Where did you get those numbers, GD? This is what Rosenbloom wrote in the Trib this morning.

Green Bay opened as a 1-point underdog Sunday against Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl, but Packers backers quickly bet their team to 2 1/2-point favorites at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas.

"They just kept betting Green Bay and we had to keep moving the line,'' said John Avello, director of sports and race operations at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas. "I'm just trying to find the right number.''

Oh yeah, and tell me again that Vegas wanting 50/50 is a myth.

So you're saying point spreads are based on public perception only for big games?

Scorehead thinks the line is wrong.

They lost hundreds of millions of dollars on the Patriots/Giants Super Bowl because they shaded the Giants. There's too much money in one game for them to fuck around any more. This isn't a Thursday night college basketball game.

As of this morning:

101 Pittsburgh Steelers +2½ +110

44½ O -110 U -110

102 Green Bay Packers -2½ -130

I'm taking GB -2.5.

I'm saying the books are gun shy, and that the Super Bowl brings in so much more money than any other game that they won't take chances. It's a completely unique event. Even for the CFB national championship game, the books moved the line away from the team taking in more money. That's a chance they won't take with the Super Bowl (anymore). There's too much to lose.

Put your money on the Packers

Started as Packers -2.5 and went up to 3. Sound familiar? Steelers will make the Pack 1 dimensional. That I know for sure.

I'm always suspicious about easy money, but the Steelers there seems way too easy.

Too easy of a pick if that is accurate.

I don't see it as easy money. Still, I think the Steelers WR run through those CB jams that make them so impressive against the Bears. I also think the Packers can be run on. On the other hand the Steeler OL is as bad as the Bears so the Packers will be blitzing.

Yesterday morning, 5dimes had all four potential super bowl match-ups with point spreads, and the Steelers were a two point favorite over the Packers. What changed between then and now? And why is this total at 46? These are the two best defenses in the league. The Pack have given up 141 points over their last 11.

Pouncey being potentially out is important but not 4-5 points.

I like that pick. I don't know which way I'm going yet, but I don't think the line ends up being at play in this one. Better question: AFC or NFC this weekend?

At Oddsmaker the Pack is 1.5 with a total of 44.5 SB totals always a little higher since most tend to bet the over.

From an SI link: The chronological breakdown of Christina Aguilera's National Anthem history, as provided by YouTube, is as follows: 1992 Stanley Cup Finals: 1 minute, 37 seconds Random Anthem in Anaheim (date unknown): 1 minute, 21 seconds 2004 NBA All-Star Game: 1 minute, 49 seconds 2005 Pittsburgh Penguins game: 1 minute, 45 seconds 2010 NBA Finals Game 6: 1 minute, 52 seconds 2010 NBA Finals Game 7: 1 minute, 54 seconds Due to the upward trend in her anthems (mostly), and the propensity to hold notes a little longer when performing the sports' world's single biggest event, our bet is definitely on OVER 1 minute, 50 seconds at Bodog (-125), and while we're at it, we'll take that UNDER on 1 minute, 56 seconds (-120) over at BetUS and hope to middle this anthem.

There is expected to be $10 billion gambled on the super bowl but 1% of that will go through Vegas. That's still a lot of money but not enough for Vegas to change business as usual.

If you are playing the Packers then I would think Rogers at +150 to be the MVP is the way to go for a prop. No single WR will outshine him and the Pack is going to need to throw to win. I don't think any single defensive player is going to stand out as the Steelers will try to run so there won't be any spectucular defensive stats as far as picks and sacks.

I just read that the first TD prop bet is Kuhn at 15 to 1.
