Surprisingly, Seattle has received the most betting action of any team (improving from 16/1 to 11/1). Russell Wilson certainly has a big fan club, and handicapper Scott Spreitzer feels as if Wilson’s elite intangibles will fuel a quantum leap during his second season. The Seahawks very likely have the strongest home-field advantage in the NFL (covering the spread in 62 percent of home games since their new stadium opened in 2002). But Seattle’s road performance is inversely inept (covering only 39 percent ATS on the road during the same period). With road games in Houston, Indianapolis, Atlanta, New York (Giants), and San Francisco, the Seahawks will have to travel better if the Super Bowl is the expectation.

People on this forum are convinced the 49ers have better odds to win the SB because they have received the most action. Apparently that is not the case.

Good post.

The betting information you get on Seahawks.NET is comical when not outright bullshit (Largent80).

I'd love to hear where this guy is finding 11/1, though. The Hilton and everywhere else I know of has us at 7/1.

Strangely enough, I am about to board a flight to Vegas, so I look forward to reading the article.

And in other news. BFS is a year late on the easy, smart, and generous pick of last year.

Excuse me. But I got 16-1 before last year began. I am not betting this year. Rather, I am coming to Seattle with the 2nd half of money won last year. It will be awesome spending another free week away from home for free. Thanks Vegas.

jealousy does not equal lies my friend. Get over it. My wife and I got a trip to Japan, a new car, and will be coming to Seattle for the SF game (Tix courtesy Riley 12 wedding present).

This is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 true. We won, and won big. BFS missed out and has been bitter forever. If I were you I would skip whatever he is hot on. I do not need to P.M. you to tell you that I bet on the Hawks very early line at 16-1. BFS thinks I am lying. I say....MMMMMMkay. I'll just enjoy my winnings.

Im Going to Vegas in early Sept. I plan on putting a few hundred down on a Lynch MVP at 50-1 odds.

The last time I put a MVP vote it was 40-1 odds and it was Alexander and he won. Unfortantley I only bet 5$ lol but it was awesome

Got 10-1 at LVH on Friday. Amazing sportsbook btw

Weird. I will be walking in there within two hours. Already have a couple tickets from LVH, but they were at 7-1 which is what the vegasinsider is also showing current odds as.

What is Largent claiming he won? The Hawks didn't win any of those prop bets last year except Wins/Losses.

Exactly.... Claims he got 16-1 odds on an over/under for total wins!
Nobody on earth believes him but he has dug his heels in anyway.

He says he won like 50 grand or something like that.

lol unless he got it from a friend over and under wins and losses generally do not go above -180 and even that I don't think I have seen.

The only thing I could see if there was a special prop bet that was over 10 wins but that would not be plus 1600. And no book would run such a prop.

BFS: You get 10-1 at LVH?? I think I had perfect timing with the Percy fallout. Crazy thing was at the beginning of last week (pre Percy news) the Strat had us at 7-2. I was floored!
