Unknown players that you need to know before making your Super Bowl bet

Bookmark and Share by Al Simmons

The Super Bowl always brings us stories of unknown players making big plays. These are the players they make movies about. Like Jimmy Morris of the Tampa Bay Rays and like Vince Papale of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Super Bowl Odds:
New Orleans Saints +4.5
Indianapolis Colts -4.5
O/U 56

So before you bet on Super Bowl Sunday check out these players:

Raheem Brock DE, Colts - Saying that Brock is an unknown player might be unfair, but depending on how bad Dwight Freeney’s ankle is on Sunday, the game may rest on his shoulders.

Raheem could be a factor on Sunday as the Saints left tackle Jermon Bushrod is inconsistent at best.

Brock has enough speed and mobility to give Bushrod problems; he might get to Brees and force some turnovers that will help the Colts.

Darnell Dinkins TE, Saints - Jeremy Shockey is expected to play on Sunday but he has been dealing with a bruised right knee since the game against the Cardinals. If Shockey can’t go on Sunday David Thomas will be ready to step.

I know you probably think he won’t be a factor because he is not a starter but in this offense everybody is a target for Drew Brees; he will find anybody that is open.

So keep an eye out for both of these players on the field and don’t be surprised if they end up becoming deciding factors in Super Bowl 44.
