Super Bowl 47 Betting Preview

It is one of the biggest sporting spectacles on the planet and this Sunday over an estimated 100 million viewers will tune in live to watch the Baltimore Ravens fight it out with the San Fransico 49ers for the title of Super Bowl XLVII (47) champions.

Band of Brothers

The Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans is the setting for this year’s Super Bowl XLVII and just to add that extra edge we’ll have two brothers waging war on either side of the pitch.

John Harbaugh (Head Coach of the Baltimore Ravens) and Jim Harbaugh (Head Coach of the San Fransisco 49ers) brotherly love for each other might be tested-to-the-max as they plan to outmanoeuvre the other with the prize of Super Bowl awaiting the victor!

The San Fransico 49ers are odds-on favourites to win Super Bowl 47 with Betvictor offering best betting odds of 11/20 that the west coat team will return victorous from New Orleans.

However, you cannot discount the Baltimore Ravens in this campaign. They went into the Denver Broncos heartland and won! They also outmuscled the Patriots in their own backdoor and won. Which is why the 13/8 price from Boylesports for the Ravens to win Super Bowl 47 is very tempting indeed.

It’s a tale of two Quaterbacks when we consider the Super Bowl 47 MVP betting

Colin Kaepernick is the 49ers quarterback who is now in his second year with the franchise. One thing that Kaepernick has in his locker that most other QB’s don’t – is his speed! There are a lot better throwing-quaterbacks out there than Kaepernick but his ability to avoid being sacked thanks mainly to his quick feet and quick thinking stands him out from the rest.

William Hill are offering 6/4 on Colin Kaepernick getting voted Super Bowl 47 MVP.

Then we move onto Joe Flacco of the Baltimore Ravens. His ethos is more on ‘the team’ than singling himself out for attention. But this quarterback can throw and his post-season record is proof that he’s just getting better and better : 54.8% pass rate for a gain of 853 yards, eight touchdowns throws and zero interceptions. The previous five quarterbacks who had similar post-season records as Flacco’s all won the Super Bowl and also the MVP award.

It seems a Ravens and Flacco MVP success is written in the stats!

Ladbrokes are offering 3/1 on Joe Flacco getting voted Super Bowl 47 MVP.
