Then I'd be pissed off at myself. I have $1,800 on Seattle right now to win $600. I'm not worried about losing my 1800. If SF wants it that badly... then beat Seattle and take it from me. That's the way I look at it.
If Seattle was 4-2 or 5-1 I don't make this play. This is... A MUST WIN FOR SEATTLE. The line indicates this. SF didn't have playoff hopes entering this season. No one talked about them. They aren't going anywhere. Seattle is always talked about. They have better talent. Better skilled players. I trust Russell Wilson. He's not going to let me down. I just believe.
Like I said... this isn't an emotional play. Not a chase call. This is one of those Mike Tyson VS Peter McNeeley ML's... and we all know what happened to McNeeley.
