I know right, they just drew numbers for another pool i'm in and its the same exact numbers as pool 1. I have the worst luck in SB pools.

I remember back in college the 2007 super bowl Colts vs. Bears, all I needed was for Vinateri to hit a 36-yarder to end the half at 17-16. Shanked it wide left and won nothing.

Anyone have any pools going on? I'm going to need a bunch of FGs.

Pool 1
Seahawks - 6
Broncos - 9

Pool 2
Seahawks - 6
Broncos - 3

6 3 isn't that bad. Especially if the pool pays out per quarter. Could definitely be a first quarter score. Also could be 26-13 or 26-23.

Bump.

This may be better for the conversation thread. As Bod D said it takes 3 minutes to scroll through the prop bets.

On the bright side it looks like Denver is pass protecting well. Manning had all day to throw on that 3rd down. Apparently nobody downfield was open.

Nightmare start for Denver, especially if Seattle puts some points up here.

I'm going to say that the Wilson spot and subsequent refusal to overturn it on replay may be the biggest Super Bowl officiating fail ever. But it is only the first quarter so I'm sure there will be a worse one. The game is in NY, so I'm sure Stern is in Goodell's box.

Is Lebron playing is this game too?

Broncos defense has gotta start getting off the field after 3rd down. They are garbage.

I need a Seattle turnover or my numbers are shot. Unfortunately my pool is only paid quarterly.

Please be a lateral.

That was one of the greatest defended passes I've ever seen, and by a back-up linebacker at that.

The Denver secondary if you look at the personnel isn't that bad but as a unit these last 2 years they have been awful at times. They play well for long stretches but give up big plays like last year AFC divisional game against Baltimore. I think they have communication issues and get confused.

I want a 6'3" 235 LB safety.

Seattle plays a lot of nickel and I actually think if this passing craze continues you may see teams run a lot of nickel/4-2-5 looks maybe even as a base defense. To do that you would need versatile safeties that can cover and play in the box.

Man it sucks to see, but I've seen Peyton throw a pass or 2 like that before, ugh.

Well, aside from the fact that I could give a flying fig about the ads and half time show, I'll throw my considerable 130 lbs. to Seattle.

I have two nieces, their husbands and three sons among them and a nephew. Not a Poodle fan, but that oh-so-golden Tate is an offsetting factor.

Go Seahawks! Dig your talons into the free-range, grain-fed loins of those Broncos. Break them, saddle them and rein them in!!!

If Denver doesn't get points on this drive I say it is time they put in Tebow.

Manning isn't getting enough time. Looks like the o-line is settling in though.

Oh yea. Take that: #&@!%?/

Seriously I hope Denver makes a stand, last thing we need is a blow out Super Bowl.

Are you serious? I thought we were all rooting for Denver to get beat 52-0 and injured as much as possible?

I'd be rooting against Denver if literally ANY team other than the Seahawks or Packers was playing them today.

I much rather have it be a tight game and see Richard Sherman with a billion people watching get beat for a Denver game winning touchdown.

It is really bad if the game is over before anyone has time to get drunk.
