LRP: Seattle-New England Super Bowl Thoughts, Opening Line
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports
By Tony George
What a Sunday, as BOTH Championship games surprised me in numerous ways. A thriller in the Pacific Northwest and a Blowout in New England. The line has opened for the Super Bowl at Seattle -1 and the Total at 48.5. That was a surprise to me considering the public reacts to what they just saw and Vegas oddsmakers know this, and I thought you would see New England by 3. The total I figured 48 so that sits about right considering the firepower on offense New England has.
In the Seattle and Green Bay game I was speechless, like most watching it unfold the last 4 minutes and into overtime. While every year of handicapping games for the past 23 years no matter what sport, I always see a game or two and say, “well I have seen it all now.” Once more I have to say, while it surely was the most unreal scenario and I caught myself saying that, we all again will see a game in the future in some sport that makes this one a distant memory and an afterthought, but WOW!
