For years and years, the debate has raged about QB Joe Flacco and whether or not he should be considered an elite quarterback or not. He doesn’t have the numbers of a truly elite star, but he has made it here to battle it out on the Super Bowl 47 odds, and this year, he has bested some of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. Check out some of the Joe Flacco Super Bowl props available at SportBet Sportsbook

Passing Yards Over/Under 235.5: Flacco threw for 240, 331, and 282 in his three respective playoff games, and he did show against some pretty darn good defenses. This time around, he gets a San Francisco ‘D’ that has looked shoddy at times in the second season, but generally has been awesome over the course of the whole year, ranking fourth in the league. This is a big hill to climb for Flacco, and we think that getting +130 on this number of yards seems to be a nice price.

Will Flacco Throw an Interception?: Flacco is playing the best ball of his career, and for all intents and purposes, it has been basically five full games worth of game time since he has thrown a pick. The 49ers haven’t been as ball hawking in the secondary as you might think this year, especially of late. -155 says that Flacco will toss one to a guy wearing the wrong color, but +135 seems to be the better of the options.

Flacco Throws a TD Pass or an INT first?: Again, we question as to whether Flacco really is going to throw a pick or not in this game. He has taken such good care of the football that we think we have to stick with him to toss a touchdown before a pick, though that -210 price is a bit steep for our preference.

Pass Attempts Over/Under 33.5: You have to think that the Ravens are going to play this game from behind at some point, just off of the NFL betting lines, and that would insinuate that Flacco is going to toss it at least 34 times. However, he threw it just 34 times against the Broncos, and there were over five quarters of football played in that game. With OC Jim Caldwell calling the shots, it’ll be more run and less pass in the Super Bowl.

Longest Completion Over/Under 41.5 Yards: We saw the Falcons tear this secondary up for big time passes in the NFC Championship Game, but that just isn’t going to be the case this time around. Flacco does throw some deep balls, but not as often as it seems. Plus, the likelihood that Flacco hits a pass like the one he did to Jacoby Jones that forced the game in Denver to overtime isn’t all that good. This is just too many yards to expect Flacco to uncork one.

TD Passes Over/Under 1.5: The 49ers are tough to throw on, and they’re tough to score on, too. However, the Falcons did the job in the NFC title game, and Flacco has just been absolutely on fire over the course of the last several weeks. It’s only +100 for him to throw more than one TD in this one, and we think that there’s a decent chance of greater than 50/50 that he does find the end zone through the air twice.

Rushing Yards Over/Under 3.5: Over the course of the last two games, Flacco has a total of 19 rushing yards, which sort of insinuates that he is going to get on the go at least a couple of times in this game. However, we’re really not all that sure that he is going to have the ability to do that. Remember that he had a negative number of rushing yards against five of his final six foes in the regular season, and he had -3 yards against the Colts, too.

Scores a Rushing Touchdown?: Let’s be realistic here about Flacco. He isn’t rushing for a touchdown in this game. He did so three times over the course of the season, and that now covers 19 games. However, do some quick math here. Three rushing touchdowns divided by 19 games means that Flacco has found his way into the end zone in one out of 6+ games. That +525 price doesn’t seem so bad when you look at it that way, and it seems better than a -750 price seems.

QB Colin Kaepernick for the San Francisco 49ers is one of the most dynamic players in the entire league. Check out some of the Colin Kaepernick prop bets that are on the board right now to bet a 5Dimes Sportsbook

Passing Yards Over/Under 218.5: For all of the great things that Kaepernick has done over the course of the last three months or so, one of the things that he hasn’t always done well is throw the football. Sure, he threw for 233 yards against the Falcons and 263 against the Packers in his first two starts, but a lot of what he was doing was throwing the ball down the field to WR Michael Crabtree and TE Vernon Davis. In the end, he has only been asked to throw the ball a total of 52 times here in the second season. In spite of the fact that Kaepernick has been beyond this number in his last five games, we aren’t all that sure that this isn’t a 50/50 proposition. You can get the ‘under’ 218.5 at +135.

