— -- For the second year in a row, we have a marquee Super Bowl matchup with the defending champion Seattle Seahawks taking on the New England Patriots. It's also the second straight year in which both conferences' No. 1 seeds have reached the big game.

And, just like last year when the Seahawks-Broncos matchup led Nevada sports books to handle a record $119 million in wagers, we're well on our way to a similar amount by the time all the tickets are totaled this Sunday.

ESPN Insider's Super Bowl Betting Guide aims to bring you a comprehensive look at the Super Bowl and hopefully produce as many winners as last year's guide (three straight years if including two years ago, when three of our four handicappers were on Baltimore over San Francisco).

Insider's team of pro football handicappers, as well as John Parolin of ESPN Stats & Information, will give their thoughts on the point spread and over/under as well as breaking down a bunch of the ever-popular proposition bets.
