I asked around the Team OddsShark folks to see who everyone liked for the Super Bowl. We came up with a consensus and it’s … the New England Patriots. But not everyone is on them.
Take a look:
Team OddsShark Picks:
Paulo Antunes (@PauloAntunes), ESPN Brazil (18th in the Super Contest this season)
Paulo likes the UNDER and had a tough time with the side but leaned Patriots to win. Here is my chat with him: Super Bowl Chat With Paulo Antunes
Frank Schwab (@YahooSchwab), Yahoo blog: NFL Shutdown Corner (33rd in Super Contest this season)
“I respect what the Eagles have done recently, and it was impressive how they beat a very good Vikings team in the NFC championship game. But it’s hard to pick against the Patriots. I think they might expose Nick Foles a bit, and Tom Brady will be as good as ever. Patriots 28, Eagles 20
“I can’t help myself on this Super Bowl prop — I know it’s squarest of the square to pick who scores the game’s first touchdown, but I love doing it anyway. Given that the Patriots like to defer, I’ll pick an Eagles player, and it seems right to go with goal-line back LeGarrette Blount at about +850. Hey, might as well live a little.”
Ty Schalter (@tyschalter), Five Thirty Eight & The Athletic Detroit, (Top 50 in Super Contest this season)
“Yeah, definitely on the Eagles to cover, especially at 4.5 or higher. Props, I like Tom Brady to throw at least one pick and the UNDER on national anthem length. Pink’s more pop/rock, it’s the R&B types going a cappella you gotta watch out for ... Like if it’s Christina Aguilera, dead nuts OVER.”

“Pats moneyline and coin toss tails for me. Because tails never fails.”
Jon Anik (@Jon_Anik), UFC commentator
“Eagles 27, Patriots 24. New England’s ineptitude offensively early on in past Super Bowls gives me pause. I think Philadelphia has a coaching staff that understands they need to score 27 to 30-plus points to beat the Patriots. And this space says they will do it. I think Jake Elliott comes up big.”
Clay Travis (@ClayTravis), Outkick the Coverage, Fox Sports Radio
“You can’t bet against Brady and I don’t have faith in the Eagles to score many points after Belichick having two weeks to prepare. So I’m on Patriots -4.5 and the UNDER 48.5.” (Check out my interview with him from the past week here: Super Bowl Interview With Clay.)
Kelly Stewart (@kellyinvegas), Las Vegas media personality and handicapper
“I’ll most likely be on the UNDER by a kick. Oh and bet heads. I always love betting the coin flip right out of the gate!”
Ryan Fowler (@FreelanceFowler), Team OddsShark fantasy writer
“I’ll take Patriots 4 1/2 and Chris Hogan anytime touchdown (+225).”
Ben Eckstein (@vegasvigorish), America’s Line, Las Vegas oddsmaker and syndicated columnist
Took Philadelphia Eagles at +6. (Video coming)

Patriots -4.5. (Video to come)
