3 Great Super Bowl Moments
on Aug.26, 2010, under Superbowl Odds
NFL betting enthusiasts have seen many great Super Bowl moments since the inaugural game in January of 1967. For fans new to NFL betting online, we count down three of the greatest moments in Super Bowl History.
1. Super Bowl XVIII Marcus Allen TD – Oakland Raiders fans have fond memories of Super Bowl 18 as this was one game where they were doing the destroying rather than getting destroyed. As many NFL fans will remember, this was one of the more one sided games in the history of the sport as the eventual score was 38 to nine for the Raiders over the Washington Redskins.
What makes Marcus Allen’s touchdown so amazing is that he started on his own 26 yard line. Allen took the handoff from legendary quarterback Jim Plunkett and appeared destined for a plethora of Redskin defenders. Instead Allen made a sharp cut to the middle and went 74 yards to the house effectively putting the game out of reach at the end of the third quarter.
2. Super Bowl XXXII Flying Elway – Denver Broncos clash with the Green Bay Packers in this encounter. What makes this play so incredible is twofold. Firstly, John Elway and the Bronco offense are pinned at their own 12 yard line in a 17 to 17 draw with the ever dangerous Green Bay Packer defense breathing down their necks. Elway takes the snap, but can’t find an open receiver. Yet rather then throw out of bounds, the old guy takes off down the field, eventually making a spectacular dive and getting crunched by two defenders. Elway not only got the first down, but he also inspired his teammates. The drive was capped off two plays later when Elway connected to Terrell Davis for the go ahead touchdown. Broncos victory 31 – 24.
3. Super Bowl X Lynn Swann Catch – Perhaps the greatest performance in Super Bowl history, was the effort Lynn Swann put in during the Super Bowl 10 match against the Dallas Cowboys. Swann’s biggest play was in the second quarter of the game when he and Terry Bradshaw connected on a 53 yard pass. Swann was covered like white on rice by Dallas Corner Mark Washington. However Swann turned into Super Man when he flew above Washington to make the grab.