Will Kaepernick Throw an Interception?: Yes is a -120 proposition, while No chimes in at +100, essentially making this a 50/50 call. And that’s about right. Kaepernick has had four games in his last eight in which he has tossed at least one interception. It seems fitting to us that the ferocious Baltimore secondary is going to get at least one off of the youngster, and -120 is about the right price to make us want to bet on him to get picked off.

Kaepernick Throws a TD Pass or an INT first?: It’s not all that often that Kaepernick gets picked off, but if you’re a believer that he will in this game, you have to think that there is at least a one in three chance that he will get intercepted before he throws a touchdown pass. If this is what you believe, you have to take the INT first at +235.

Pass Attempts Over/Under 27.5: There really hasn’t been a heck of a lot that Kaepernick has been asked to do, and the fact that we can bet on him to average fewer than eight passes per quarter over the course of this game at +105 seems to be a great bet to us.

Longest Completion Over/Under 40.5 Yards: Kaepernick has taken plenty of shots down the field, and he makes a lot of that happen with his legs. We’ve seen this Baltimore secondary get nailed for some big ones over the course of the last several weeks, and we have to think that there will be at least a few passes, probably right at the beginning of the game, where Kaepernick goes for broke. At least one should cover at least 41 yards, and +105 says that that will happen at least half the time.

TD Passes Over/Under 1.5: With the way that Kaepernick runs the ball and the way that RB Frank Gore runs it near the goal line, it’s tough to think that there are going to be oodles of touchdowns to go around for the 49ers’ passing game. We definitely think that one is a good possibility, but a second touchdown pass seems to be asking for a lot from a man that is only going to throw it 20-25 times in our eyes in the game. ‘Under’ 1.5 at -125 feels like an awesome price.

Rushing Attempts Over/Under 6.5: It seems like a slam dunk to think that Kaepernick is going to run the ball at least seven times in this game, but remember that Atlanta forced him to only run it twice. The Ravens will be watching that tape over and over again over the course of the last two weeks to try to figure out keep him in the pocket.

Rushing Yards Over/Under 43.5: Don’t do it! It’s a trap! We said that last week when Kaepernick’s over/under was 63.5 yards, and we’re saying it again, especially since we can get +140 on him to not go beyond this number. Kaepernick hasn’t gotten beyond 31 yards rushing in four of his last five games.

Scores a Rushing Touchdown?: Here’s where the price is really right for us. Kaepernick had a rushing touchdown just twice as a starter prior to the playoffs, and he didn’t have a single rushing score in any of his final three games of the regular season. We know that he is capable of doing damage, but even at -160, we have to think that Kaepernick isn’t going to score.

The Alicia Keys National Anthem for the Super Bowl is one of the most talked about topics right now for entertainment junkies going into the week of the big game. She promises us a very special rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, and that could make for some interesting Super Bowl prop bets for sure.

Alicia Keys National Anthem Over/Under 2:15: This is one of the awesome props on the board and is one to keep a very close eye on. Just naturally, one would think that this is the Super Bowl and that the performers get all amped up and hold some notes and words out a bit longer than normal. However, even as the performances have gotten more and more elaborate, the song is still designed to be sung in roughly 1:35. Over the course of the last several years, the Super Bowl National Anthem times have been 2:07, 1:54, 1:56, 1:33, 1:55, 1:40, 2:08, 2:10, 1:35, and 1:56, and the 1:56 was the Whitney Houston Super Bowl National Anthem. Going beyond that 2:15 mark is going to be a hefty order.

Will Alicia Keys Be Booed During or After the National Anthem?: There is only a “yes” option at Bovada, which really doesn’t do us a heck of a lot of good. If Christina Aguilera didn’t get booed when she left words out of the National Anthem, there’s very little chance that Keys is going to get booed unless she just totally screws the pooch.

Will Alicia Keys Forget or Omit at Least One Word of the Official National Anthem?: Thanks, Christina. If she didn’t blow an entire verse of the anthem, perhaps we wouldn’t be in this position where we would be talking about performers taking words out of the song. Of course, there’s something to be said about the fact that Keys is promising some sort of special rendition, the likes of which we have never heard before, and that might at least make this prop worth watching, though we have to think that there is a significantly better chance that she puts all the words in than leaves some of the words out.

