I've never been less excited about an upcoming Super Bowl

[ChuckyTheGoat]

A few things in play:

1) I can't get excited about the betting angle. Game line is sharp as a tack. Props can't possibly be as beatable as they once were. Been run thru the ringer...most #s are now dead-on.

2) This is going to be the Super Bowl matchup that SHOULD HAVE BEEN. Wentz vs Brady would have been great theatre, a passing of the torch (if u will). Foles vs Brady bores me to no end.

Chucky...Enjoy the game.

I think the line should be Patriots -7. (personally, I think they'll win by 14-28 points)

Brady is too good against the blitz. The best way to beat him is to remain in coverage and get pressure with just 4 linemen. The Eagles have a defense that can do that, Chris Long in particular. Jim Schwartz is a more talented coordinator than is McDaniels.

But historically, Brady has been very consistent in the SuperBowl. Their offense will score points. Foles is a very risky play, his team hosted Atlanta and barely beat them, then hosted a Vikings team that played flat coming off a miracle win. Without the flukey pick-6 play on Keenum down 7-0 I doubt the Eagles win that.

I heard the coin is weighted for heads. Can’t lose bet!

[USCPHILLYGUY]

I agree chucky. Let’s meet at sugar house and play some poker. No way this game is remotely competitive

[Dilo]

Chucky, I think you need some strippers for the superbowl.

[Hman]

Even though Foles is adequate enough to get the job done, I feel the same.

Just not as exciting as it could have been.

But hey, we still get to bet on it!

Looks as if you're only looking at one side of the story? What about the latest win--when it counts?
Wiped the Viking's completely out of sight.
The only other bad loss for the Vike's was way back in Sept., to the Steeler's, 26/9. The other two loses prior to Philly were close.
Philly is primed and confident, exactly when and where they should be at their finest. Beware.

* Is Gronk 100% healed and ready?

* Is Gronk 100% healed and ready?

The question is will he be able to pass concussion protocol & be able to play? (My guess is yes)

If he gets cleared, he’ll be 100%. Concussion won’t affect his playing ability one bit.

[cwnotorious]

I agree 100%, zero invested

[Philmill]

Just another game.... but the SB Parties tho

[Str8Mush4Life]

14-28 points? Good luck with that............

Brady against the blitz will have very little impact on this game. The Eagles rarely blitz, and might be the least blitzing team in the entire NFL................

Not sure, but jags was least blitzing team in nfl. They only blitzed once last week.

[daneblazer]

Same

Giants ravens close

[PAULYPOKER]

You have a rookie team going to the big dance to play
a team that is the best Superbowl team in the history of the NFL.......

What could go wrong?

OK, clown. You bet just to bet?

If you're an Eagles fan...then it would be fun. Fly, eagles, fly.

That is the most vital piece of information. I believe even if he cannot pass concussion protocol the league will because it will be pressured to put out a good product for the SuperBowl.

Gronk doesn't really need a functioning brain anyways. He dominates with sheer size and physicality.

Very much agreed.

Nevertheless it won't matter. As I extrapolated, NE offense matches up evenly with PHI defense(with a slight edge to NE). The mismatch is the NE defense against PHI offense because the latter has very questionable consistency issues. I expect Patricia to play it safe and drop a safety deep, in all likelihood they'll intercept a Foles bomb or two. The NE corners will be on alert for out patterns.

My boys at Parx say it's a dump..

True or false?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I'll give u one betting angle on this game. Note: I have no dog in the fight.

1) One bit of "evidence" the talking-heads present is Patriot history of CLOSE super-bowl games. Ergo, pts have played in virtually every Brady SB.

2) Eagles have become "live" in most people's minds. 3weeks ago, Foles was a bum. Now, he's a stud.

Think about it. If u like $$, u can't beat the Eagles again at a # that's shortened up. If line dips to -3.5, how can u take Eagles? Pats -pts, or pass.

What, 40 year old Brady vs 40 year old Foles doesn't excite you?

[Shute]

Always excited about Super Bowl
No matter what
2 weeks without football then the game
You can always find an angle
If your team isn’t in it then better for you to watch and enjoy

[magaman]

If you cannot look forward to watching and/or wagering the superbowl you simply are not a football fan

[Dilo]

Chucky might be a nba fan, he’s not worried about the last bet of the football season.

[DISTROYA]

ditto that. prayed minnesota would win to at least have a chance with home field, but the way they played the last 6 playoff quarters my goodness they were awful. NE wouldve destroyed them. Kudos to Philly, they deserve to be here. Just dont see it being very competitive I think the waaaay overdue Pats blowing out a team in a super bowl is gonna take place here. Im actually going...first and last one of my life, with my son. Hope I dont freeze to death. Also hope Im wrong as I despise the Pats, along with the entire world outside of Mass.

[ebelisle22]

patriots by 50

Dilo, I'm a sports-fan in general. I like a lot of different sports.

Of course, I enjoy NFL. Just saying that this particularly game isn't appealling to me. Patriot-fatigue setting in, have seen it b4.

As for betting, I don't bet NBA. CollBask, yes. I'm saying that you shouldn't be betting the Super Bowl just b/c it's a "big game."

And I see no betting angle here. Eagles getting too much love. But the # (-4) isn't out of line.

[JIBBBY]

Not that excited for this Superbowl either.. Not my 2 favorite teams.. Thank God for action just put it that way.. GO PATS!!! ....

You hit on the 2nd betting angle that might be relevant. In the two-week window...the sports-radio talking-heads have to talk about something. The angle ALL of them came up w/ was the history of close Patriot Super Bowls. A lot of 3-pt games...so +4 looks more live here.

If the spread/moneyline was a tad shorter...I'd go w/ Patriots. At -4, I pass.

[StatePenn]

Philly is electric right now, looking to eclipse the 2008 World Series celebration tonight.
