Anyone else surprised we are 2.5 pt underdogs?

I am not much of a betting man but I am really surprised that we are the underdog in this game. I think we match up well with the Donkeys and if I were a betting man would jump on this one. Anyone else surprised?

I could swear that the first thing I heard was that Seattle was favored by 2 and that the line changed.

I think a bunch of money got dropped on the donks when we opened as fav's, so that forced the line to move. In Vegas it's all about cash money.

Vegas is in business to stay in business. The goal of the point spread is to force even action on both sides because that's when the casino makes money.

The professional bookies did open with Seattle as a small favorite. Then a ton of money got poured on denver because the casual better only knows the name Peyton Manning and no other name from either team. That flood of money suddenly made denver a small favorite and that's where we stand.

I disagree. I think everybody had just spent that Sunday watching Denver clinically eviscerate NE, followed by that fumblerooskie slop fest that was the NFC championship and bet accordingly.

Well that "slop fest" as you called it were between the 2 best teams in football.NE is a shell of its former self and the Donkos have had a MUCH easier road coming out of the AFC. Hawks will pound it down their throats on both sides of the ball. IMO I think Seattle wins by at least 2 td's.

Every week it is the same old thing.

I grow weary of drinking tears of Seattle opponents.

Ground Hog Day. Deja Vu.

Whatever you want to call it.

Denver is Sooooooft on Defense. Did the Cowboys punt against them?

Decker has bad hands, drops balls whenever I watch him.

Aligator arms for the Thomas boys. Kam will light em up.

His dismissive attitude about the NFC Championship game tells you all you need to know about this troll. So, winning a close, hard fought game against a loaded, red hot San Francisco team wasn't as impressive as handily beating a New England team that had been over achieving all year? Rrriiiiight.

I gotta get me some of this. I think we are winning by 2 or 3 scores.

I never bet.


But this is so damned tempting, it's like finding money on the ground with no one in sight around!

I am glad you guys won. I think frisco's O was a much worse match up for our D. They actually have receivers and a TE.

And unlike Denver, they have a QB that can run. Hmmmmm, we do too...hahahahahaha

And Doug Baldwin out-produced the combined total of Crabtree + Boldin.

Troll much?

Wait until they try and stop Marshawn. And forget about Harvin/Baldwin/Tate/Kearse and Zach Miller.

Well, their 'receivers and a TE' did jack against our DBs. Our non-existant WRs and TEs are about to make your acquaintance. Good luck.

Anything 2.9 and below in Vegas is basically a push. I would bet they are just as "educated-ly" confused handicapping this game as everyone else is. I haven't found one argument one way or another that would hint at the outcome for the Super Bowl.

Heck you have everything from blow out predictions from both sides to a close game.

Anyone else seen a convincing argument?
