If you were setting the point spread (for fun and amusement only of course) what would it be?

I was thinking similarly as I see this game being won in OT

But which way?

Think about how many points both teams actually score and actually give up. New England scores 29.3 a game against Seattle at 24.6. Then defensively Seattle allows 15.9 a game while New England gives up 19.6. So just by those numbers if you split the difference it would be Seattle 23 New England 22 or thereabouts. Basically a low-mid 20's game no matter how you slice it unless it goes sideways like last year and if it does it won't be Seattle on the losing end of any possible blowout. Last time Seattle lost by over 9 points was 4 years ago and even then that 9 point loss was San Diego running up the score needlessly.bostonhardo":2x2fsokg said:I am surprised based on the rhetoric here that y'all are talking such a low spread.

Yeah, it's so close and I was eyeballing it. My belief is that it will be 24-20 with a maximum score of 28-24 and a minimum score of 21-17. And yes Seattle should be the favorites but that won't garner the action that Las Vegas wants hence New England as a 3 point favorite.Strongarm2399":1x3l3nue said:MizzouHawkGal":1x3l3nue said:Think about how many points both teams actually score and actually give up.

Ur math is correct but the teams should be flipped.
This is the best thread on here I would set it at seattle -2 due to them being the defending champs on the west coast in a familiar stadium.
I see this game coming down to whover has the ball last and by however much that team needs to win
