Super Bowl Line

New England +4.5 - Seattle (Levi Stadium in Santa Clara)

I’ll think on whether or not I will allow picks via PM for the SB, and post a ruling at some point. That may be the fairest to keep folks from manipulating the point spread picks.

perhaps require postings to be spoilered and trust to folks being honest about things?

If I recall correctly the final picks were by PM (the few times we actually made it that far, that is).

Papasmurf should have 2 more points from this past weekend…

I’ll fix later today

I will take pics via PM up to 15 minutes before SB kickoff. If I get picks from posters sooner, I will post in here after the last posters sends me their picks. If you are feeling confident, go ahead and post directly in the thread.

Summary

Seattle -2.5 (2)

Waiting on one more entry.

I’ll be content with bronze–even that gets one the cute lil stuffed anthropomorphic stoat, after all–so I’m not be sufficiently bold as to be in with a chance: SEA -0.5 (4), then, please.

And for papa Smurf Seattle -4.5 (0)

Nobody went for New England so on points I believe 3rookie is our champion unless Seattle wins by exactly 1 or 2 in which case only Jaheigel will be our sole survivor.

Congrats @3rookie and thanks to @YankeeTripper for hosting!!

Good game! Lots of game theory for the final pick. I felt Papasmurf would be aggressive, but then Jahiegel could have backdoored it.

Congrats 3rook.

Curious why someone would not have gone Seattle -14.5 to gain 10 back.

I was hoping 3rookie would go NE since he went both underdogs in the championship round and NE twice altogether vs SEA only once. Also thought that he would be going more aggressive thinking that I would be going more aggressive, but wasn’t sure how much.

Incorrect thought Jahiegel would go extremely conservative, hoping rookie and I would knock each other out.

Yes, I also thought Jahiegel would basically bid $1

Congrats to this year’s champion 3Rookie who was one of only 3 of 13 participants to pick every playoff game correct!

3Rookie’s average movement was only 10.8 points from the Vegas line showing you can beat the house if you set the line.
