It's seems like the "perfect strategy" but I don't buy it! Son thought for sure line would be -7 at the lowest! Betting against my home teams I know for sure I am in the red when all added up! Of course betting in general I know I'm in the red, just doesn't hurt as much mentally with those losses!
 
I'm going by the notion that Carolina is the most quiet, underrated 15-1 team. They destroying motherfokers, and still get little credit.
On the other side my impression is that AFC was very weak this season. Patriots won what 1 of their last 7 they were living off their legendary name. And Manning looks like Tebow minus the running game.

But teams always adjust, and it's possible the old timers will come up with a genius strategy, or at least payoff the Panthers to make it look close :grin:
 
Interesting article Mr.Q. I said I like -8, but I expected the line to be less than that. So sounds about right. (I'm in line with the public) Probably means Denver's gonna win. Although seeing the books get buried would be nice too.
 
I am in a quandary over this one. Even not betting and preferring college, I still usually pick a team and cheer them on for this game. But this time...

1. I have always had an irrational hatred for John Elway and always want his team to lose.
2. Mad respect for Denver's D. I think it is better than given credit for.
3. I would like Manning to have a good game because his career is at the end, the press has called him noodlearm and been insulting.
4. See #1.
5. I hate Cam Newton and have since he beat Bama in the Iron Bowl.
6. I like Mike Shula since he QBed at Bama. Plus he is nice eye candy.
7. Carolina's D is nasty good and I love a good defense.
8. I love Roman Harper.
9. See #5.

my best case scenario would be for Von Miller to knock Cam Newton out in the first quarter and Carolina win on the last play of the game with a field goal.
 
that's a hell of a write up Nina. Why do you hate Elway? I'm sure he's a Republican.
Elway was the butt of jokes throughout his career and only after the SB win against Green Bay did he and the Broncos get any respect.

Super Bowl is usually such an anti-climactic, disappointing event for me. I'm going to a party and gonna make up some props that multiple people can get bet on, such as what time the 1st point is scored. So I'm gonna have to watch it. I'm not sure what I need to root for, to not be pissed again afterwards. :dunno:
 
I don't know why, Reno. I just always have. And since it causes no harm to anyone, I will keep on hating him just cause I can! I like being irrational like that. I was happy when he retired but no...he's back now and won't go away.
