I lived in Calif. back in time, and Raider Fans refinanced their houses to bet against the Bucs.( SB37)
To Quote a movie WAR GAMES ." the only way to win, is not to play".
90% of all bets come from the heart, just look at the neon lights outside the casino's you and
I paid for, The Other 10% are heavy money guys knowing you or someone like you will take the bet.
The only bet I will take is my kitchen timer won't overcook my wings, still a gamble though.

On the Seahawks? I don't deny the possibility of NE winning I'll but the house Seattle keeps it under 43.

I'm not a Seattle fan. In fact I hate them. But I hate the Patriots more.

Maybe I should I go to a museum Sunday or see a movie ...

I am a fan of the Pats, and I don't see them scoring 30 on the Seachick's D.

Seriously. The Pats are going to win in a blowout. The game will be over before the start of the 3rd quarter.

. . .there was no middle ground. It was either going to be nip and tuck to the very end or a beat down that would be over "by the middle of the 3rd quarter." I gave it 7.5 minutes longer than you, i guess.

So in other words, over at halftime?

That would, I'm guessing, project to an insurmountable lead of what, maybe 35 points? Largest halftime comeback in NFL history was the Bills-Oilers playoff game - 32 pts.

You really think the Seahawks, who gave up an average of less than 16 points A GAME during the regular season, will be down by 35 (or more) at halftime?

Not saying it couldn't happen but it seems ridiculously unlikely.
