7.5 seems too much

Not sure if they win, but to get more then a touchdown against a team that has not beat a winning team yet seems like a gift. So does only laying less then a field goal in the SF game. Teams that have a run like NYG fall flat sooner rather then later. This is their time. Ill be happy to see a Balt/SF superbowl

My book has it a 7 right now. Thinking about buying the 1/2 point now to 6 1/2.

Ravens D is a step slower and no where near what they use to be. Tom Brady is no Yates. Just too many weapons on the Pats. I see the Pats winning by at least 10 points.

yeah, it's at a solid 7 at my book too.
If betting the pats get the 6.5 (or 7 at the worst)
if betting balty then that 7.5 is awesome.

Vegas books have it pretty much this way. Pats -7, and 49ers -2.5. The books are begging people to take the 49ers. That is because the Giants are basically following the same pattern that they did back in 2007, when they won the Superbowl after playing all of their playoff games on the road, the lat being a win at Green Bay. The Giants won 3 straight games before winning that Superbowl, against (you guessed it) New England. An Undefeated New England team. The Giants have now won two straight games. The Pats have now won 9 games in a row. In 2007, they won all of their playoff games, which were at home. There is a lot of history repeating itself so far.

Well, giants were wild card in 2007 and played 3 road games then the superbowl. Here they were division champs and played 1 home, 1 road game so far.
But that momentum sure does look the same.

Can't tell if vegas is begging people to take the 9'ers or the giants. Giants at +2.5 has a FG loss hurting the public and hurting the books for those with sf -2.5. I guess they really have this dead even at win/loss. They're more so asking for people to buy the 1/2 pt and willing to push or take what comes with the winner and of course the people who didn't buy the 1/2.

Public bets are at 57% giants which is the majority but I would have thought it'd be a higher % to get it off the -3.

you really thought it would be 10.5 + ?

I would have been much more shocked to see a 10.5 then a 6.5... I was suprised to see the 9 to be honest with all the talk about n.e's defense all season and ray lewis and ed reeds last year

very nice vagina dollabil

No I did not think it would get to 10 what I found interesting is that it got to 9/ but not 10. Its like they were begging for ravens money. But then thats just my opinion. You bring up ray lewis and Ed Reed retiring. Means nothing in the grand scheme of things as players retire all the time.

They are at the end of their time so they are NOT what they once were. ray lewis is a mouth piece at this stage in the game hence the reason he will hopefully retire. Prison may be in his future.

Ravens will tank out in this game...look for Pats to cover this game pretty easy. Brady versus Flacco...that's like Courtney Cummz sucking a golf ball through the other end of a water hose! Put your money on the Pats boys!
