Can this SB be handicapped at all without.......

[lookin4awinner]

knowing what the weather will be game day????

This game can take on many shapes depending if its 40 with a slight breeze vs 20 with sideways rain/sleet/snow & 35 mph wind gusts.....???!!!!!

How can you bet this game before an hour or 2 before game time???

Hit me with some thoughts guys..... :think2:

Regardless of the weather, Seattle will win. If conditions are bad it favors them even more.

good luck with what you decide.

 

[Well-Seasoned]

I agree.......Wait for the weather report and other factors as well.....

 

[thekeyman]

lets put it this way,the weather is not going to be grand.It will be cold,and maybe snow.This game has under written all over it for me.Manning has not fared well in cold weather,especially on the east coast.Now being in the cold in denver is different,he has the home field,he has the air that kills other teams with the pace he plays at,and the crowd behind him.He also has the advantage of having his kicker making long field goals due to the altitude and this will not be in the meadowlands with swirling winds defining the passing and kicking game.

I'm more worried about the wind rather than the cold. After all, the Broncos come from a cold weather climate and routinely play/practice in freezing temperatures. I've heard that the new Metlife stadium is not as bad as the old Meadowlands in regards to wind as well. Not sure if that is true or not, but with that being Eli's home stadium they should at least know what they are up against.

Im a big PROPs bettor on the SB... I think they offer soooo many different ones that most time you find several that have much more value than the game itself. But even the props cant be analyzed without know the weather.....

I honestly thought I was missing something when looking at this game but it honeslty can't be capped until we know the weather... if there is rain/sleet/snow and high winds I cannot see DENVER even hanging tuff.....I see SEATTLE by 14+

thx for the replies fella's

MetLife Stadium will host the 2014 Super Bowl. Reuters


For the first time since the Super Bowl’s inception, the game will be played in a cold-weather city. The weather hasn’t been much of a concern in years past, but it could be an issue on Feb. 2.

The contest between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks is set to be held at MetLife Stadium, an outdoor stadium in New Jersey. As a result, Super Bowl XLVIII could see the coldest weather in the history of the game.
The Super Bowl is usually held places like Florida, Southern California, or cities with a dome. In the last five Super Bowls that were played outdoors, all of the games featured high temperatures in the 60s. The lowest ever high temperature recorded came in 2000, when an ice storm in Atlanta prevented the temperature from surpassing 35 degrees. That game, though, was played inside a dome.
The current AccuWeather forecast is predicting a high of 32 degrees with a low of 22. That’s colder than the historical average on Feb. 2, which usually sees a high of 40 degrees and a low of 24 degrees. With the game just less than two weeks away, though, it’s hard to predict what the weather will actually be like. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says he hasn’t even looked at the forecast.
“One is, I’m not sure how reliable forecasts are this far out,” Goodell told the New York Daily News. “And two is, we have a whole group of people that are getting the best information, have the right team together, to make sure we have appropriate information at the right time. There’s nothing I can do about that. Our team has been working to be prepared for all alternatives and I’m confident they will be.”
The biggest fear for those attending the game might be the chance of precipitation. Twelve days before the games, the New York/New Jersey area has been hit with a snowstorm, and there are concerns that the same could happen on the day of the Super Bowl.
The current forecast calls for clear skies during the game. However, the weather report says it could rain or snow before kickoff.
The issue of the weather made the decision to play the Super Bowl in New Jersey a very controversial one. Talks surrounding a possible Super Bowl at the home stadium of the New York Giants and New York Jets began almost a decade ago, and eventually the owners agreed to have the game played in a cold-weather city.
"A little bit of snow during the game will make it all that much more historical, all that much more romantic, all that much more competitive and fun, I think — all that much more visual," said Frank Supovitz, the NFL’s senior vice president of events, according to nj.com
"There’s nothing wrong with a little bit of snow during Super Bowl XLVIII.”

quality info.... Thx

 

[Slurve~Ball]

The weather is being blown out of proportion.
And the quality info above starts with a false statement. Last time I checked Minnesota, Detroit, and Pontiac, Michigan are cold. Indianapolis also.
