Reel Deal 01-25-06 09:21 AM

Super Bowl XL
 
Who wins?

My opinion... Steelers, and it won't be close.

thrash1294 01-25-06 09:59 AM

steelers here
Due to the fact they are on a roll..
They played alot of big games this year,and have played harder schedule.
I dont like the spread and I feel another close game here.

Think I will just buy some squares:)

MAYHEM45 01-25-06 10:08 AM

My vote? Who cares! I will be hammered either way!

If it isnt the Lions (God help me, I know...), or failing that the Bears, I dont give a shit either way.

thrash1294 01-25-06 10:16 AM

The lions too funny. until they get new owners give it up.Also they need to get rid of matt millen.Even barry knew there was no hope.

biggest lion bust of all time? andre ware.

Go ahead give me negative reps , but the above is the truth:cool:

Robbie Robb 01-25-06 10:19 AM

You can't get TOO hammered - you gotta hit the casino to fleece those dumb yankees!

My money's on the Steelers - afterall, they're wearing their whites...

Talking Poker 01-25-06 11:31 AM

Looks like I'm in the minority right now. 4-1 against my Seahawks pick.

GeoffM 01-25-06 12:00 PM

I'm playing in a poker tourney, drinking from a 60 litre keg, and eating slice after slice of greasy pizza. I may not know who won until 2pm the next day :p.

FatRufus 01-25-06 03:24 PM

Steelers have played too well in the play-offs to just throw it all away. It's probly the bus' last game so im sure he'll play amazing

Zybomb 01-25-06 05:32 PM

Is everyone forgetting that Seattle has played as impressively if not more impressively than Pitt. during the playoffs as well?

Not to mention They have a far superior 1/2 (Hasselback/Alexander vs Rothlisberger/Parker-Bettis) and a defense which held Steve Smith to 30 something yards

If this game had taken place on a neutral field, on the first week of the playoffs (I know this is impossible) the seahawks would be favored by close to a TD

Robbie Robb 01-25-06 05:44 PM

Zy - the only reason I'm picking Pittsburgh (that's where the Steelers are from right??? :o ) is because they're wearing their whites!

Seriously, I have almost NO knowledge of football. I never really liked the game and only recently have begun to appreciate some of the amazing plays that take place. Although for a while I was making some coin betting on the games...then my guy disappeared - ah well.

Could I sit down and watch an entire game with the guys? Now - no problem! Before - I'd have probably wandered off somewhere. Would I enjoy it? Again, now I probably would, provided it had some really great plays.

Will I ever be one of those guys who's TV is on all day Sunday going from game to game? Probably not. (after all, interfere's with the NASCAR races) In fact, if I ever did become one of those guy's, Nikki'd probably beat me. :)

If this poll was who you WANT to win the superbowl, I'd have to go with Seattle since Paul Allen owns the team. That's why I like the Trailblazers... :D

xxjondxx 01-25-06 05:50 PM

Go Bills.... o wait they didnt make it i thought for sure they would. Think seahawks are gonna take it down but i wanna see the steelers win it this year!!

JDMcNugent7 01-25-06 06:26 PM

I'll take the steelers -3.0 for $20
who wants some?:D

PShabi 01-25-06 06:35 PM

:p I quit making bets with low-life 18 year olds on this board. You'd have to work three weeks of paper route to cover the bet.

drphil22 01-25-06 07:02 PM

tight game ill take the 4 pts gla :D

JDMcNugent7 01-25-06 07:20 PM

lol oh thats funny old man, guess i'll have to knock u out Again tonight. make it 2 weeks in a row. :)

Talking Poker 01-25-06 07:41 PM

Very nice. Do me a favor and try not to have him be the FIRST one out again... I was at the other table and didn't even get a crack at him. You know, with him finishing 10th in our 10 man tourney and all.

eejit101 01-25-06 09:46 PM

Ill go with TP and the seahawks, the D will stop the running game and the throwing is better than the steelers.

If anyones interested ill offer $10 and ill take the seahawks straight up.

JDMcNugent7 01-25-06 10:00 PM

Ill take Steelers straight up for $10. Do u have $ on stars ?

eejit101 01-25-06 10:09 PM

nope! i can try and sort something out in time. my moneys on prima/jetset/paradise.

Dont play stars much man, let me know what you think JD

X-Longshot-X 01-26-06 10:11 AM

The game will either be steelers by 3 or steelers by 10-21, They are way to hot right now and they will go up by 21 or 14 right away and play it safe from there, that said anyone wanna make a bet on em ill take the steelers and give 3pts for a $10 bet

JDMcNugent7 01-26-06 01:02 PM

If you can get it on stars in time its a deal, if not don't worry about it.

kmb13592 01-26-06 02:43 PM

I'll take the Steelers for up to $20 on stars if anyone is interested.

Zybomb 01-26-06 04:03 PM

I'll take Seattle, witht he 4 points that they are getting with the spread though.

PS: Your sig. is kind of hard to oblige with....'shut your mouth when you're talking to me'

how the hell can i talk to you with my mouth shut??? :confused:

redbank09 01-26-06 05:04 PM

i man are fuckin kiddin me, seattle came in as a one seed and whipped ass like a one seed. i will give the steelers props no one in football could do what they did but it just blows my mind that a one seed could walk through the playoffs with the nfl mvp and be a underdog. its the super bowl anybody can win but how seattle is a underdog i dont know.

ill take your bet.

kmb13592 01-26-06 05:05 PM

I will give you 3.5 points points on the game for a $15 bet through stars if you are interested.

The signature is from a movie, and the fact that it is not possible is the point of it, but I guess I'll have to change it.
