SBR.tv's Peter Loshak, Justin7 and Bob Harvey give some opinions and insights into Super Bowl 44, and address some issues brought up by SBR posters. In last year's Super Bowl preview, all three agreed on the side with value, which turned out to be a winner. Will there be a similar consensus this year?
Part 1: General Summary and Recent Performance
In Part 1 of the SBR.tv Super Bowl 44 preview, Loshak summarizes the key issues and circumstances surrounding the game, and then the panel discusses the significance of the starkly different ways the two teams have played over the past month and a half. Some see the Saints' recent struggles vs the Colts' impressive excellence in the playoffs as being indicative of a major edge for the Colts, while others see it as possibly conferring line value to the Saints as a result of an overreaction by the betting public. Quotes from SBR posters THEGREAT30, coldhardfacts, and Rio DiNero are cited.
Part 2: On-Field Factors
In Part 2, the panel discusses various on-field offensive and defensive factors involved in capping the Super Bowl. Do the Saints have an "opportunistic" defense that will cause Peyton Manning trouble? Or will Manning's impressive ability to avoid sacks and turnovers neutralize the Saints' D's apparent abilities? Is the Colts' defense over- or underrated? Are the Saints more balanced on offense and if so, how much is that likely to matter? These are some of the issues discussed, helped along with quotes from SBR posters amblai01 and Mr Handicapable.
Part 3: Betting the Lines
In Part 3, the panel turns their attention to the betting lines, examining the spread, money line, and total. Everyone gives their pick on the spread, and possible value on the total and on a spread/money line hedge are noted. A quote from SBR poster msec512 is cited.
