Is a Denver vs Seattle Super Bowl inevitable? (1 Viewer)

[proninja]

No individual game means anything. It's a silly exercise in futility

Every game is a separate organism.

I'm on board with this statement. I think pointing to previous point differentials from earlier games during the season as rationale for predicting future spreads is iffy at best.

 

[SproutDaddy]

Jesus, is your depth of perception that bad? There was never an argument, and this has nothing to do with $. Im not much of a gambler. This was about ITS running his mouth and then being a coward. Get over it. You have your panties in a bunch over something that doesn't concern you and making up things here for no reason. Learn to read.

You should take the time to re-read some of your comments and pick out the parts that stem from an adolescent view of what it means to be "manly". It's kind of comical.

I'm sure your reply will be about me being a "#####", "can't man up", "I need more balls", "panties, panties, panties", or something equivalent instead of actually reading them.

Now go ahead and get in the last response--it's the manly thing to do. Yikes.

Way to turn this into something about you. You Seahawk fans are such martyrs.

But am I over your head? :krsone:

Probably not fair of me to say this and leave it at that.

I believe in matchups. I think individual matchups mean a lot. Why would Seattle hold Adrian Peterson to 68 yards, but give up 150 to Zac Stacy and Bobby Rainey. Coaching staffs that learn to exploit matchups create situations that lead to success for individuals. Create enough positive situations in a game and you end up with wins.

That probably explains why your challenge to ITS doesn't make any sense. It doesn't matter how confident he is that the Seahawks will win the Super Bowl, only a complete ####### would bet even money on it.

 

[SproutDaddy]

I would say the same about any fan who proclaims there team would be Super Bowl champs 10 weeks into the season.

I have no idea what your point is. Fans shouldn't be allowed to believe that their preferred team will win the championship? That seems dumb.

Don't get me wrong, ITS is the worst. But you calling him out for refusing to bet even money that the Seahawks would win the Super Bowl just makes you look silly.

Sorry you can't see it for yourself. But I've come to know that some people only see through one lense. I can't fix that for you.

My undergrad is in sociology, so I have many. Can't give them away though. It would help him by keeping things within the context they are presented and not proclaiming someone said something they didn't.

Here we go again. Didn't realize there are so many perfect typers in this world. You got me.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

Well, here's the context:

I'm sure you will be full of excuses when the hawks win the Super Bowl.

What are you willing to wager?

A hand full of magic beans.

That's what I thought. All talk, no balls.

What odds are you willing to lay down? There are 6 legitimate contenders so are you doing 6:1?

What do odds have to do with a straight up bet? Nowhere did I assure a Saints Superbowl victory. Seems to me he's saying the Seahawks are winning it. Just wanted to see how confident he was. Doesn't seem he's as confident when it comes to a wager.

You seem to be calling out ITS for not taking an even-money wager that the Seahawks will win the Super Bowl. If so, that's silly.

 

[proninja]

Sprout, if you offer someone much worse odds than are readily available at any book on a game and they don't accept the bet, it has nothing to do with their convictions on the game. It has everything to do with the fact that they don't utterly fail at math.

If you're trying to make ITS look good by being dumber than him, it's working

Perhaps if he were a better typist--excuse me, "typer"--he would be better at math. The rumor out there is it helps with grammar so why not...

Well, there's the fact that I never brought up the subject of money other that the "put your money where your mouth is" bit. Placing a bet doesn't always involve money, but you and everyone else decided to assume that. I'd much rather get creative and wager on something worthwhile.......like keeping him away from these boards. This was never about something monetary. It's about the running of his mouth and then running away. You also insinuated that I think there's something wrong with fans being allowed to believe that their preferred team will win the championship. I never said that either. I just wanted to see what he was willing to put up. Obviously nothing tangible.

Again, who said this had anything to do with money? I think you are a class act around these parts. I just think you're looking at this in the wrong perspective.

Well, thank you. Now I feel bad for being a jerk.

If you don't specify that a wager is not monetary, I think it's pretty normal for people to assume a wager involves money. If you meant something different than that, you should have clarified it.

Which is exactly why he made the challenge to the specific person he did. Seems quite logical to me.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Green Bay is 1/2 a game out of the lead in the North. If Rodgers and Cobb can come back on schedule they'll be in the playoffs. At that point they roll. Just like a few years ago they'll be the hottest team in the NFL entering the playoffs and brush aside the pretenders with relative ease.

