Bodog betting the Bus and Big Ben will keep winning through Motor City
Leading online sportsbook Bodog is betting the Bus and Big Ben will keep winning through Motor City. The Pittsburgh Steelers emerged as 4-point favorites as Bodog Sportsbok picked the Steelers to defeat the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl XL.
Bodog made the AFC champion Steelers 4-point favorites immediately after the Seahawks finished off the Carolina Panthers, 34-14, in the NFC title game. The teams will meet Feb. 5 in Detroit, Michigan. Pittsburgh went through 
the one, two, and three seeds, and a lot of people think the AFC from top-to-bottom was a lot better conference than the NFC.
The over-under line set at 47 points. The over-under lets bettors put money on whether the teams combine to score more or less than that amount. Initial odds often change as online bookmakers weigh the money bettors put on one team or the other. Bodog installs Pittsburgh as Super Bowl favorites
