A few years ago I created a thread about wade phillips as a D coordinator. He might be the best D coordinator I have seen in my lifetime. 1989-1990 in his first year as a D coordinator for Denver they lost the superbowl 55-10. This is his second time for him at a superbowl. To give up 55 in his first time in the bowl, this is the redemption of a lifetime for Wade Phillips. Anyone calling Wade Phillips and Gary Kubiak losers do not know shit about the nfl. All I hear is this superbowl being compared to Denver/Seattle a couple years ago and how Carolina is Seattle. Peyton was going into that game with all types of jinxes against him. Along with two actual loser coaches in Jack Del Rio and John Fox.
Jack Del Rio and Wade Phillips are not even on the same planet as Defensive coordinators. Maybe as head coaches they are close but as D coordinators, no.
I think one of things the 85-86 Bears and 84-85 49ers had in common was they both did what they did in the time frame of two years. The competition in the 80's was dismal compared to other decades. That is partial the reason why those teams did what they did. Will a team go 15-1 next year? My guess is no way. But we'll see.
so I went back and took a look at those two teams. Bears and 49ers both had shutout victories in their playoff runs in those two years. Meaning both of those 15-1 teams had at least one game in the playoffs where it wasn't the favorite and the over. In other words, both of those special teams had games where it was the favorite and the under in the playoffs and over and the fav in the sb ended up hitting. Over and the favorite is what the sheep love to play. If everyone wants to compare Carolina to the 85 bears, then how come Seattle came back with 24 in the 2nd half?
Last week I said 0 chance both favs could win last week. This week I say Carolina + over has 0 chance of hitting.
Books have already made their money on Carolina....time to make their money against them in the perfect spot.
Sb champs who have spreads under 9 every game in the playoffs.... have never made it over and - the pts in every playoff game including the superbowl. Meaning the only team to do it was a team that was -10 or higher during the playoffs.
There has been some great teams that have had a chance to break this but didn't. 08 pitt. 99 rams, greatest show on turf. Greenbay 2010 team had a chance. Like I said earlier in this thread comparing now to 1985 and expecting the same result is not logical thinking.
so if you like Carolina, last thing I would do is play the over with it.
If you like the over, you might as well add Denver. Had a feeling it might close at 5 but I will be back
I just played Denver on the ML +192
