When you write a weekly piece called “NFL Underdogs”, your anticipated Super Bowl bet is typecast worse than Samuel L. Jackson.
“You must love the Bengals, eh?”
No, Shawn, I don’t. You jerk.
That’s right, after 18 weeks and three rounds of postseason pups, I’m done taking the points and riding with the Los Angeles Rams as 4-point favorites in our Super Bowl picks.
It’s a heel turn normally seen in professional wrestling, but it doesn’t mean I’m bailing on backing every Super Bowl underdog. Given the massive menu of Big Game betting options, there are several alternative Super Bowl odds and Super Bowl player prop markets promising plus-money payouts — or underdogs — in terms of implied probability.
So, while the final column of the season (finishing 31-28 ATS) isn’t the usual offering, the process and the mission are still the same: back some dogs with bite.
Good luck with all your Super Bowl 56 bets — favorites or underdogs — and thank you for following along this season. Enjoy the halftime show.
