Superbowl Line

**moses millsap** · 01-22-06, 06:15 PM

BTW, above line was taken from Olympic. Don't see it up on Pinny or Cris yet. 5dimes has Steelers -5 against both teams.

**moses millsap** · 01-22-06, 09:31 PM

With Seattle's dismantling of Carolina, line has shifted to -3/-3.5 now.

**quarm_** · 01-22-06, 09:36 PM

hmm...i see no reason why pittsburgh should be the fav over seattle. Looks more like a even game to me

**quarm_** · 01-22-06, 09:56 PM

lol...Cris has a 160/-190 ML atm...why would anyone bet there and not at pinny?
Pinny has 168/-178. Nothing against CRIS, but this is just bad.

**mad** · 01-22-06, 10:03 PM

Steelers only 3 point favourites is a gift imo.

**onlooker** · 01-22-06, 10:04 PM

Pinnacle

NFL Football - Sun 2/5
Sun 2/5 301 Seattle Seahawks +4 -110 +166 OVER 47 -105
03:20 PM 302 Pittsburgh Steelers -4 +102 -176 UNDER 47 -105

**Razz** · 01-22-06, 10:12 PM

Just hammered the Steelers -3, and a little on Under.

**isetcap** · 01-22-06, 10:13 PM

If you can get Pittsburgh at -3, you better take it because without significant injury it will never get any lower than that.

I guess I'm the only one that likes Seattle. I'll wait closer to gametime though.

Im going to wait and see what happens durning the coming weeks. Who knows who will get in trouble in Detroit before game day.

**isetcap** · 01-22-06, 10:24 PM

After the hype from this win wears off, ML is going to move close to +200 for Seattle. That makes the -174 for Pittsburgh very attractive.

**Dark Horse** · 01-23-06, 02:33 AM

Unless something crazy happens, I will be playing on the Steelers, but this line (-3.5) is still too high. My own line is PIT -0.5. Anyway, I may play them in a teaser. Shouldn't be too hard to find another game to tease them with in the next two weeks. lol.

**bigboydan** · 01-23-06, 07:20 AM

this should be a perty decent superbowl, even with these two teams playing in it.

i still gotta cap this game, and maybe even check out the prop bets they have to offer out there.

Seahawks Super Bowl Winners.....31-17

Hey guys...This is A long time Seahawk fan and supporter since Seattle has been in the league,I went to all the games and even last nite.I predicted Seattle 28-20 or Seattle could run away with this game last nite and they did.You people have no idea how really good this defense is and getting better each game...young fast and very aggressive...it all comes down to who has the better offense in this Super Bowl and nobody has a better offense then Seattle....running and recievers.Lay your money on Steelers but Seattle will be victorious .......this is there year to shine and make Vegas and all the sportsbooks rich......Ha Ha

**spanky** · 01-23-06, 11:09 AM

sorry my friend,luxury of playing at home gone now.steelers have way too many weapons for seahawk def.steelers have 4-5 playmakers on off unlike wash and caro with only 2.steeler def will shut down alexander and force seahawks to throw againststeeler speed in secondary.

**darkghost** · 01-23-06, 11:32 AM

Looks to me like an even matchup but I figured the public will back Pittsburgh more, so if you like Pittsburgh bet'em now and if you're taking Seattle wait til kickoff. I'll end up waiting and looking to get a high ML on Seattle.

**tyetye64** · 01-23-06, 11:34 AM

Wow

Steelers have speed in secondary and Carolina does not????? Carolina has a better overall secondary then steelers and Hasselback will have a great game with 6 different recievers to throw to.

You may shut down the running game again...but watch out for tightend making alot of catches and short passes to open the running game.

Holmgren is not dumb when hooking up an offense to beat a defense...they just beat to highly ranked defenses back to back HANDILY.

I have a newfound respect for the Seahawks secondary. They completely shut down a quality vertical passing offense in the Panthers. Pairing that with Seattle's overpowering offensive line causes me concern if I am a Pittsburgh supporter. I think perfect capping in this game can only at best yield a 55% winner. Expect 1 big mistake to be the deciding factor. The game should be very close either way and a teaser or both sides of an alternative line may be the way to go.

My initial lean is towards the Seahawks OWNED, so you are not alone.

