Lets examine why the Packers are favored & like everyone else, I was surprised as well. The Packers were back to back road dogs their 1st two road games & they got pounded by the pros & public on the spread but more importantly, the ML. The Packer backers were in money heaven & then the oddsmakers threw a curve ball making the Packers a -3 point favor at Chicago for the championship game.
If the oddsmakers would have opened the Bears -1 or -2, the Packers would have gotten pounded like they did the previous two weeks on the road & the books were thinking we dont wanna fall into that trap again of getting beat up from the Packer backers so the smartly opened the Packers up as a road favorite knowing they need to balance the money & only way to entice Bears money was to give the Bears +3 & move it up to +3.5 to feel secure with what they set.
The Packers showed the world the championship game was a mismatch & that Cutler was a puss & couldnt finish the game. If it wasnt for the Packers not converting several 3rd & 1's, this would have been a blow out.
The Steelers on the other hand are the # 2 seed & had a bye week before beating the Ravens in a super come from behind win. Then they hosted the Jets who knocked off the supposed unbeatable Patriots & they Jets seemed as if they were mismatched in the 1st half with the Steelers taking a commanding lead into halftime 24-3. Never has a team come from being down 21 in the championship game to win the game but the Jets tried to do it but fell short as the Steelers pounded the ball down their throats converting 1st down to seal the win.
The Steelers at #2 seed beat the #5 & #6 bottom feeders while the #6 seed Packers beat the #3, #2, & #1 seeds, yes.......the top 3 teams in the NFC side.
The oddsmakers are stupid & they know why they made the red hot Packers the favs, because they will win the super bowl. Lets say the Steelers were made a -3 point fav where all of us would have expected to see, what would have happened to the line? I tell you what would have happened. The Packers would have been bet hard on the moneyline & just as hard on the spread but where the free money comes in is on the moneyline & Vegas doesnt give away free money, at least not week after week like they did with the Packers against Philly & the Falcons.
Question is would the books have gotten even action on both sides making the Steelers a -3 point favorite? Possibly but why take a chance & get buried on the moneyline with the Packers. Im sure who ever is taking the Steelers will be taking them on the ML but I think this game will be low scoring & the Packers win 21-17
I took the Packers -2.5 (-115) as soon as the line came out because I knew it would move up quickly at bookmaker & it did. Its up to -3 (+110) & I would still take it at this number.

#1 Since you're not in Vegas, where did you get a solid 10k down on this game? Regardless, the seeding strength means nothing. You can easily make the case that the teams Pittsburgh beat are better than the teams the Packers defeated. Also, aren't the Packers the #6 seed?
#2 "Vegas" doesn't give away free money? Sure they do. Do you have any idea how many +money dogs win outright? This happens daily. The second you mention "Vegas" as a term for the books makes you look silly, much like your opinion on this game.
#3 That juiced -2.5 you took for 10k will be available at a much better number. It's already available at -2 (-110) and -2.5, -105 at some of the best shops around.

Seems you are upset that I went ahainst who you are taking for the super bowl & its understandable that you would want to start an argument/discussion because you are upset the Packers backers dont see this game they way you delusionally see it.

That's an often quoted myth. It just isn't true. If you really take that into consideration, then don't wager on anything ever again. It's stupid logic and a ridiculous notion to consider this as a potential deciding factor in this game.
You must live on a remote island if you think that certain teams dont get favorable calls.

I'm no football betting pro but I believe and I see a lot of people are on the Steelers for the superbowl.. + whatever.. I believe this is because they pulled off the win in the late game.. It is fresh in our heads what happened in the PIT game and I believe that 'some people' (not all) will take the steelers on a kneejerk reaction at +points and +money.. G-Bay has something special this year tho and Rodgers is the hotter QB IMO.. I also believe the line will go up for GB after tonight because of the kneejerk reaction bets coming in on PIT after the win.. So I'm thinking bet GB now cuz after tonight ppl will come back down to earth and start pounding GB.. Take GB now!

Forgot to mention that the most important position on an NFL football team is the center, yes.......the center followed by the qb position. The Steelers starting center sprained his ankle & could be out for the super bowl but if he does play after resting 2 weeks, he wont be 100%, also, the Steelers have several key players out on the offensive line. Believe it or not, the center did account a little but on the spread.
After the starting center went out, there were 2 fumbles on the snap to big Ben, one cost the Steelers a safety.

11k is a pittance compared to the Vegas Boys (i.e. formerly the Computer Group). Billy Walters, the remaining kingpin, won 3.5 million in last years SB on New Orleans +6. He was featured in the July 16th, 60 minutes show. (Billy Walters, sports betting.) WTS, 11k is about 10k more than I will ever bet on the game... GL, and I can't disagree with your pick. (I'm torn.)

PrimeTimeBoys, I understand and agree with your entire write up. Vegas tipped their hand big time with this line. Packers are a great pick.
But how about the people thinking the Green Bay Packers are the public play, haha! Your are not a wiseguy just because you watched the 2005 and 2008 Steeler superbowls when they were LIVE. You are not a sharp because you remember that one Elway play against the Packers in 1998. You are a turd with a covers account. You are not special. You are the public.

Screwed up that 2nd half play on the Steelers/Jets game but none the less, I did very well for the week. I will have a write-up but will get out my play now.
Packers -2.5 (-115) $11,500 to win $10,000
Like The Packers -2.5 (-110) and also the over 46.5
I was actually quite surprise when the line came out as Packers favorite immediately following Jets/Steelers game concluded at Cal Neva. I really thought Steelers should be favor by 3 instead. Line maker always surprise me.