Will Alicia Keys Add at Least One New Word to the Official National Anthem?: Here’s something that’s a little more interesting. Keys is a heck of a performer, and she has been known to cross the line every now and again to do some very interesting renditions of songs. We’re not all that sure where Keys would be adding a word, but who the heck knows with her?

Super Bowl 47 is almost here! Today, we’re making our Superbowl halftime show prop picks for all of the crazy things that Beyonce might ultimately do when she does her Super Bowl 47 halftime show in New Orleans.

Will Beyonce Have Straight Hair (+100) or Curly/Crimped Hair (-140)?: What we have to remember about this prop is that this is just at the beginning of the show. If by chance, Beyonce has herself a makeover in the middle of the show, it’s not like both bets can win. This started off as a 50/50 proposition at the start of the week, and the action has moved on curly or crimped.

Will Beyonce Be Joined By Jay Z (+110) or Not (-150) During Superbowl Halftime Show?: The two lovebirds famously named their child Blue Ivy, but the oddsmakers don’t necessarily think that the two will be on stage together at any point during the show. We’re not all that sure. We have seen Super Bowl halftime shows feature one group and ultimately see another come on stage at some point before, and if there is anyone that is going to join Beyonce up there, it’s clearly going to be Jay Z.

What Will Beyonce’s Predominant Hair Color Be at the Beginning of the Super Bowl Halftime Show?: There are several options here. Black (9/4) is the decided favorite, but there are a number of other options as well. We really don’t put anything past Beyonce, and we wouldn’t be surprised if she puts on a number of different looks to her hair over the course of this show if she gets some time to slip to the back. Other options include Gold/Yellow (11/4), Silver/Grey (7/2), White (5/1), Red (13/2), Pink (15/2), Orange (12/1), Blue (15/1), and Green (15/1).

Will Beyonce Use a Microphone (+175) or a Headset (-250) First?: The explanation for this one is quite simple. Most halftime performers that are solo acts at the Super Bowl start from behind a prop or backstage and walk their way out to the forefront, rather than just starting there. Sure, there is a chance that Beyonce could be coming out from the back with a microphone in her hands, but with this type of technology, a headset seems a heck of a lot more appropriate.

Will Beyonce Be Showing Cleavage (-500) or Not (+300) During Her First Song?: This is Beyonce that we are talking about. This is one of the hottest girls on the planet, and it is a girl that has as banging body. There’s no way that she’s going to cover her girls when she comes onto the stage. None whatsoever. Even though this is a sucker type of bet at -500, we still think that it is clearly the right side to be on.

The New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens are set to continue the 2013 NFL playoffs, and as a part of our analysis of the AFC Championship Game betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial clash.

Joe Flacco Over/Under 34.5 Pass Attempts: Flacco attempted 523 passes in his first 15 games of the season (we’ll throw out Week 17 when he played just two drives against the Cincinnati Bengals), an average of 34.9 pass attempts per game. Over the course of the last several weeks since Jim Caldwell took over as the team’s offensive coordinator, the run game has been a significantly bigger part of the game. So forget about the fact that Joe Cool put the ball in the air 39 times when these two met the first time, and forget about that average. Instead, look at the fact that Flacco threw the ball 34 times last week against the Denver Broncos… in a game which lasted over five quarters and the team played catch up for a good chunk of the second half. The Baltimore defense is just on the field for too many plays right now, 87 in each of the last two weeks, for Flacco to get to this type of a number of pass attempts. Joe Flacco Under 34.5 Pass Attempts (+100)

Will Ray Rice Score a Touchdown?: This seems to be an odd line. Rice only at -140 to score a touchdown? That basically insinuates that he is only going to score in nine of the 16 games in the regular season, and about 10 of the 18 that he has played this year including the playoffs. Again, throw out Week 17, and Rice has 10 TDs scored in eight games this year. Still, one of those touchdowns came against these Patriots, and it feels as though the team has to get close enough to the goal line for Rice to get in. Remember that last year, Rice had 15 total touchdowns in his 16 games, and we think that he has a lot better than a 60/40 chance to find pay dirt against a sometimes suspect New England defense. Ray Rice To Score a Touchdown (-140)

