Runner Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 After the past 3 games, I figured that Pittsburgh would be favorites. I'm surprised that it is 4 points. I like Pittsburgh better as the underdog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinersIn2006! Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 #6 seed in the AFC is a 4 pt favorite to #1 seed in the NFC http://www.footballbet.net/lines.html Anyone think Seattle loves being the under dog here. Yep, Im picking Pitt to win this game.. 1282781[/snapback] ARE YOU SERIOUS!??!?! No disrespect to Pitt fans (I'm rooting you on), but I thought the SeaHAWKS would be favored by about 3 or 4...I just thought that Seattle would be favored based on the seeds... I'm still kicking myself for not taking the NFC +10 a few weeks ago...you could bet that on the website I am a member of, but they took that down real fast when Indy fell...

darin3 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 May have something to do with the fact that this will be the next closest thing to a home game for the Steelers as being at Heinz. Steeler fans travel well, and Detroit's pretty close as it is. Steelers are hot, and have the experience. Seahawks will get little love, and in my view deserve the underdog start on the line.

Skippy Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I am a little surprised that it opend at 4. I did expect the Steelers to be favored but I am a homer so that may cloud my judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcat2334 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I love it- I think getting Sea +4 is a strong play. I was thinking more like Pitt-1, maybe a pick em. I love Sea + points- while playing in Det could prove to be an edge for Pitt-- I think Sea is rolling nicely, and I will be on them for sure.

Squeegiebo Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 The AFC champion would have been favored no matter who it was, because the NFC sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattsass Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 The oddsmakers were convinced about Pittsburgh going to the Superbowl before the Championship games, and they are quite happy to have the match-up they have. They do great business taking action on Pittsburgh, and they know that their fans will have no problem laying 4. It seems like a high number, but there is a method to their madness.

I say the spread climbs not drops. MANY will pick Pitt I bet especially the "experts". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yep, Im picking Pitt to win this game.. 1282781[/snapback] This scares me more than anything. Sgt. Ryan, though he never admits it, has been wrong again and again. Everything he predicts seems to go the other way, so this pick has me worried.

Vet Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Once the Steelers won, I figured they'd be 3 over the Seahawks and 5 or 6 over the Panthers. I might grab that extra point if I can still get it. I must admit that if it were not for Menudo, I would have absolutely no interest in this Superbowl whatsoever. I'd be just like everyone else in the world. But the guy is so annoying that I know I'll be tuning in and rooting hard for the Seahawks. So thank you, Menudo. Thank you for giving me one more Sunday of football with a rooting interest. Now...if you could just find some way to be so annoying that you get me to watch the Pro Bowl.... Ahhh...nevermind. No one could be that annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gdawg Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I thought the Steelers would be favored by three. Hopefully we will see an entertaining game. We've been pretty lucky so far this decade with regard to the SB, hopefully that'll continue. No more 1990's style blowouts please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perchoutofwater Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I'd definitely take the Seatle and the points. I'm not saying they are going to win the game, but I see it as a close one, and I think Seatle covers, if they don't win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Ryan Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) This scares me more than anything. Sgt. Ryan, though he never admits it, has been wrong again and again. Everything he predicts seems to go the other way, so this pick has me worried. 1283020[/snapback] Actually, everything I predict publically here is to stir some feathers. Lets just say I was 59% vs the spread this yr and brought in a cool 2K this yr, as opposed to $1700 last yr. And Im picking Pitt because it will cause Oprahers like you to say, this scares me. Ill be rooting for Seattle, but think Pitt wins this game. correction, 59%, wouldnt want to fudge the numbers 28 of 47 with 3 push bets. Edited January 23, 2006 by Sgt.

Caveman_Nick Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I thought going into the playoffs tha the 2 best teams were NE and Pitt. Seems like the odds makers have come around to my way of thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
