[MoneyLineDawg]

I'll give it a shot first:

Broncos -3
49ers +3

Broncos -1.5
Seahawks +1.5

49ers -1
Patriots +1

Seahawks -3
Patriots +3

If the broncos end up being -1.5 vs Seattle I may go all in for the first time ever.

You pretty much have to bet the NFC in the Super Bowl, don't you?

[bubblebuttluv]

The NFC has far more complete teams, so yeah probably.

I want Welker to get a ring though.

Agree and Seattle will be favored over Denver for sure baring injuries or something freaky happening. Just look at the futures, Seattle favorite to win it all(by a little) and have perceived tougher game to get there = they are favored over Denver.

[MoneyLineDawg]

We all wanna see Broncos and Seahawks....No real Cinderella this year no matter what

[bubblebuttluv]

MoneyLineDawg, I think the lines for Broncos vs 49ers and Broncos vs Seahawks should be flipped (so Broncos -3 vs Seahawks and Broncos -1.5 vs 49ers). Both teams are very, very similar but 49ers are typically a better road team (even though a Super Bowl venue and "Road Game" are different). The Seahawks are very good, but that powerful 12th man helps them a good bit.

49ers -3.5 vs Patriots and Seahawks -2.5 vs Patriots.

[innovation]

power rankings.....overall + away + last 5


Niners 45.9
Hawks 41.7
Broncos 35.93
Patriots 32.86


I know everyone loves offense but the value like Giant said is in NFC if they are + anything.

Niners shouldn't be a dog in the superbowl much less near pick em at Seattle right now.

[smitch124]

Sea -2.5 vs, NE
Sea pk vs. Den
Den -1.5 vs. SF
SF -1 vs. NE

[nvrlose37]

Heritage lists the NFC -1.5 for the SB. Not sure the formula they use to get that.

[Cookie Monster]

5dimes has only a ML on possible matchups, and I wind strange that SF is bigger fave vs patriots than Seattle. ML would translate to these spreads:
SF -3.5 NE
Sea -3 NE
Den -2.5 SF
Sea -1.5 Den

[CTOWNsCAPPIN]

Den. PK Sea
Den. -2.5. SF
SF. -3. NE
SEA. -3.5. NE

[konck]

Den-1.5 over seattle
No need for the rest

[GunShard]

Broncos -4
49ers +4

Broncos -4
Seahawks +4

Patriots -3
49ers +3

Patriots -3
Seahawks +3

[DoubleR90]

I honestly think a DEN vs SEA super bowl would be pk. The line might move to DEN -1.5 with public action but I think the opening line should be a pick em if thats the matchup. Basically explosive offense vs. explosive defense....they just matchup so well

You nailed it and I'll take the explosive defense any day if the week. Oak vs TB anyone?

[Koldazzice]

well a lot can change if anyone has a big victory this week but

49ers / bronc = pk
sea / bronc = bronc -1 (no 12th man here)

49ers / NE = 49ers -3/3.5 (3 will be juiced -120ish)
sea / NE = sea -2.5 (again no 12th man and NE stock will rise with a win @ denver)

[mikemca]

Obviously I'm in the minority but I think Seattle gets exposed if they make it to SB.

Niners a more balanced road team but outside @NY should be advantage Seattle should they make it.

Turnovers win games and these ballhawks are well proven even on the road.

[RonPaul2008]

Most of the people in this thread are wildy overrating the Broncos with their dogshit defense.

[lakerboy]

Sea -1.5 over den
Sea -2.5 over ne
Sf -1.5 over ne
Sf/den pk

[k13]

Broncos -4
49ers +4

Patriots -3

Way off...

Niners are -135 vs Denver at 5 dimes.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Just figured Broncos will be huge public play and line possibly a point or 2 inflated

Surprising they will be dogs in the Superbowl

Was not saying I agree

[MickeyMan]

Broncos -4
49ers +4

Broncos -4
Seahawks +4

Patriots -3
49ers +3

Patriots -3
Seahawks +3

How would the Seahawks be 4 point dogs in the Super Bowl when they are faves to win it right now??

[BigdaddyQH]

Basically, you have the two complete teams (NFC) and the two Super Star Teams (AFC). Either Brady or Manning can carry their teams to a victory over the NFC West teams, but the NFC West teams have overall better performers.

[gui_m_p]

Denver -1.5
SF

Denver PK
Seattle

SF -3
NE

Seattle -3.5
NE

Agree

Lol. He was hoping to get den -500

[gui_m_p]

Similar to Colts. vs Bears in 2007, no? Seattle is better than that Chicago, but I think Peyton knows how to figure out a strong defense. To beat him you have to score lot of points (Colts and Pats this year) or keep him out of field (Chargers this year).

Seattle -1.5 Denver
Seattle -3 -115 New England
San Francisco -2.5 Denver
