Over or Under for the Super Bowl? (47.5)

[Stevendsmith]

The Pats excellent defense is making me lean towards the taking the under.

Whaddya all think?

[Magrittes Pipe]

1. Under.

Two great defenses; two good, but not great, offenses.

I'm taking the D.

2. What does that mean "Over or under" and "47.5"?

[Stevendsmith]

6. Sorry

The Vegas betting line allows you to bet on whether the combined game score will be lower or higher that 47.5 points.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Ah, gotcha! What kind of odds are they giving for each?

Or are they equal odds?

And how do they come up with the 47.5 points?

[Stevendsmith]

9. Yes, I believe they're equal odds

Not sure how they come up with that number. The expert oddsmakers do it. Good question.

3. Enlighten the furrinah, part #324,859,766

Is this about gambling on the total points scored at the Super Bowl?

[redqueen]

4. Yes

[SKKY]

5. I'll take the over

[sniffa]

7. over because

against the rams i bet the over (and Lost)

Last year, i assumed it wouLd be Low scoring and went with the under (and Lost)

soooooo, the pats in the superbowL do the opposite of what you expect.

10. Over and the Eagles

Both teams play the run better than the pass. The Eagles lit up some good defenses this year and the Pats should put up more than 20 points. I think it will be closer than 7.5, so I think the Eagles will cover.

[Blue-Jay]

11. Over. And the much-hated Eagles.

I'm only rooting for Philly because I want to see Pitt in a bunny suit.

12. I predict a score of 31-10 and a lot of people taking the under will

be exteremely happy until a late junk touchdown makes the final score 31-17 and the oddsmakers win again.

13. Under

I think this will be a tenaciously fought game.

14. Under (nt)