Ray Lewis Over/Under 9.5 Tackles: We apologize to the big man out of Miami, but asking for Ray Ray to get to 10 tackles in this game is tough. A lot of the tackles made against the Patriots are done so in open space and are more often done by safeties than anything else. (For that reason, Ed Reed Over 5.5 Tackles is probably a great play.) Yes, Lewis has had 13 and 17 tackles in his two playoff games, and yes, he had at least 10 tackles in four of his six games before getting injured, but a lot of that came against teams that prefer to run the football. This is more of a high octane passing attack that gets the ball out on the edges and doesn’t run the ball inside quite as much. Lewis could ultimately suffer when push comes to shove. Ray Lewis Under 9.5 Tackles (-105)

Tom Brady Rushing Yards Over/Under 1.5: Brady isn’t going to openly run the ball all that much, and he only had 23 rushing attempts all year long. That being said, especially in these short yardage situations when the team is running the hurry up offense, Brady has been known to get up under center and sneak it straight forward. He faked that a couple of times against the Texans last week and get the ball on the edge to his running backs instead, but we know that the option is still there for him to do so. The numbers suggest that Brady will end up with exactly zero yards rushing. We think that he is going to end up with at least a few yards when push comes to shove. Tom Brady Over 1.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Will Shane Vereen Score a Touchdown?: Let’s be realistic about Vereen here for a second. He only scored four TDs all year long in the regular season. Yes, Brady loves to keep the offense out there in the form that it is in, and yes, Vereen did score three times last week and caught some big time passes out of the backfield, but he still has five games with a touchdown scored out of 14 games including the regular season, and that just isn’t going to cut it with us. Get last week’s game out of your mind and play this one by the numbers. Shane Vereen To Not Score a Touchdown (-135)

Ray Rice (-4.5) Rushing Yards vs. Stevan Ridley: It’s an interesting comparison for sure. Ridley rushed for more yards in the regular season, accounting for 1,263 yards on the ground, and he is the one going against a defense that allows a lot more yards on the ground than the Patriots do. Of course, what we saw last week out of the Texans is that RB Arian Foster was able to move the ball against this unit on the ground when he was given the opportunity to do so, especially as the game wore on. Don’t think that Caldwell wasn’t looking at that and thinking that he had some real opportunities. Ridley isn’t also necessarily the only back that is going to touch the football. Rice will split some with RB Bernard Pierce, but he is still the horse that the team rides upon. Go with Rice here to outdo Ridley with an experience-driven game.

Who Will Score First New England Touchdown?: This is a sneaky one for sure. The team scored 59 touchdowns this year in the regular season, and Brady threw 34 of them, so there is a good chance that it’s going to be a passing score. TE Aaron Hernandez is the receiving favorite at 4 to 1, but there are a lot of other great options as well. But instead, the man that we are going to be keying in on is Brady. Remember how we talked about his rushing yards earlier? Brady had four rushing scores this year, which is only two fewer than WR Wes Welker (who is 9/2) and the same as WR Brandon Lloyd (13 to 2). We know we’re losing more often than not, but it’s still a great play to make on Brady to score first for the Pats more than one out of 15 times. Tom Brady To Score First New England Touchdown (+1500)

The Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers are set to continue the 2013 NFL playoffs, and as a part of our analysis of the NFC Championship Game betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial clash.

