SuperBowl Bets...

Talking Poker · #1 01-18-05, 01:11 AM

So, I randomly just remembered that when I was in Vegas for the WSOP, I made a handful of small Super bowl bets. I just dug out my tickets, and here's what I have (all to win the SB):

$5 on Chiefs at 10:1 - Loser.
$10 on Eagles (pays $70).
$5 on Colts (pays $40)
$5 on Falcons (pays $130).

Sadly, this can only mean one thing... Pittsburgh is a lock.

well, unfortunately you got the NFC right in a year where the AFC should dominate the super bowl. tough luck, but it would be real nice for the falcons to come through for you.

Yeah, but I have to root for the Eagles... I'd rather they win and I get paid less.

Funny thing.... when I made this post last night, I had a brain fart and thought the Colts beat the Patriots. What the crap was I thinking?

Yeah, the Pats are now the favorites to win. They are even -3 against Pitt. in Pitt. this week. I thought for sure I'd be getting some points with the Pats this week, but I'm still riding them all the way. They seemed to breeze thru the regular season not really caring so much about home field. Roethlisberger (I think I keep spelling his name wrong) is the most overrated QB in the league IMO.

Is it possible for a QB who has not lost in 14 games to be over-rated?

BTW- careful how you answer, I am baiting you here.

also Big Ben won like his last 11 or 12 college starts too so hes on like a 27 game winning streak.

Michael Vick is overrated stats wise but he does do the one thing that matters... helps his team win. they were like 4-12 without him last yr and the yr before that they beat GB @ GB in the playoffs.

Anyways that being said... I want Philly to get to the superbowl... McNabb is one of my favorite players and I have much respect for him and I hope its finally his time.

Also the Patriots will win the superbowl... I LOVE how people picked the colts over NE... the Patriots dont lose in the post season! When you look up team in the dictionary... you see a picture of the Patriots symbol.

Grrr. Pats! Pats! Pats! Pats! Say it with me!

Hey I agree that it is going to be a good, tough, game for both teams. If you do not think so you are blowing smoke out of your butt. If you do not think Pitt having to focus on the Running game does not open the pass game up more than the first meeting you are crazy. If you doubt the power of the Bill you are nutz! If you underestimate the choke power of the Pitt! If you think the Muppet Master is a great coach forgaboutit!

I think it is going to be a good game. Close. Tought. One team is going to win. I think it is the Pats but it could be the Steelers if we make a mistake. I even put a Prop bet of sorts up. I have given Bloggers a chance to take over my Blog for a post if the Pats lose. If they win I get to take there's over! heh.
