The 94 49ers were a truly great team and the 94 Chargers were big underdogs to win the AFC on the road at the Steelers.
NFC Championship: Cardinals vs. Panthers
- Thread starter jablo1312
- Start date
I wonder if the first half line has ever been bigger than the line?But the Panthers in the first half, no matter the line.
Guess we know what the biggest upset in SB history was. Patriots in XXXVI was pretty big too.
I read that and was very impressed. I am not suggesting they will even the money or even close to it. But they are not going to ignore money pouring in for Denver either.
Stich noted, and it makes sense to me, that Vegas probably believe the right line for this afternoon's game was pick 'em or Den -1
I was a big bandwagon fan of the Montana and Young 49ers. The Pats were bad for a lot of those years, so what the hell. Some people were still concerned going into the super bowl about Steve getting too fired up and screw up, but six touchdown passes calmed everybody down.
As dominant as they were DEN didn't really have to defend much outside the numbers today and the Pats running game was extremely vanilla. You saw in the PIT-DEN game that a good o-line can open holes against Denver. Carolina makes you defend the whole field and they are constantly running misdirection out of what seems like 50 different formations.
I couldn't figure this one out. I tried to do the math...a 1-point extra kick makes it a 26-point game, still a four possession game. Is there a benefit to a 27-point lead at this point I'm missing?
I wonder if the 2-pt is just to get the in-game practice, especially after seeing the end of our game. Kinda like the Pats onside vs the Redskins earlier this year.
If the Patriots went for 2, while up 25 points, with 5 minutes left, people (haters) would be losing their minds...
Give the Vegas bookies their due. They apparently had about five times as much money come in on the Pats as on the Broncs, yet they kept that line at Pats -3 (and to be captain obvious, a push would not have been far-fetched if the game had gone to OT). I would have had that one as a pick 'em. I strongly suspect that they will go the same route with a Denver-Carolina match up, no matter how much Denver money floods in.
If NE would have been gimpy into this game (OL fucked, Edelman back to not 100%), no chance. Let DEN be slaughtered
They are underestimated in BBTL. Look at the predictions thread. 35 Ari 19 Car. For a game in Car. Which win by 34 points.
The rationale was always the same, the schedule. But the Pats played a weak schedule too.
Well, if history repeats itself... Let Denver get slaughtered by this up and coming beast in the NFC and we'll come in and take care of business in '17.
