team will win the coin toss, number of first downs each team will make as well as which player will score the fist or any touchdown in the game.
The New England Patriots are the short price favourites to win their fourth Superbowl title in five years at odds of 1/5 whilst the New York Giants are the 4/1. The two sides met in week 17 of the regular season and the Patriots came from behind to win on that occasion but the New York Giants have shown improvement in each of their three NFC play off games to get to Superbowl and this game could be much closer than the betting odds suggest. Giants Quarter Back Eli Manning has really come of age in recent games and will be looking to following in the footstep of his brother who lifted the Superbowl with the Indianapolis Colts last season and is 13/2 to be this year’s Superbowl MVP whilst Patriots Quarter Back, Tom Brady will be looking to claim the MVP award at odds of 4/9.
