You need a good sample size to work with betting trends, but an NFL team changes a lot during the course of a season, let alone over a number of years. (AP Images)

A trend that has any substance says more about the behavior of the betting public, which doesn’t change nearly as quickly.

Your most solid Super Bowl betting trend: The under is 12-6 during the past 18 years, including the last four straight. Sometimes defense is fashionable in a macho kind of way, like the original Steel Curtain, but it’s all about getting into the end zone for most people.

Here’s a goodie: The AFC is 8-4 SU and 6-4-2 ATS in the past 12 years. We like to think that the rise to prominence of the AFC since the end of the Niners-Cowboys cabal is common knowledge, but squares couldn’t even tell you for certain which conference the Steelers represent.
