As an example, Super Bowl stats show that if one team commits more turnovers in the Super Bowl than the other team, the team that has more turnovers will probably not win. Why? Because the vast majority of teams that have won the Super Bowl over the years have been the ones with the least turnovers in the game. This statistic doesn't actually work well for predictions since you wouldn't know ahead of time which team would have more turnovers, but there are other statistics that can help before the game is even played. Do some research on historical Super Bowl stats, and see what kind of patterns you can find, even if you just do it for fun. How many Super Bowl winners were ahead at half time? How many of the teams that scored the first points went on to win the game? Knowing these types of facts can help you look like quite the expert; your friends, family, and colleagues will be impressed with what you know!

You can go even deeper and research such things as how previous winning teams ranked during the seasons as far as their offensive and defensive strategies. Though most people know that the teams favored by the experts usually do win, you could check to see how many of the teams that were favored to win actually beat the wagering point spread set by the oddsmakers. This could actually help you determine whether or not to go for the favorite or the underdog if you are betting on a point spread. The thing to ask yourself is: "The favorite will probably win, but will they win by enough?" Researching previous Super Bowl stats can be interesting and beneficial, and the best way to do it would be to do a few online searches. These days there isn't much that you can find out about on the Internet, so use it to your advantage. --- by Mike Jones at 1800-sports.com on November 23, 2006
