2.5 Underdogs?

[FLSeahawk]

I was just watching GMFB and was going to comment similar. I was surprised when he picked us to win the division.

I like being the underdog but that was a nice surprise this morning

Love your avatar!

Thanks! I was so surprised he picked us to win the division this morning

Was this recent 'cause this is the only video I was able to find (and it was two weeks ago).

Oh. So it was this morning. Nevermind. He's been all-in on the Hawks for a while.

As always, the lines are based on the $ people are betting, it's not Las Vegas "showing disrespect".

 

[SonicHawk]

Sharps set the line and Sharps don't think the Seahawks are very good. Week 1 NFL betting lines are always a bit of a crapshoot anyways.

If we don't win by 2 TDs and total domination, 12s have every reason to be disappointed. I expect our D to shut down their O. Our O might take a bit to get going, but once going, unstoppable.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Come on toff. Win by 2 touchdowns? This game is going down to the wire. With the Hawks on the winning end.
And you know how much I despise that team.

1.5 point underdogs

Seems about right

We haven’t done anything yet. To many unknowns with this team

Lines are to even up the betting in Vegas

Yes divisional games almost always come down to the wire but I for one will be pretty damn livid if our D can't limit Purdy and their 2025 offense.

Niners still have McCaffrey and Kittle, I don't expect anything less than a hell of a battle. Hope to be shocked, but until I see it, we'll see.

It absolutely is a must win. Have to send the message.

I love the passion and your obvious hate for the Niners, but “a must win” is a bit hyperbolic.

It’s one game. An important division game nonetheless, but still just one of 17. We have rooks playing at a few different positions. If we make a few mistakes and blow this one, it will suck, but lots of time to get firing on all cylinders.

That said.. Let’s kick their ass.

Being a Home Dawg will make our 1-0 start that much sweeter

To me, it IS a must win. You have to send that message, from the get.

The over/under on the whiners is 22.5 points.

Just took the under.

I think our O will come out strong on the scripted plays and then might need a few drives to start clicking but I’m confident as hell the defense will be solid the entire game. I can’t wait to see the entire first team defense in action.

We’re a little light at NT but have good cover on the PS. If we can shut down their run game early and play with a lead it’ll be a long day for purdy and co.

PS: I know every fan says that last sentence about their team but I’m an unabashed homer and actually think there’s a good chance of that happening this Sunday.

I don’t want to see George Kittel over on the sidelines making his
Goofy faces when their winning.

You would rather see his goofy faces when they are Whining??

the M*A*S*H unit, l

Surprisingly positive practice reports yesterday. Juwan Jennings WR1/2, Dominick Puni RG 1, Yetur Gross Matos DE 2, Mykel Williams DL 1/2, CJ West DL 2, Kalia Davis DL 1/2, Upton Stout slot corner 1 all practicing. So only injuries still lingering are Aiyuk WR 1 4-6 weeks still with ACL, Mustapha SS 1 4-6 weeks ACL, Watkins WR 4 weeks high ankle, Demarcus Robinson WR 3 suspension 4 weeks

The points differential is a function determined by win probability. There is about a 2.5% the game ends up with a 1 point margin of victory. The chance of a 2 point victory is about 2.0% . There's between 8.5 and 9.3% of a 3 point victory. Obviously there's a slightly bigger chance of the favourite winning by any of these margins than the underdog. The probabilities are also altered by the number of points expected to be scored in a game. If the game is more likely to be low scoring the probability of a narrow victory is increased. All the 49ers -2.5 line means is the 49ers are considered to be a 54.7% chance with the Seahawks a 45.3% chance...give or take. If the 49ers were a 52.6% favourite the line would be -1.5. If the 49ers were a 63.7% chance the line would be -3.5.

Just remember that betting handicap points are not equal in value. They don't imply that a team will win by a specific margin or that a team is better by that specific margin. 3 is the biggest number and 7 is the 2nd biggest number. 6 & 10 are the other big 2 numbers. Everything else is pretty small.

talk about a great measuring stick for our run game! If we can run on these douche nozzles, it's going to be a great year to be a seahawk fan.

No doubt. F these turd burglars. Get that W.
