Super Bowl pointspread

Even though it's in the first half of the NFC championship game, I say either way, Denver's gonna be a 6 point favorite.
What will be interesting this year is watching the weather as it gets close to gameday.
Freezing rain? The over under might go down.

    Better bet is whether the George Washington Bridge is open.

    Betting lines were all available to be bet before this weekends games and in no scenario was an AFC team a favorite.

    This is what I saw, as well. I'm certain Seattle would be favored if they win. Will be interesting to see what the line would be if SF wins the NFC.

    The NFC champ will be favored in the Super Bowl. SF and Seattle have very strong defenses and potent offenses. Denver's offense is top notch, but it's defense has not been that good this season. It did play well today though.

    I think Denver will play very well in the Superbowl this year and avoid being blown out like it was in 1978, 1987, 1988 and 1990.

    After opening as a 1.5 point underdog, Denver is now favored by a point.

    As of now, it's anywhere from a pick 'em up to DEN -2.5

    I'm expecting even more money to come in on Denver as the game approaches. I would certainly grab Denver at pick em.

    I'm guessing the big boys swung the spread early, hoping that the weather report will be favorable for Seattle, so that when the spread inevitably swings the other way, they wouldn't be giving more than a field goal. If it's teen's/20's with winds, I think Seattle swings to a 1-pt favorite. If it is 40+, Denver stays as favorites.

    As much as I love Manning and his comeback story culminating in a title, I must say I'm leaning towards Seattle right now. Especially if the weather is going to be as nasty as some people are speculating. Unfavorable weather conditions and Seattle's secondary are going to be tough on the Denver passing attack.

    That being said, I'm happy to see the line creeping Denver's way. I'll probably wait until next week to lay it down for Seattle.

    The OU is at 48.

    As a side note, DEN averaged 37.9 points/game during the regular season.

    That's very tempting, but they haven't faced a defense, specifically a secondary, like Seattle's. If that total goes over 48, Denver is winning the game for sure.

    I'll be impressed with anyone who has the balls to bet against Peyton Manning.

    The guy gets to the line of scrimmage, looks for the mismatch, and finds it many times.

    I just couldn't bet against that guy.
