I want to put out a general warning. Be careful at any book putting out an off-number Super Bowl line. Let me give an example:
Let's say that these are the Pinnaclesports.com numbers:
Saints -6.5 -107
Jets +6.5 -101
Now, let's assume book flybynightsports.com has this line
Saints -7.5 -115
Jets +7.5 -105
flybynightsports.com is going to take significant action on the Jets and very little action on the Saints. If the Saints were to cover the 7.5 (about 44% of the time given Pinnacle's numbers), then flybynightsports.com would win huge on the Super Bowl
If the Jets were to cover the 7.5 flybynightsports.com would suddenly become insolvent....

Been a while since I've had the time to post some picks/info here.
Women's QF's:
Maria Sharapova -120 for 1 unit WSEX.
I must confess a little trepidation on this play as Sharapova is still not 100% healthy but so much of women's tennis comes down to who has the bigger balls on the tight points. There is a reason Martina Navratilova won so many grand slams. At -120 the price is simply too good to take in what the stats (for the tournament) would say is a fairly close matchup.
Men's QF's:
Fernando Gonzalez +150 for 1 unit WSEX.
I actually unloaded on this...
