Seeing into the future is almost as enticing as the wager itself. Almost. With another NFL season upon us, the discussion about which squad will win Super Bowl LIII is in full swing and the action is rolling in at online sportsbooks all over the world. Let's stiff-arm the fluff and get right down to the business of who to bet, why to bet them and where to bet them.

Before you go racing off to the sportsbook to place your bets on the Philadelphia Eagles winning Super Bowl LIII, repeat after me: Super Bowl champions no longer repeat the process. It's happened once since 2000, when the New England Patriots captured Super Bowls XXXVIII and XXXIX. But faced with the opportunity to do so against the Eagles in Super Bowl LII, the defending champion Patriots dropped the ball.

A win in Super Bowl LII, and the New England Patriots will join the Pittsburgh Steelers with a share of the record for most Super Bowls won. Each franchise would have six victories. A win in Super Bowl LII and the Philadelphia Eagles would remove themselves from the list of teams that are winless in multiple Super Bowl appearances, a group that also includes Buffalo, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Atlanta and Carolina.

What do Joel Embiid, DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook have to do with Super Bowl LII? Well, nothing you'd think, unless some of those athletes from other sports are fans of the New England Patriots or Philadelphia Eagles and therefore hold a vested interest in the outcome. But you'd be wrong. Thanks to Bovada's Super Bowl cross-sport wagers, you can play all of them in a Super Bowl bet.

And you can bet on everything surrounding the game. Who will win the coin flip? How long with the National Anthem last? What color will Pink's hair be when she sings it? Welcome to the wild world of Super Bowl exotic prop bets.

Beyond the straight up determination and point spread wagering on who will win Super Bowl LII between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles, there's also over/under or total wagering available, clearly the toughest of the three wagers to call. Straight up, favorites are 35-16 in Super Bowls, and 28-19-2 against the spread. But the over/under is almost a perfect split, going 26-24-1.

Sports history hasn't been kind to Philadelphia, but then again, Philadelphia sports fans aren't known for their kindness, either. Don't forget, this is the town that booed Santa Claus. It's the place where the wife of Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Norm Barnes was booed during a charity fashion show. And Donovan McNabb, the previous quarterback to lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl, was booed on draft day.

If you were to complete an oral history of the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, it would be about as long as one of those compositions you read in front of the class in elementary school. And it would be just as awkward, with little of value or substance to offer, finally coming to a very unhappy ending. Will the Eagles be able to change the narrative in Super Bowl LII?
