I think that's @ 175: 100Yes, Vegas cleans up on Super Bowl wagering, especially the prop bets. People bet on everything, including the coin toss, the duration of the National Anthem, etc. I'd back up the truck on a Kansas City money line bet, Tony.
I'm leaning towards just playing the Chefs and just passing on the total, I agree with you that total is just too tough! And I fully expect after betting $300 on KC, they'll come out and look like Ned and the First Reader which has been the formula for TB's playoff success so far, IMHO!I have to think the game will go down to the 4th quarter, with KC pulling it out.
If I had to bet one way or the other, I would have to tilt towards laying the three, but then again, it's certainly not easy to bet against Brady on Super Bowl Sunday.
Good line on the over/under, so that's a coin flip.
I did listen to the betting experts talking on the radio yesterday morning, and they all agreed that betting on the Super Bowl was something they tend to stay away from, when it comes to putting up lots of dough. They said betting this game is mostly for amateurs, and that Vegas typically makes a killing.
I have watched all or part of every super bowl ever played, but having a hard time getting psyched over this one for some reasonI'm leaning towards just playing the Chefs and just passing on the total, I agree with you that total is just too tough!

I remember watching the first one as well, wasn't even called the Super Bowl. I was a fan of the old AFL, wide open throw the bomb football but Packers too solid for the Raiders.I have watched all or part of every super bowl ever played, but having a hard time getting psyched over this one for some reason
I remember laughing at how small Len Dawson of the Chiefs looked compared to those big NFL guysI remember watching the first one as well, wasn't even called the Super Bowl. I was a fan of the old AFL, wide open throw the bomb football but Packers too solid for the Raiders.
...but the Chefs knocked off the Purple People Eaters a couple of years later!I remember laughing at how small Len Dawson of the Chiefs looked compared to those big NFL guys
I was at Glenville when Broadway Joe did his thing against the Colts...I was friends with the football players because my roomate who was a diabetic had a fridge( to keep their beer cold.)...we took over the TV room and I remember one of the players bet 50 bucks on the Jets(lots of money back then) and won 400 (LOTS of money back then).....ate free pizza for a month...but the Chefs knocked off the Purple People Eaters a couple of years later!
Yeah, that one put the old AFL on the map! Namath to Maynard, Namath to Sauer!I was at Glenville when Broadway Joe did his thing against the Colts...I was friends with the football players because my roomate who was a diabetic had a fridge( to keep their beer cold.)...we took over the TV room and I remember one of the players bet 50 bucks on the Jets(lots of money back then) and won 400 (LOTS of money back then).....ate free pizza for a month
we had an All American defensive end at Glenville that year.....he kept singing "Sock it to em joey" the whole game...he threatened anyone who got near the TV to change the channel...of course back then it was just the game instead of the 4 day production nowGood Lord, you guys are old. I used to laugh at my cousin's now ex-husband, who wore a Jets' 1968 Super Bowl Championship t-shirt...in 2018. He was a nice guy, and had Jets' season tickets for several years, so I felt sorry for him.
Earl Morrall....Tom Matte...and the old injured johnny U.......how time fliesYeah, that one put the old AFL on the map! Namath to Maynard, Namath to Sauer!

They had merged in principle but the Jets represented the AFL...it wasn't until the following year the leagues integrated and became the NFC and AFC. Billy Cannon was great, they still show the Halloween punt return that beat Ole Miss but I don't really remember him as a player. The Raiders to me were the mad bomber Darrell Lamonica and company!They had already merged by then...
If you want to know what put the AFL on the map. Research Billy Cannon.
Would be like an upstart league stealing Trevor Lawrence
All Bud Adams had to do was offer his Dad a Cadillac.
Actually went to court. Judge threw out Cannon's contract with the NFL.

I agree...money ,money money!Merger happened in 1966
AFL forced themselves into the league by taking away players.
First one and probably the biggest was Billy Cannon.
Lamar Hunt failed in getting Don Meredith. He was the other they were targeting
The Chicago Beats pretty much gave him to the Dallas Cowboys to keep him from the AFL.
KC Chiefs were originally in Dallas and are the reason for the existence for the Cowboys.
Lamar Hunt started the AFL to get a Dallas franchise. The NFL bend over for the Cowboys to protect the market.
The NFL would have never merged with the AFL if they weren't a threat.
My expectations were met...the Chefs looked like a fire drill!I'm leaning towards just playing the Chefs and just passing on the total, I agree with you that total is just too tough!

The TO with the Bucs only having 40 seconds left at their own 38 was baffling. Andy had a tough day...but not as tough as his boy is going to have when he gets' back to KC!The Chiefs looked like my Cowboys yesterday. A beaten and battered offensive line that had to play guys off of the Street, and a Swiss cheese defense that committed bone-headed penalties at the very worst times.
I agree...money ,money money!
Hahahahahaahah...yes 14-6 they had a pulse but 21 -6 they were graveyard dead! That sequence was annoying but they sound defeated...Bucs pass rush looked like a damn jail break!Yep, Arians played Reid like a fiddle all night. The Bucs just wanted to kill the clock before halftime, but Reid & Company wouldn't let 'em do it. When KC watched the replay of the Tampa Bay/Green Bay game, Reid must have been eating donuts instead of watching the end of the First Half when Brady dropped a dime to score a TD just before halftime.
