Superbowl XLVIII

[Crouch Potato]

Demaryius Thomas MVP @ 44 Betfair Simply cannot believe these odds. I think everyone is assuming Sherman will be on him but Sherman doesn't really play as a proper cover corner. He normally sticks to one side of the field and given Thomas normally lines up in all different positions I think he'll see plenty of action against the Hawks' other corners. Furthermore, with all the attention on Sherman, if Thomas were to pull off a critical reception against Sherman I think it's going to bode well for his chances as it's going to stand out as a bigger achievement. On Thomas himself, he is easily the best of Denver's receivers and has great run after the catch ability which I think could further his chances here. We saw him do it against Pittsburgh in the play-offs 2 years ago and he did a number on the Pats in the Championship game as well. He's got touchdown grabs in 4 of his 5 playoff appearances and great separation skills to boot, and quite frankly, I can't ignore him at these odds. Denver are the favourites and whilst Peyton is the obvious MVP candidate, I still can't believe that a man who has consecutive 1400 yard seasons with 14 touchdown grabs can be so long.

Yes, it is a great value bet. the one thing i will be looking out for early on is how the Denver receivers cope with the hits. how nervous will they be when the defenders come running in just when they are about to catch the ball. Seattle have only played 2 decent passing teams all season, Atlanta and NO, I remember the NO Seattle game well, Jimmy Graham had a nightmare, couldn't catch a ball. receivers not holding onto the ball after the catch. the write up don't tell the true story, Seattle left receivers open but the Saints were scared stiff of the hits, that lost them the game. So i will be watching for this early on in tonight game. if the Denver receivers can catch and hold onto the ball then i think they should win,. if Seattle have the receivers a bag of nerves then Seattle win. Applies to your bet, Manning has many receivers to throw to. it is vital that they are prepared to take a hammering and keep possession. as Thomas is the top receiver there is a good chance he may shine even more tonight. Manning should have plenty of time to find him as Seattle rarely blitz as you know, I can see Thomas taking some awful hits in the middle of the field, if he can catch the ball without worrying and hold onto it, he deserves MVP as it's vital if Denver stand any chance tonight.
