8 Recommended Super Bowl Apps For American Football Fans

​Super Bowl LI is set to be an iconic game, with the high-octane offense of the Atlanta Falcons set to test the elite defense of the New England Patriots, all with the fascinating subplot of Tom Brady looking to get revenge on the NFL playing out in Houston. And while the action on the field is sure to be exciting and legacy defining, the action off the field will be exciting as well.

Thanks to these seven recommended Super Bowl iOS and Android betting apps, the excitement of Super Bowl 51 does not have to be limited to the game itself. Whether it is fantasy sports betting, traditional sports betting, or following along with up to the minute statistics, these apps will turn what is already the most exciting day of the year in the NFL into an even more exciting day for mobile sports bettors.
​

NFL Mobile - Official App

​Thanks to NFL Mobile, fans and NFL bettors can learn more about the Patriots and Falcons than they could have thought possible, and can keep up with Super Bowl LI with up to the minute scores and statistics. Before the game, though, video coverage with NFL Now will keep bettors up to date on team news and other items of interest so informed decisions are made when the time comes to lock in a wager.

NFL Mobile also offers replays of every game that the Patriots and Falcons have played so far this season to NFL Game Pass subscribers, letting bettors watch every single play that both teams have been involved in this season. This can be a major benefit to bettors, who can observe on-field trends for both teams that go beyond just the statistics that both sides carry into the game.

If you are a Verizon customer, you can also stream Super Bowl LI on NFL Mobile, allowing you to find out if it will be Tom Brady or Matt Ryan to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy when all is said and done in Houston, in a game where Roger Goodell is surely hoping that the Falcons can win to save him from the awkwardness of having to hand the trophy to a Patriots team he tried so hard to punish this season.

Fox Sports Go App - Live Stream

Normally, Fox Sports Go users need to use a cable subscription to access the content across all of Fox Sports' properties. But for Super Bowl LI, this year's big game will be streamed for free on the app, allowing Super Bowl LI bettors and everyone else to catch the game through their mobile devices without needed to sign into a provider beforehand, something that is perfect for cord cutters and anyone hoping to catch the game away from home.

Not only will the massive matchup between the Patriots and Falcons be streamed through the Fox Sports Go app for free, it will also be streamed featuring advertising from the local markets in which users stream the game. While it isn't very likely that people streaming the Super Bowl via a mobile app care about the commercials during the game more than they care about the game itself, this is a great touch that will give people who are streaming Super Bowl LI the opportunity to get the full game experience rather than just the game with awkward silences during commercial breaks.

Sports Insights NFL Analytics

With betting lines being so dependent on who is betting on what as kickoff draws closer, it is imperative for sports bettors to keep an eye on those numbers constantly.

Sports Insights offers a number of services to mobile sports betting enthusiasts, some of which require a subscription to access. But even the free services offered on their app are extremely valuable and can help bettors gain an edge. Percentages as far as who is betting on which side of the Super Bowl are available for free at Sports Insights, and allow bettors to look at who the public is on throughout the time leading right up to kickoff. Line movement information is also available, so bettors can see how the line has changed throughout Super Bowl week and use that knowledge to their advantage.

Fan Duel Mobile

​FanDuel is the best fantasy sports betting app available, and will have action available to players for Super Bowl LI, with a twist. Due to the draconian laws surrounding sports betting in the United States, daily fantasy sports sites such as FanDuel are not allowed to offer one-day fantasy contests for single games such as the Super Bowl. This means that FanDuel has to tether its Super Bowl fantasy sports betting to another game, and that is where the Pro Bowl came into play.

The deadline for FanDuel's Super Bowl fantasy sports betting contests was Sunday, January 29th, which is the date of the NFL Pro Bowl. This allowed players to put together a lineup from two different games, which helped to keep those contests legal under the current system of anti-gambling laws in the United States. Of course, it would have been foolish to select a bunch of Pro Bowl players on your FanDuel roster given how inconsistent the playing time for those players is, as well as how strong the defenses are in the Pro Bowl, as evidenced by this year's low scoring game. All in all, this was a clever workaround to get the Super Bowl involved in daily fantasy sports betting, but the tradeoff is that your lineup better have been submitted already.

Bait - NFL Peer-to-Peer Betting

​Have you ever wanted to bet on sports, but preferred to bet against your less knowledgeable friends than against the genius bookmakers in Las Vegas? If so, Bait is perfect for you. A peer-to-peer betting app, Bait allows mobile sports bettors to take on their friends for bragging rights (and cash) instead of hoping to beat the house in a useful version of the social betting apps that are growing in popularity as they evolve.

Bait users can import the contacts directly from their mobile devices to take on those who already have the app immediately. If contacts don't have the Bait app, they can be invited into the app and, once they download it, can start setting up wagers against their friends. Their platform allows users to keep track of who they are owed money from and who owes them money, as well as the reputations of other users within the app, so you know whether or not someone will pay up before you engage them in a wager. With real-time score updates and instant messaging features also available in the app, Bait is a great way to keep track of Super Bowl LI and to bet on it with your friends.
