NFL SUPERBOWL XLVIII-              

BEST BET-
San Francisco 49ERS
Odds: $8 at Sportsbet
          $8 at Luxbet
          $8.80 at Betfair

The San Francisco 49ers are so good on both sides of the ball and, apart from Pittsburgh, they run the best 3-4 defense in the NFL. If Colin Kapernick can stay healthy the 49ers will be tough to beat come February.

VALUE BET
Atlanta Falcons
Odds: $15 at Sportsbet
          $16 at Luxbet
          $18 at Betfair

Atlanta Falcons are our ‘value choice’. Matt Ryan is often back seat to QB's such as Aaron Rodgers,Tom Brady and Peyton Manning but Ryan's numbers are incredible. He beat a very tough Seahawks team in the divisional playoffs and only lost to the 49ers by 4 points (28 -24) last season. Falcons and Ryan will be hungry and they are running out of time.

College Football BCS National Championship                   

VALUE BETS:

Georgia Bulldogs
Odds: $21 at Sportsbet
          $17 at Luxbet
          $20 at Betfair

Stanford Cardinals
Odds: $26 at Sportsbet
          $26 at Luxbet
          $21 at Betfair

Picking a BCS National Champion seems like a one-sided affair according to bookies in Vegas. The SEC have 5/10 teams ranked in the Top 10 in all recent polls. Alabama sit on top of everyone’s polls and are heavy favorites @ $3.75 to win their third title in a row. Vegas already have Alabama favoured by double digits in every game except the Texas A&M encounter. These odds are just too short.

Its football. It’s a long season. Punters need to take into account that Alabama lost three offensive lineman to the NFL (these weren’t just your run-of-the-mill big men). They do however have a plethora of talent at running backs and receivers. They also a pretty good captain steering the ship in AJ McCarron, so we are not completely disagreeing with Vegas. They will win a lot of games but to win a third championship in a row would be un-believable.

The Georgia Bulldogs match up so well against them and nearly knocked them off last year and we like them as a value choice to go all the way, along with the Stanford Cardinals being another smokey choice.
