VegasInsider.com looks at some interesting trends leading up to Super Bowl XLIII:

Favorite vs. Underdog
If you’re looking to make a money-line play on the game, perhaps you should look for value. The favorite has gone 27-15 SU and 23-17-2 ATS.

An upset is very possible, but the chalk has still been winning outright at a 64% clip. Only seven times has the favorite won the game, but failed to cover the number. Underdog players should definitely give the money-line a shot. Heck, it worked last year with the Giants.

The N.Y. Jets still remain the biggest underdog to win outright after upsetting Baltimore 16-7 as 18-point ‘dogs in Super Bowl III, while New England’s 20-17 victory against St. Louis in SBXXXVI as a 14-point puppy remains the largest upset in the modern era.

Over vs. Under
Whether you fancy the ‘over’ or the ‘under’, you really have no room to complain. The ‘under’ holds a 22-19 edge through the first 44 finales, with no total being listed on the first installment. The ‘under’ is on a 4-0 run but the ‘over’ did go 6-2 in the previous eight battles before this low-scoring run.
