It's PK @ 5 Dimes. Oops

Just hit Denver PK -110 for 2 units

 

[Mudcat]

Woulda thought Denver by at least a field goal. Seattle is not the same team away from home. Neither is Denver but whatever - my pick is Denver.

Line has gone from Seattle -1 to Denver -2 already on Pinnacle.

5. The 'Marijuana Bowl': “That’s what some pot advocates are calling this Super Bowl matchup since it’s between the two states that recently voted to legalize marijuana. But there is a serious element to it. The National Organization to the Reform of Marijuana Laws is using this game as a message to the NFL to stop promoting alcohol and beer commercials as the safe choice over smoking weed.

Extended game day forecast weather for East Rutherford, NJ: Highs in the mid 30s with lows in the mid 20s! A light wintery mix with 50% chance of precipitation with winds 7-9 MPH!

Saturday calls for 30% chance of scattered snow showers and Monday calls for 40% chance of rain/snow so I would bet something is going to drop from the sky on Sunday evening! Aren't there SB prop bets on the weather this year?

Updated weather forecast:

Cloudy and very slight chance of precipitation with high of 41 and low of 28 with mild 6-9 MPH winds! If correct than can't beat that! Average temp for East R is 40/20 for that day!

 

[Mudcat]

I wonder if they are still going to go through with this game or not.

Didn't some monkey or prediction animal pick Seattle? Someone at the nail place said that yesterday.

I think it was an ape at the Salt Lake City zoo. I'm more concerned about that damn rodent in PA and if it sees it's shadow tomorrow. What if it's frozen down there?

 

[IAG]

Ok...betting aside...who is everyone rooting for in the SB?


IAG-Broncos. I may even throw on my Bronco's sweatshirt that has seen little to any use.

I put some money on Seahawks. They got screwed by the refs on their last SB trip and this time they won't.

 

[MrMonkey]

NFL lucked out! Calling for 42-43 temp to start game and like 36-37 by the time it ends with 7-8 mph wind! Very little chance of any precipitation!

Hard not to root for Old Balls Peyton.

A snowy SB woulda been awesome.

 

[Mudcat]

I have a bet on the Broncos so that's that. But I would definitely have been cheering for them without the bet.

I have this weird internal pecking order of team preferences - I don't always even know why I like/dislike certain teams - but it's there. Denver has been right near the top this year. Seattle is nowhere.

 

[FairWarning]

Played 3 props only to have my local fuck me on price.

Baldwin rec yards over 41
Tamme over 1.5 recs
Tamme over 11.5 rec yards

I thought Seattle was the best team all year. I guess voting for them. Actually voting for lots of tips as I'm Bartending a private party.
