Well its official Vegas puts us as underdogs

One word: Perfect.

It's not surprising. Regardless of the relative quality of the two teams, I'm sure that more people will be betting on Denver. I pay less attention to point spreads than I do power rankings.

Not by much. I think we opened at +1 in most books. Betting has moved the spread out.

Agreed, and what's better is, ORIGINALLY they had the Seahawks as 2 point favorites, which shows what the wise guys themselves actually think. Now the line gets moved because of idiot fans betting, but the wise guys had the Seahawks favored at first.

That line may move up and down a bit until the game, because so many think this will be so close.
Personally I don't see it. The real Superbowl game was just played by the two best teams in football, the Seahawks and the Niners.

Also, I honestly believe that if the Niners had advanced instead of Seattle, the line would be Niners by at least two, BUT Richard Sherman said what he did, and people don't like us, and the media is still going with this ridiculous idea that our QB sucks now, etc...but Vegas would be RIGHT to have the Niners favored if they had advanced, because the Niners would beat the Broncos without a doubt. They're just a much better, much more balanced team.
Just like the Seahawks.

They did but all bets that came in were heavy on bronco's so they had to change it to cover their a$$es

Vegas put us as favorites, betting put us as underdogs.

So what? Let's cost 'em all some money!

I lost a mint last SB with the Seahawks because of refs and LAS VEGAS.

Now they are giving us back a gift.
No wonder the refs have been favoring us throughout the playoffs, or so it seems.


Humm. If I had to do it all over again, I would bet the same ridiculous amount on the hawks again.

Take the Seahawks (+125) on the money line.

Seriously, the hawks are +125 on the money line?

I'm not a sports gambler but I may have to jump on that... I can't believe they are getting that kind of action.
