Yeah those lines are way out of whack. It can happen when you get ultra popular teams like the niners and pats.

Whose betting to win?

Those numbers will come down as the money comes in on SF and NE

So far Pats are making Ravens look silly. Totally outsmarting them.

Loving it!!!

Can't wait to see this ugly Kaepernick kid get beat badly in the SuperBowl. No way is this Larry the Cucumber looking idiot going to keep up his luck for another week. :lol:

Holy crap, what a huge change at halftime for Ravens.

Shows making changes during the game can be a game changer.

Not many coaches or teams do this well.

Ravens are a totally different team right now.

Gawd, I cannot stand that team.

Bernard Pollard better leave that building with a bulletproof vest.

By far the dirtiest player in league history. He ends Brady's entire season a few years ago in the 1st game of the year. Then he causes Welker to get hurt the next year, out for the season & playoffs. Then causes Gronk to get hurt last year - hurt for the SuperBowl and they arguably lose because of it. Then throws a dirty head to head hit on Ridley this year, causing a fumble and completely changing the game.

Looks like the ONLY way to beat the Patriots is if their top players are hurt. That's pretty pathetic. I hate to make excuses but the've been purely unlucky in the most important moments of the past 5-6 years.

I told everybody months ago it would be Ravens Vs 49ers...I already bet $300 on the Ravens to beat 49ers because Ravens was the underdog this whole series & beat tougher teams then the 49ers. It was Colts then Denver Broncos now Patroits.

I am glad the Patriots lost but even that they only scored 13...shocking - and the amount of choking at the goal territory - quite weird.

I liked SF from back in the days of Montana and Rice so can hope.

I like the grit of the Ravens though.

I mention here a day or so ago I cannot stand the Ravens. They play dirty, head hunt and for years have went after key players to hurt them.

I used to think Pittsburgh was flat out dirty but this bunch of idiots has even Pittsburgh beat.

Cocky nasty dirty mouthy players like the Ravens is why kids have turned away from telling Mom and Dads when I grow up I want to play in the NFL.

My brothers and their buddies played in the back yard for years pretending to be NFL players. Now kids dont even want to toss the football around.

They do go out and play basketball and baseball here but never see any kids playing football.

The good ole days of kids wanting to be like Joe Montana, Roger Staubach, Boomer Esiason, Dan Marino, and many good defensive players who played for the love of the game and not to hurt someone is long gone.

The hit on Ridley should bring a hefty fine and suspension from the SB.

COUNT how many Ravens player today hit Pats players helmet to helmet. Lots!

Nailed those on the head with no hesitation.

Update: My bad, brain fart on last post.

Here ya go folks.........

Futuremogul888 - 55pts (PATRIOTS/Falcons) ***WINNER***
zoneout - 50pts (Broncos/FALCONS)
mcmx - 50pts (PATRIOTS/Packers)
Packattack12 - 30pts (Broncos/PACKERS)
Sandy D - 30pts (PATRIOTS/Redskins)
AmazonStealth - 25pts (Patriots/PACKERS)

Falcons?

They are already on vacation in the Bahamas.

You mean not one of us picked either team in the SB at all.

Damn we suck as a team.

Yup, it's terrible. Took the words right out of my mouth.

Now, the Patriots can only go so far when their top players are INJURED. It's frustrating to watch these devastating injuries and wildly unlucky plays kill them year after year. Especially when arguably the greatest QB of all time, Brady, career is nearing an end.

It's sad to say and is maybe too early to think about - but I think they might have to get rid of Welker and bring in a guy like Fitzgerald or Jennings.

I would honestly put all my money on them to win the SuperBowl if I knew they'd stay just somewhat healthy. I'm a big Pats fan and I can literally go on for days with my frustration over any loss.

Pats were making Ravens look like fools 1st half.

Ravens went to locker room and came up with a new game plan.

Lets hurt anyone of value or at least try to.

Ravens should not even have been in this game, they got lucky last week and this week pulled their normal HEAD HUNTER dirty tricks.

Sure they are a physical group but SF might just be able to toss up some very large servings of the same thing if they start to play dirty.

SF is very physical and more athletic then Ravens.

Ravens I am sure are already thinking how to take out Crabtree, Gore etc.

Interesting to see the spread for this game. I would assume 49ers +3.5 or so. I think the public will ride the ravens and the Ray Lewis inspirational story of his last go. When the public loves a team, always go the other way.

I know a few people in vegas who make more money on huge games, and lets just say they kill it. They sent me a picture of their betting ticket today for the ravens game. 20k on ravens straight up.

Good job!

And congrats to Futuremogul888 !!! :hail:

Honestly, this is one of those pools where nobody won. We were all way off. I was just slightly less off.

Interesting take on the event that has occured ;)

All I can say is Karma for the Pats fans...havent won the big one after getting caught cheating...

Clairvoyant Camel Predicts Baltimore Ravens to Win Super Bowl | ABC News Blogs - Yahoo!

