SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #389
SUPER OVER/UNDERThe NFL season comes to an end with the SUPER BOWL on Sunday. It's been a long and fun season. There has to be one last NFL contest... so, time for another
OVER/UNDERFor those that don't remember, OVER/UNDER is a classic betting term. It's a bet that has nothing to do with who will win the game. Instead, you are betting on whether the
TOTAL number of points (or goals, or runs, or whatever) scored by
BOTH TEAMS will be OVER or UNDER a certain target number. So when you hear somebody say, "the over/under for this football game is 56.5, that means the target number is 56.5
Anybody betting the
OVER is betting that a total of 57 or more points will be scored by both teams in the game
Anybody betting the
UNDER is betting that a total of 56 or less points will be scored by both teams in the game
For this edition of OVER/UNDER, we will be asking you to make two predictions
First, you have to predict who will win the game
Second, you have to predict whether the total number of points scored by both teams will be OVER or UNDER the target number
To win your share of the pool, you have to correctly predict
BOTHINFORMATION
ODDS TO WINLos Angeles Rams 46% vs. New England Patriots 54%When the odds opened on this game two weeks ago, the Rams were actually favored by one point.
But within a matter of hours, the betting public convinced Vegas they were wrong. The Patriots are now favored by 2 points and that number may go up some more as game time approaches. It's a classic story of the experienced masters (the Patriots) going up against the young upstarts (the Rams). While Vegas considers the Rams to have the slightly better team, the bettors don't agree... Do you?
