Super Bowl Futures --- What am I missing?

Book is offering a Colts vs Saints S.B. at -120

Below that is: Colts vs Vikings S.B. at +220

I personally like the Colts v Saints and think that will happen. That being said, I think the Colts are there no matter what. So with those lines, surely you have to drop a -120 to win $100 on Colts v Saints and then turn around and insure yourself with 1/2 (or $55) your wager on original bet with Colts v Vikings at +220, right?! I mean, you win money or break even as long as the Colts win SU tomorrow. If I do what I just listed, I will get a return of $100 if Colts v Saints and lose $55 for a total of +$45.00 if Saints win. If Saints lose, I will lose the -$120 but but end up breaking even with $55 on the +220.

You have to play this, right? You are getting the teams on the ML in this deal. I love my chances on the Colts ML. As far as the other game, I like the Saints on the ML but still break even or mess with the money so I win a little bit if the Vikes do pull it off. VERY tempting to go large but can't do it due to Jets great defense, but I don't see how I can pass this up if I'm not missing something!

Just bet the Colts on the moneyline. Your 175 will get you around 45 regardless of the outcome of the other game.