**quarm_** · 01-23-06, 02:11 PM

im with the seahawks too...i think 1 reason they put them as underdog is because they know there are way more steeler fans out there who will bet

**Illusion** · 01-23-06, 02:41 PM

Let's not forget about the east coast bias quarm. There's alot of people who don't know about this Seattle team.

**tyetye64** · 01-23-06, 03:32 PM

Seahawks will be known

For what it's worth, I bet a large amount of money on Pittsburgh -3, because I knew that was the lowest I would see the line at. I will be coming back and taking Seattle +5 or 6, though for a lesser amount.

**Razz** · 01-23-06, 05:32 PM

I've said all year that Seattle is a poor man's version of San Diego, and I think that honestly illustrates the difference in the AFC and NFC. Very few people think the #1 seed in the NFC will beat the #6 seed in the AFC, and frankly, they're right.

**spanky** · 01-23-06, 08:34 PM

once pro touts break this game down line will move to at least 6-6.5.i've been gambling for over35 yrs.i am retired now at 60 yrs old.

**Alamorich** · 01-23-06, 10:59 PM

I was also impressed with Seattles defense. Love the Steelers but I would rather take my chances with a good defense +4 or more points. Seattle has that "team of destiny" thing going on.

**onlooker** · 01-23-06, 11:06 PM

Wasnt the Seahawks once in the AFC? So we have a battle of two AFC teams.

**spanky** · 01-24-06, 12:44 AM

#16def against #32 schedule,is that good? is#4 def against#8 schedule better?

Spanky you dont even know the real stats about Seattles defense.

How about #2 in points allowed....#1 in the red zone,most sacks in the NFL.

When you get 3 interceptions against the HIGHEST rated QB ever in playoffs and hold an entire team to 6 yard in the 1st qr and 65 by half.

What are you on thinking this is not a good defense.....that game should have been a shutout and also the Redskins luck ass touchdown from a tipped ball could have been a shutout.

you look at statistics to much.......look at the scores....you can have 450 yards a game....but 7-10 points will not beat you.

You do realize this is not a Seattle Seahawks message board? I am sure everyone loves how you come on here and rub it in the face of people that were on the other side of the game. It's easy to back your favorite team and go on about it when they are winning. Maybe you could give us something about the other side of the ball that would help us decide?

BTW, not hard to stop a team when you know they have one option and a 4th string RB. Seattle had LB's playing 15-20 yards off the ball because they knew Carolina was forced to throw the ball because of the RB situation. Any team in the NFL can do that. Seattle may have had the easiest road during the regular season and post season to the Super Bowl ever. But I will give them credit because they did what they had to do and made it to the game.

**Adamo** · 01-24-06, 10:07 AM

I am with you too OWNED and Illusion. All I know is that Seattles has done well for me this year! If spanky is right I will wait for the +6 ;-)

Hmmm seems like the Bears andGiants could not do that.....I am all for Seattle.I am just pointing out that this team is for real and nobody gives them credit as always.Just remember that if they didnt play the last game of the season with all backups,Seattle would be on a 14 game winning streak.

Ben is a good QB....alittle inexperienced though.Seattles secondary will confuse him and rattle him,knock him down a few times and then will see.

Pitt has a good running attack though,may be tough to stop that against this team.Seattle will need to control clock,I look for long drives by both teams in this game.

But I still take Seattle because of 2 coaches....Holmgrens great offense mind and Ray Rhodes led defense.

Holmgren been there and won it.

Seattle also has 4 guys that have rings on that team and knows how to handle this big game.

Pitt has a lot of young guys....pressure may be the key to this game....if one or the other gets rattled early.

**GOD IM GOOD BB** · 01-24-06, 11:19 AM

Pressure - you make me laugh Tye. They beat the crap out of CINCY, INDY and DENVER - Division winners on the road. Let me say again, they really did beat the crap out of all three of these teams. Seattle on the other hand was in a dog fight with the REDSKINS. That game could have been 10 -0 at the half. Pressure got to HASSELSUC with those crap passes he was throwing up everytime the Redskins blitzed.

I'll say it now so I don't have to talk shit to you later
Pittsburgh rolls - EASILY - they will win by at least 14