Colin Kaepernick Over/Under 62.5 Rushing Yards: Don’t do it! It’s a trap! Kaepernick shocked the world last week by rushing for 181 yards and two TDs against the Packers, and now, he is going to be going against a defense that was torched by a very similar QB Russell Wilson. Remember folks, last week was the highest scoring divisional round in NFL history, and it really wasn’t all that close. What Wilson and Kaepernick did was out of this world, and they just can’t be expected to have repeat performances. Sure, this could be problematic, knowing that ultimately, Kaepernick only needs to do a bit more than a third of what he did last week. However, look back at the raw numbers. Since Kaepernick jumped into the starting lineup, he has tallied 10, 27, 84, 53, 28, 31, 5, and 181 yards in his eight games. Even by averages, that’s only 52.4 yards per game, and when you take out the last two games, both of which we consider to be outliers, that number is still only at 38.8 yards per game. Think about this another way. The over/under here is 62.5, and we’ll just say that it’s a 50/50 proposition and this ends up being the average that Kaepernick were to have over the course of a 16-game season. That would leave him at exactly 1,000 yards. Know how many quarterbacks have rushed for 1,000 yards in a single season? One. Michael Vick. Once. In all of these years of NFL history. Don’t get suckered into what you saw last week.Colin Kaepernick Under 62.5 Rushing Yards (+100)

Will Frank Gore Score a Touchdown?: The Atlanta defense only gets credit for its scoring average, but it did allow four second half touchdowns last week against the Seahawks. If the Niners get into the end zone even three times, Gore is almost sure to score at least one of them. He found the end zone in 10 of his 17 games this year, and we really like these percentages at this point. Though Gore didn’t score San Fran’s final short touchdown of the game against the Packers (Anthony Dixon did), we still think that there is a great chance that Gore will find his way into the Promised Land at some point during this game. Frank Gore To Score a Touchdown (+100)

Michael Crabtree Over/Under 85.5 Receiving Yards: Here’s the problem that Crabtree has in this game: He’s going to be the only receiver that has a chance, and he is going to be matched up with a great corner in DB Asante Samuel, who has the ability to shut down even the best of receivers in the biggest of games. The only thing factor that scares us here is that Kaepernick has really only had eyes for Crabtree over the course of the last several weeks. He has had five games with at least 93 yards and five games with at least seven receptions in his last six games, all of which were started by Kaepernick, and he hadn’t put up more than seven receptions in a single game with QB Alex Smith calling the shots. Still, we think that this is just too high of a number for Crabtree to reach more often than not with a great corner on his back. Michael Crabtree Under 85.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

Vernon Davis Over/Under 40.5 Receiving Yards: This could be the best play on the board, and it could be the worst play on the board. If you believe in what you saw last week when TE Zach Miller absolutely lit up this secondary, this is a fantastic play to make. If you believe what you have seen over the course of the last several weeks when Davis was totally shut down and often held to just one reception (or no receptions), maybe this isn’t so smart. But here’s what we do know historically about Davis: He might have had a bad season, but he averaged 55.7 yards per game over his previous three seasons before this year. He’s still the second leading receiver on the team, and he still is a great option to use over the middle. It’s tough to throw against these Atlanta corners. It’s not always as tough to take advantage of the intermediate throws into the middle of the field. If Davis ever had a good game in him, this would be the game for that to happen. Vernon Davis Over 40.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

Matt Ryan Over/Under 280.5 Passing Yards: Here’s where we’re using some common sense. Matty Ice just hasn’t been all that good in the playoffs in his career, and even last week against the Seahawks, he wasn’t all that special. He’s going against a secondary now that ranked fourth in the league, allowing just over 200 passing yards per game. Ryan threw for 250 yards last week against the Seahawks, most of which came in the first two and a half quarters. That was the only time in his career in which he threw for more than 200 yards in a postseason game. This probably is going to be another one of these struggles for Ryan from start to finish. Matt Ryan Under 280.5 Passing Yards (+100)

Roddy White Over/Under 79.5 Receiving Yards: Same sort of concept. If Matty Ice doesn’t thrown for 280, White probably isn’t getting to 80. White has been all over the place anyway. He had 76 yards last week against the Seahawks and just 42 the week before against Tampa Bay. He had seven games this year with at least 100 yards, but all but one of the rest of his games featured 76 yards or fewer. It’s possible that White ends up having a great day, but it just isn’t all that likely. Consider that two of his 100+ yard games came against the lousy Panthers, one came against the lousy Saints, one came against the lousy Cowboys, and one came against the lousy Lions. Against some of the better sets of corners in the league? 38 yards against the Eagles, 57 yards against the Bucs, 42 yards against the Bucs the second time, 76 yards against the Seahawks… It just doesn’t look all that good for White.

