taterhill Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 this BIG controversey where Jeramy Stevens actually said his team was coming to win is really ridiculous...QUIT TRYING to invent stories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJPearl2 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 It was actually a little more than that. And for a boring Super Bowl (Pitt will win easily and everyone knows it) this stuff is like gold for reporters. Also, Stevens said a little more than "we are coming to win." He singled out Bettis and Porter, saying that it will be sad to see Bettis leave without a ring and that Porter wont be able to sack Hasselbeck b/c he won't be able to get around Walter Jones.

duey Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Not everyone knows that. Or am I the only person in the country who thinks Seattle is going to win? 592425[/snapback] I think it's going to be a close game that is decided in the final two minutes. I think it could go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it could go either way. 592440[/snapback] That's what I'm hoping for. In fact I hope we have an OT game. Pittsburgh wins with a FG in OT.

Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Not everyone knows that. Or am I the only person in the country who thinks Seattle is going to win? 592425[/snapback] They quietly dominated their division, their conference, then got home field and made it work. Won a playoff game without their star RB. I think they can win. We'll know more when the game is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Coli Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Not everyone knows that. Or am I the only person in the country who thinks Seattle is going to win? 592425[/snapback] I think Seattle wins by 10 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin in Va Beach Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I think Seattle wins by 10 points. 592576[/snapback] Yeah but that's because you like stickin' it to The Man! Colin Cowherd was talking to bookies on his show earlier, and they agreed that because Vegas had Pittsburgh only giving 4 pts that everyone would swoop in to place that bet for the Steelers to cover when in reality it was Vegas trying to make Pittsburgh an attractive bet because they think Seattle is going to win. Or something like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or something like that... 592584[/snapback] Maybe this is what you're saying and I'm just having a bad comprehension day, but bookies NEVER try to encourage everyone to bet on one side of a line. The goal is to set the line to get as close to a 50-50 split of bets as possible. That way all of the books make money on the vig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the bookies agreed that the number would go up and the Steelers would be giving 6 1/2 or 7 by game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all started when Stevens was asked about Bettis playing in his home town. He said it was nice for him, but it would be sad that he wasn't going to win. What the hell was he supposed to say? "Yeah, I really hope he can win this one." And while everyone is taking it way out of proportion, Porter isn't helping matters. He just wants to be the center of attention during SB week. Whatever. I don't have high hopes, but I really hope Pitt loses this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Donahoe Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Not everyone knows that. Or am I the only person in the country who thinks Seattle is going to win? Nope, but I feel like I am sometimes as well. Must because they're way up there in the northwest, but nobody is giving Seattle near enough credit.

Dr. K Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I think Seattle wins, and it won't be close. Then again, I am a Bills fan, and am often wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
