Best Bet of the Week (Season Record 11-9)
Atlanta (+3.5) vs New England – Sal’s buying half a point here. Patriots have the best defense in the league in terms of points scored against, while the Falcons scored the most points this season, so this is a tough call. Sal expects this game to come down to the final drive. Patriots are 1-4 in their last 5 Super Bowls, with the only win against THAT Seahawks team. Sal’s putting $1000 on the Falcons to cover +3.5.
Other Best Bets (Season record 21-20)
Here are Cousin Sal’s “Superb Bowl” prop bets
Player to score first touchdown of the game
- Julian Edelman (+750)
- Taylor Gabriel (+1500)
- Mohamad Sanu (+1200)
A wide receiver has scored the first TD in the last 5 Super Bowls, Sal’s putting $200 on each of these 3 players on the first touchdown prop.
- Yes (-240), that there will be a score in the final two minutes of the second quarter. 6 of the last 8 Super Bowls there has been at least a score in the last two minutes of the first half, it also has happened in Falcon’s last 3 games and Patriots’ last 4 games. Sal’s putting $1200 to win $500 that there will be a score in the last two minutes of the first half.
- Over 2 receptions (-140) for Dion Lewis. He has caught at least 2 balls in 7 of his last 9 games. Brady will be doing a lot of short passes against a pretty good Atlanta pass rush. Sal’s putting $700 to win $500 on Lewis getting over 2 catches.
