Re: 2020 UJR NFL Football Pool: Super Bowl
Wow, I was expecting the spread to be much higher. I wondered how much the Brady effect would have to level the betting, but i had no idea it would get it down to 3.
Kansas City -3.

Re: 2020 UJR NFL Football Pool: Super Bowl
I was kind of surprised myself. But that line opened at -3 and just stayed there. I've seen -3.5 at a couple of books, but they are few and far between.

Re: 2020 UJR NFL Football Pool: Super Bowl
Well, I saw a picture last night of Eli Manning celebrating after the NY Giants defeated an undefeated NE Patriot team for a Super Bowl win several years ago. So, I guess anything can happen.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 4:01 pm I was kind of surprised myself. But that line opened at -3 and just stayed there.

If I remember that year right, that was the year the Cowboys won the division and the Giants were a wildcard. Then the Giants go and run the table in the playoffs.

In 2007 The Giants were a true Wild Card team. In 2011 they won the NFC East but had to play in a Wild Card game.

Re: 2020 UJR NFL Football Pool: Super Bowl
Well, if freaking Eli Manning can take a wild card team out of the NFC East and beat an undefeated Tom Brady team in the Super Bowl, then anything is possible. I might change my pick in this before Sunday rolls around. I hate betting against Brady, but holy crap KC wins this hands down on paper.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 5:53 pmSorry, I should have worded that differently.Animal wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 5:46 pmwhen was the 2nd time?Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 5:10 pmBOTH times the Giants beat the Pats in the Super Bowl the Giants were a Wild Card team!Animal wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 5:00 pmWell, I saw a picture last night of Eli Manning celebrating after the NY Giants defeated an undefeated NE Patriot team for a Super Bowl win several years ago.

KC's OL is a mess, and a Bowles-led defense is not the team you want to meet with a depleted OL.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 4:01 pm I was kind of surprised myself. But that line opened at -3 and just stayed there. I've seen -3.5 at a couple of books, but they are few and far between.
Mahomes' turf-toe better be healed, 'cause he's likely to be running for his life. Though he's probably one of the few who can be successful doing that.

Tampa Bay up huge at halftime. They will regret not converting that 4th and goal.

What I thought about KC's patchwork OL vs Tampa's DL is coming true, and now Tampa's offense is beating up on KC's defense (they may be getting tired)

Mahomes is running for his life, but he's still making incredible throws. But Tampa's secondary is tough too.

Re: 2020 UJR NFL Football Pool: Super Bowl
I believe I made a guarantee prediction 2 days ago that this SB would not involve Brady or Mahomes but would be the Tampa Bay defense.
