    Fast Willie looked 100% on Sunday and rushed for 146 yards. I have been saying (to my friends) all season that if we got our running game going then GG NFL. I think we have to be the clear favorites to win the Super Bowl now. We went 12-4 in the regular season with no offense.

    Call me crazy:
    Bet $100 on Ravens to win the game straight up.....pays $205.
    Bet $900 on Ravens +6......pays $810.

    Laying off the Arizona/Pitt game. Cards are too unpredictable.

    at your peril imo...

    Raven D got torn up last week, seemed like an injury every other play. Steelers are going to grind them down with Parker and if they don't open it up in the 1st half, they will in the 2nd.

    IT pays nothing, nada, zippo, zilch b/c noone goes into Pittsburgh(god I hate the steelers!) & wins championships to go to the super bowl; furthermore, rookie qb's seriously don't and Pitt is on fire. I honestly think Pitt is going to blow Balt out and I don't know how b/c Ravens D is so good but I just have a feeling. Gl tho

    Really no one goes into Pittsburgh and wins? The Pats did in 01 and in 04 beat the 15-1 Steelers to go to the Superbowl - In fact Id say they are chokers at home in the playoffs

    The Steelers were 2-4 in AFC Championship games under Cowher, but I hate using stats like that because the Steelers team that lost to the Chargers at home in 1995 has nothing to do with the team that will take Heinz Field on Sunday.

    ZeeDustin cant be flamed for this. Vegas doesnt want you to "think" anything. They want money on both sides so they dont lose their ass AKA last years Superbowl.

    I think this is mostly true, but there are games where they seem to be more comfortable with lopsided betting as they don't adjust the line when there's like 75% on one side.

    LVSC makes the lines for about 95% of strip casinos. They send them out and are posted. One this happens, LVSC or another company that determines the line does nothing else. The bettors then move the line after that by how much is bet on one side or the other.

    I understand how/why the lines change. what I was saying is that you see games where the lines don't move even when the betting is lopsided. That suggests to me that the sports-books think the public is wrong on some games and are willing to gamble.
