Early Super Bowl LInes

[dsong]

It's early, but this is what I expect for the Super Bowl lines:

New England -2.5 -120 (55)
Pittsburgh +1.5 (56)

Extremely impressive performance from the Falcons and it should be reflected in the Super Bowl line (and total).

 

[KennyB]

I am guessing new England -3

 

[dsong]

New England is looking great so line is likely to move to 3. Maybe 3.5 if New England really lowers the boom on Pittsburgh the rest of the way (though that is unlikely).

BetOnline had lines up a couple of hours ago as I already got down on the Super Bowl. The lines were:

Atlanta -2 vs Pittsburgh

New England -2.5 vs Atlanta

 

[dsong]

Touchdown, New England.

To -3.5 it goes.

If it doesn't, you know what to do.

 

[NorthernStar]

I think it will be NE -4.5

 

[smartmoneyfollower]

I'm taking ATL and teasing it 7 points with the over once it hits my book

 

[BillBillo]

I think it will be NE -4.5

N
No way they give NE that many points.. ATL will be hammered into hell

 

[HorseInvestor]

Ne - 3 1/2 is my guess

 

[NorthernStar]

N
No way they give NE that many points.. ATL will be hammered into hell

will want to stay away from 3

 

[dsong]

Wow, total is 57. Seems really high.

 

[BookieKiller9]

Opened NE -3 -115 57.5

 

[NorthernStar]

will want to stay away from 3

suprised they are putting up a 3. Stupid. Game is most bet on all year and if it is 3 and lands on 3 they make zero dollars on the side

 

[BookieKiller9]

8 of the 10 post season games have been decided by 13+ points.
Number won't matter.

 

[BillBillo]

Do you guys think those who like Atlanta should wait or just hammer ATL now? Hard to tell because Pats are the usual team targeted by majority of recreational bettors but ATL being the scoring machine may attract even more

 

[billbeater]

Pats -2.5 Huuuuuge!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe that's their plan. I read an article awhile ago talking about the books exposure to the Superbowl (being the most bet on etc.). Maybe this way they figure its split that they can't set a line which they can confidently back. Atleast this way they have (in a sense) decreased their exposure with a 'push-hedge'.

All The Talk Last Week On Sport Radio, Both National & Local, On Forums, ETC Was That No Matter Who Won Today's Games.....
THE NFC Representative Would Definitely Be The Favorite Over The AFC Representative.
I Thought They Were CRAZY, And Now The LINE PROVES IT!

 

[BillBillo]

Just looking for opinions/thoughts from those with more experience.. I know it's a bit of guess work at the moment. But which direction would you expect the line to move? I'm guessing ATL will get hammered?
