Super Bowl XLVII Game Day thread

[Playoffs]

Line: 49ers -4, Total: 47.5

Line movement: The Super Bowl point spread opened at 4.5 or 5 at most Las Vegas sports books on Championship Sunday two weeks ago, but the line was bet down to 4 by later that evening. Most of those 4s became 3.5s after a few day of wagering, but 4s started popping back up this week and again became the most popular number around town. As of this Thursday afternoon posting, just two major Vegas shops -- the LVH SuperBook and the MGM have 3.5 posted, and the MGM has -120 juice attached to the 49ers.

The total opened as low as 49 as high as 51, but has been bet UNDER ever since. It sat at 48 at most shoos for much of the two weeks, but 47.5 has become the number throughout Las Vegas.

Recent meetings:

11/3/11 Ravens 16-6 (-3.5) at Baltimore

47 facts about Super Bowl XLVII

[Thorn]

I've decided since this is the last real football game for a long time I should watch it. I'm not really interested in who wins though. The commercials will probably be more entertaining to me than the game itself.

However, to mark this unexceptional occasion I shall fry up some chipped beef in hot sesame chili oil until it’s crisp and stiff like beef jerky. Then I’ll have some Teriyaki Beef sauce to dip it in.

I think the 49ers have the better team but I'm stuck thinking the Ravens will win a hard-fought nail-biter. 28-27 Ravens.

I have every appetizer I can think of but no main dish. Oh, and beer. I'm set!

GO NINERS!!

Go niners!!! That atmosphere their looks and sounds electric.

In spite of having one of the most self-aggrandizing hotdogs who ever pulled
on a pair of shoulder pads ( and yea, he's also very likely a killer who beat a murder rap many years ago), I'm still pulling for the Ravens in no small part because of the X-Texans on the team and it's the AFC. And I like underdogs.

[brakos82]

Go.... whoever wins the coin toss! (yeah, I haven't decided who I want to win yet.)

[BullBlitz]

Go Jacoby, Leach, Pollard, Flacco, Lewis, Reed, and Rice. Get the Ring!

[Showtime100]

Let's get this lip-syncing over with and play some football.

[Lurvinator11]

[brakos82]

Cool. I thought you were on the move already getting "dyslexic."

[Lurvinator11]

Oh look. A draw play on third and long. Gee, haven't seen that before

[SAMURAITEXAN]

sack

[Playoffs]

The difference between Flacco before & after Cam Cameron is his willingness to throw up up there and let his receivers make a play/risk the turnover.

... and better playcalling.

Mobility do wonder to QB

I guess punching and taunting are ok if you are on Ray and God's side....lol.

The Niner D really stepped up their pressure in that last sequence. If they keep it up Flacco will be ducking air like Schaub was doing this year.