Julio Jones Over/Under 72.5 Receiving Yards: And here we are again. White has had six straight games with 74 yards or fewer, and he has had 71 or fewer in five of those six. A deep play threat, you know that Jones is going to be blanketed with two deep coverage for most of the game against the 49ers, and that’s not going to help out his cause either. The only way Ryan gets to 280 is by hitting Jones deep. If that doesn’t happen, the former member of the Alabama Crimson Tide isn’t getting to 73 either.

The New England Patriots and Houston Texans are set to continue the 2013 NFL playoffs, and as a part of our analysis of the Divisional betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial clash.

Stephen Gostkowski Over/Under 9.5 Points: It seems like a given that Gostkowski should ultimately be staying under double digits worth of points. Two field goals and three extra points still leaves him one short. That being said, we can’t help but wonder if Gostkowski is going to kick at least four extra points in this game (he did that 10 times out of 16 games) or at least three field goals (he did that six times out of 16 games). The Texans do a lot of bending without breaking, and the team has a remarkable red zone defense in terms of intensity. Who could forget the goal line stand that Houston came up with against the Baltimore Ravens last year in the playoffs that kept them in the game? There has to be at least a 50/50 chance that Gostkowski ends up with at least 10 points in this one. Stephen Gostkowski Over 9.5 Points (+115)

Aaron Hernandez Over/Under 5.5 Receptions: Hernandez had eight catches the first time that these two teams played, and it’s going to be really tough to duplicate that. Not only is TE Rob Gronkowski back in the lineup for this one when he wasn’t five weeks ago, but now, the Texans now have had a good look at what the Brady Brunch brings to the table. Hernandez has been the man that Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips has been talking about all week, and it seems as though he thinks that the key is going to be slowing down the former Florida Gator to slow down this offense. Asking for six catches in a game from one man in an offense that has so many weapons is going to be tough. Aaron Hernandez Under 5.5 Receptions (-135)

Rob Gronkowski Over/Under 5.5 Receptions: Same concept. Except with Gronkowski, we’re not 100% sold that he is really ready to be back and playing again in a full-time capacity after breaking his arm two months ago. The Texans know that they have to slow down these tight ends if they want to have any chance of winning on Sunday. Rob Gronkowski Under 5.5 Receptions (-115)

Owen Daniels Over/Under 4.5 Receptions: Daniels has been huge at times for the Texans this year. It seems wrong that he has an over/under of 4.5 receptions in this game, knowing that he didn’t have more than four receptions in any of his last six games. He also only had four games in the regular season with more than four catches. However, last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, Daniels had 11 targets and nine receptions, and that now gives him at least seven targets in three of his last four games. QB Matt Schaub has been terrible of late, but he really has to be better if he is going to have any chance of getting the job done in the playoffs. Daniels might be the key to the Houston offense. Owen Daniels Over 4.5 Receptions (+110)

Will Andre Johnson Score a Touchdown?: We have seen so many big time receivers put together huge games against the Patriots in the past, though Johnson clearly wasn’t one of those men that was able to do that. No. 80 has probably been the best Texan in franchise history, and in the biggest game in franchise history, it’s high time that he steps up. Sure, he only has four touchdowns this year, but he truly is due for a bust out game. We know that the Texans have struggled offensively, and there hasn’t been any receiver, let alone any specific receiver, but Johnson has to be the man to get this game to a competitive level. Andre Johnson To Score a Touchdown (+220)

Arian Foster Over/Under 88.5 Rushing Yards: Foster had a rough go of it against the Patriots a month ago, and he really hasn’t been the same back since that point. However, he did have a remarkable game against a stout Cincinnati defense last week, rushing 140 yards. He also had eight catches for 34 yards and ended up touching the ball a whopping 40 times on the day. Foster is the first and only player in NFL history to run for at least 100 yards in each of his first three playoff games. The team is going to have to run the ball to make it through to the AFC Championship Game, and the Patriots are prone to allowing a bunch of rushing yards. Arian Foster Over 88.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