You would have won if you picked 49ers like I was saying Sandy :mad2:

Would it be violating the rules to do a march madness pool for money?

Anybody want to make a wager on the 49ers Vs Ravens???? The 49ers is predicted to win. However, I pick the underdog Ravens to win. No points on how much they will win by and I predict it will be a close game but I pick Ravens. PM me if interested. Losers send it $$$ to Paypal.

Why did you not get into the pool rsot?

I did not trust the new QB and did not see them much this year.

Did not realize the overall talent and athletes they have on both sides.

I hope they win, cant stand the dirty playing head hunter Ravens.

Thinking of buying a Ravens helmet and hitting it a hammer several times and selling it as a game used helmet to helmet 7 time hits vs Pats players helmet.

Big bucks.

Pretty bad when animals did better then the rest of us here on the forum.

@Sandy_D, yes I lazily did not enter the pool - was my bad. Happens :)

Bringing up the Patriots "cheating" is the most ignorant thing that can ever be said in regards to football. If you knew just the slightest thing about the situation, you would know that the commissioner of the NFL clearly stated what they did "gave them no competitive advantage". Case closed, Mr. Bills fan.

Great Comeback...Case Closed...Of Coarse the NFL would say that...they want to hide it as much as possible...Heck...they even lost the tapes...COME ON MAN...If they didnt think it was cheating, how come they fined them and took draft picks away...Knowing the other teams signals would'nt give them a competivie edge...really...

I am not a bills fan...I just like Mr. Bill..the character that started on SNL

You clearly know nothing about the situation seeing as everything you've tried mentioning so far has been wrong and flat out ignorant.

Spelling seems to be another thing you know very little about. (Coarse? Would'nt? Competivie?) It looks like you must have misspelled your username as well, considering the fact you claim it comes from "Mr. Bill" and not the "Buffalo Bills". I guess you just felt like adding an extra 's'? Lol get out of here, bud.

Pats cheat and the Ravens are dirty. How's that?

Should be one heck of a game tho

I would much rather see a team as good as the Pats have been over the last 10 years get caught NOT cheating then to see the dirty head shot play of the Ravens.

Play like this ruins the game and hurts players who are husbands, fathers etc to others.

7 head shots by the Ravens in one game and not a word from NFL commissioner. He should have already WARNED them that player will be ejected and fined large sums of money for any and all head shots that appear to be purposely done like all 7 last week were.

No one enjoys dirty football players who are hell bent like the Ravens on taking out the prime players of the other team, if you do then you are heartless and need to watch the WWF or something.

The other thing that ticks me off is the ESPN guys and fans are all cranked up about the retirement of Ray Lewis.

Sure he has been an awesome player and is a good god loving man but come on the man will be a HOF but he is not among the best ever.

Then the issue is Tony Gonzalez. Mr Cool and is one of the best ever to play the game at TE said early this would be his last year and no one says a word.

Gonzalez will be a HOF and probably in the top 5 if not top 2-3 TE ever.

Ray Lewis would not make my top 50 LB of all time.

Then the issue of Miami Hurricanes, I call it the dirty U, and of course Lewis played there. They won titles by being good but also were known for being dirty. The Ohio St Buckeyes were bitten, scratched, cleated, stepped on in the championship game and ended up beating them anyway.

The U is a training grounds for many dirty players. Not all but many.

Remember when the U players went into the stands and was hitting opposing teams fans with their helmets. Bunch of criminals playing football.

all these games are run to achieve the best ratings. when riddley got knocked out he was down before he fumbled however it was not even reviewed. sports are a joke and referees control the game based on outside influences.
this is all coming from a big sports fan but these games are impossible to watch without seeing constant manipulating of the rules, CONSTANT!

I agree, its really getting old.

Like ND playing Alabama and how they hyped up ND as a great team.

Perfect example of why things need to change in college FB as ND did not deserve to be in this game even though unbeaten. Not a hard schedule I might add.

Billing ND as a dynasty etc drove me nuts.

One good team in 30 years and they are dynasty.

I hope people stop buying the BS

that's the problem, even with myself. you want to believe but they are just playing us for suckers. so much relies on what goes on in vegas that it is actually disgusting

I grew up in a large family of sports nuts.

Most still are, even myself, I enjoy it still but as time as gone by I watched exactly how we were being so manipulated.

Think of all the suckers who buy NFL NBA MLB college sports products.

I sell New Era hats etc by the day and often think, well another 10 bucks in the league and owners pockets.

Yup thats where a lot of $ comes from. When ochocinco wanted to change his name they made him buy out the existing jerseys first

Wow! I didnt think we had this many sports fan in this forum. Theres sports all year long like football, basketball, baseball, hockey, etc Dont you all think it would be cool if everyone that wants to participate, put in 5 or 10 dollars and pick a team they feel would win it all. The winner then wins all the money if the team they choose wins and if you have more then 1 person who pick the same teams then they divide the money with each other. I think it would be pretty cool. Just a friendly forum game.
