one question Paulsy...
if Denver was the right play in this game... and if this was basically setup, as you suggest... don't you think they would have made this line something like (-4) to enduce lots of SD action, instead of making it (-9) to scare off all the SD action?
i haven't gotten word from the big G like you, but that's the way i see it...
They put it at 8 or 9 to middle just like every other game, doesn't mean shit. The whole world feels SD is owed this game, we take Denver and the points and then we hope to win a close game outright
