Super Bowl 2014 Heading To New York, New York

NFL football betting fans – and even college football betting fans, to an extent – know that there no such thing as on offseason. On Tuesday, we were reminded once again.

The NFL has announced that the 2014 Super Bowl will be held in New York at the new Meadowlands, which is a huge story. The city of New York beat out Tampa Bay, where the weather is much warmer and milder. And that is the real issue, which surprised a lot of football fans on Tuesday. The Super Bowl is the single biggest day in American professional sports and the NFL is taking a risk by holding the event in the outdoors where the weather can come into play and potentially ruin the day.

NFL point spreads won’t be the only thing affected in late January in an open-door venue in New York as transportation, field conditions and even how the teams fare in the big game will have to be part of the plans now.

On the whole, there have been plenty of classic sport betting events that have been played in the outdoors and in the cold, but should Peyton Manning and his Indianapolis Colts, who play indoors, make it to the Super Bowl – or any other warm-weather team- they won’t be thrilled to be playing in the snow. It will be a conceivable advantage to certain teams and it could also just make a big mess of things.

We’ll find out in 2014!
