Super Bowl Cross-Sports Prop Betting – Kobe Bryant vs. New Orleans Saints Point Total

Super Bowl Cross-Sports Prop Betting:  

The Super Bowl is the best time of year for all of us sports gambling nuts. This is the only event in the world that has so many unique betting propositions that go way beyond the coin toss and the winning team.

BetOnline is offering up a record number of props this year, ranging from everything Super Bowl 44, to teams and players from different sports.  After studying all of the cross-sports prop bets in the sportsbook, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is one of the best one to wager on.

Cross-Sports Prop Betting:
 
** The Super Bowl is on February 7th. Kobe plays on February 6th.

Who Will Have More Points February 6th 2010?
Kobe Bryant Points                                         +3 ½ -120
New Orleans Saints                                         -3 ½ -120

Both the Saints and the Kobester are going off at -120 in the sportsbook to score more points.  The difference is that the New Orleans Saints have to give up points in this matchup, 3 ½. The reason being is that the Lakers have to face a very tough Trail Blazer team, in Portland. The last time these two teams played, the Blazers came out victorious, 107-98.

Stats wise, Kobe had himself a poor shooting day (14-37). He still managed to drop 32 points but this was in early January while he wasn’t nursing a bad finger. On the season, Kobe is 4th in the league, averaging almost 28 points a game, and he’ll be lucky to reach that number on Saturday.

Switching over to Super Bowl, the Saints should score at least 35 points on the depleated Colts defense.  That would mean that the Black Mamba would have to at least drain 32 in order for bettors to win some mullah on him.  If you ask me, I just don’t see Kobe putting in 32 against the Trailblazers on the road.

Another little stat nugget that favors the Saints is that Kobe and the Lakers take on the Denver Nuggets on Friday night in the Staples Center before traveling to Portland on Saturday to face the Trailblazers.
I have to give up the points and go with the Saints again.

Pick:  Saints at -3 ½ -120
