before the lines came out i made a straight up bet with a friend, no line, taking the bears to his colts, we couldnt figure a line till vegas did one so we each took a team. Think of my happiness when i saw normally id have got 6.5 for my bears


I think the colts will win, i wont be making any more bets on the SB, except of course a few crazy dollar bets on some weird shit happening.

Bottom line is Peyton Manning vs Rex Grossman. Sure, teams have won the Super Bowl with mediocre QB's, but I can't off the top of my head think of a Team with a below average QB beating a team with an elite QB in the big game.

This will be a more typical Super Bowl. The game will be over before the 4th quarter.

Colts 34 - 13

Kickers will be a non-factor, which is good because I'm still steamed at Vinitieri for losing me a lunch bet with his 1st quarter chip-shot miss in XXXVIII

I have $100 riding on the Colts straight up, finals of a pool I'm in. Other woman has the Bears.

Bowmans gave me a free $25 bet so naturally I took the Bears ML. Either way I'm walking out with $50.
I also bought 7 squares:

Chi/Indy

6/1
7/9
3/0
4/1
4/0
6/0
8/7

4 of these are awesome IMO, and a fifth one if Vinitieri kicks 3 FGs by halftime.

As for props, not sure yet. I might pick 5 props and fire $2 per, but haven't looked and thought about them long and hard yet.

I'm in the best "Squares" Pool ever. It's $210 per square, and they actually have enough demand to run TWO of these every year. I've got 60% of Bears 3-2 and 40% of Bears 6-5.

Here are the rules and ridiculous payouts:

Keep in mind, EVERY scoring change counts. So if a team scorews a TD and then kicks an extra point, 6-0 wins AND 7-0 wins. It's a crazy pool, with lots of payouts. The Q1+-1 through Q4+-4 part is new this year, and I'm not really a big fan of that. But it's still a fun pool.

I as you can imagine like the Bears +7. I am 5-1 in the playoffs don't plan to lose a second game. I haven't really looked at any prop bets except for the ones I have heard on TV as I usually don't mess with them. But this year since I will actually watch the whole game (hopefully) I will throw a few bucks on some props to make it interesting. I will probably go with coin flip and length of time for the national anthem since I should be good and drunk by then. Those both seem like pretty good ways to give away some money.

A really think the colts -7 is a lock. I dont think the bears def. can stop The colts high powered O and I think the Colt D will take care of grossman and as long as they contain the running game show blow them out.Well see

They should go with the clear since it hit him first.
