Episode notes
Lean Over On Super Bowl Totals
- Take the game-level over when Super Bowls remove usual playoff conservatism and teams use trick plays.
- Adjust upward because neutral conditions and one fluky big play make totals volatile.
Prefer QB For MVP, But Seek Receiver Value
- Favor quarterback MVP bets when you must pick one, since recent Super Bowls heavily reward QBs.
- If you want value, target high-upside receivers like JSN or Cooper Kupp at long odds instead.
Exploit Player-Specific Game Scripts
- Several mid-tier offensive players (JSN, Ramondre, Travion) offer strong value for multi-touchdown or yardage props.
- Bet specific game scripts (short passes, goal-line carries) to identify underrated longshots.