This plan is right on course. Can Cobb and Rodgers play run defense? I hope so.

Can they block too?

I wonder if the pack being awful means their fans will stay out of Seahawks threads

 

[Hunterbeer]

Peyton in cold weather? I will happily bet against that all day.

 

[PatsFanCT]

Peyton in cold weather? I will happily bet against that all day.

Plus going into Arrowhead. I'll gladly take the Chiefs getting 5.5 points.

Justin Houston is a big loss. If San Diego can beat them at home so can Denver.

Not looking good. This team looks worse than bad. Rodgers should hold out right now. He's apparently worth 10 wins all by himself.

As a Lions fan, I'm livid about their play this week. They clearly don't have the intestinal fortitude to make it far. Talented as anyone, but when you lose to the Bucs, you don't deserve to go to the playoffs.

That said, the Packers can't be feeling too good either right now, tying a worse team than the Lions lost to. It doesn't sound like Rodgers will play Thursday, which should put them 1.5 games back after this week.

Even with Rodgers and Cobb, you aren't going to stop New Orleans or Seattle. Carolina would be interesting (assuming they play better than they did early against Miami)

I could see Flynn throwing the ball all voer the lions, however, no way that GB would win @NO and /or @seattle, even with rodgers this year. that Defense is awful

Flynn might have a big game, but Calvin isn't going to be stopped by the Green Bay DBs. This likely won't be Denver/Dallas esque, but it will be fun to watch.

As a Lions fan, it was fun to watch.

Isn't suppose to be around 50 and very little wind?

Yeah, not at all a cold weather game.

I fully expect Manning to crush it.

Damn shame. KC mussed have pissed mother nature off. Bad luck.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

better check your weather report

 

[ghostguy123]

I see Denver winning this week somewhat easily. Houston and Hali out?? Or is Hali actually playing?

Either way, big loss. Not to mention ok weather.

However..................yeah, Denver getting to and winning the super bowl just doesnt seem likely to me. The weather factor affects Manning more than anyone.

 

[proninja]

HFA has inside track and I think it goes as follows:

Saints Lose (@SEA) Possible Loss (@ATL - division game on road)

Packers Lose (NONE) Possible Loss (@DET - division game on road)

Seattle Lose (@ATL, @SF) Possible Loss (@NYG - east coast)

49ers Lose (@NO) Possible Loss (@WAS - RG3 Back in form???) - as a note I picked upset of the week as Jax over 49ers this weekend but I am not counting on it

In the end:

#1 Saints (3 Losses) - 2 conference losses - common opponents (4-1 / ATL, @ATL, DAL, @CHI, 49ers) - Strength of Victory (Very Similar) - Overall Strength (NFC West Strong)

#2 Packers (3 Losses) - 2 conference losses - common opponents (4-1 / ATL, DAL, CHI, @CHI, @49ers) - Strength of Victory (Very Similar) - Overall Strength (NFC EAST Weak)

Seattle (4 Losses)

49ers (4 Losses)

I love how this guy has the Seahawks beating the Saints and losing to the Falcons and possibly the Giants. And the Packers losing none, only possibly against Det.

 

[beef]

The OP title sure seems to be spot on.

 

[lbouchard]

Not sure about Denver, but going to be very hard to beat Seattle in Seattle.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Still the 2 best teams easily, both gonna get HFA.

Packers still the team to beat though, lead pipe lock for the playoffs and another Super Bowl title. /Sabertool

Unless detroit poops their bed again and miss out, they're easily the favorite for a 1st round playoff loss.

[fantasycurse42]

Seattle def going to the Super Bowl. Idk about Den, but def Seattle. They're unbeatable if they keep playing like this.

 

[NajehHejan]

Seattle D making future Hall of Famer Drew Brees look like Geno Smith on an off day. Yes, Seattle with the HFA will go to the SB. Don't see anyone beating Denver either. Maybe the Pats, but probably not in Denver.

[Raider Nation]

My early line is SEA -3, in typical February NY weather. If is somehow a mild day, the line is closer to a pick 'em.

 

[Raider Nation]

That's my line. I have heard that Denver will be favored in every game the rest of the season, including the Super Bowl.

 

[Riversco]

The Patriots can beat the Broncos (obviously).

The Panthers can beat the Seahawks.

I think one of these 2 will happen in the playoffs.

Newton in Seattle=complete meltdown IMO

I think the 49ers can beat the Seahawks in Seattle, not sure about the Saints after tonight but I wouldn't rule it out.
