That is hard to pass up.

A guy named "CKR" on another board you're familiar with gives a very convincing pro-49ers argument....personally I'm not touching this game, but good luck with whatever you choose to do.

+10 -122 is available at Interaction

You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.

These lines are set with power numbers way in advance, Cheese.

They just adjust every now and again, but not by much. Case in point of power numbers? Green Bay and St Louis, you cant have two teams who looked any different last week and they still set the # they offered 3 months ago.

sharps and square can make arguments for both sides...SF seems like the square side but squares win too and sharps don't hit 100%. They don't even really hit near 65%...

With that said, and as I said, imagine SF didn't get blown out at home n Seattle didn't beat NE, this game really would be 90% on SF. But instead it's damn near as even as they could've ever hoped for... Btw, line hitting 9+... I nabbed it at 6.5 (-120) on Tuesday

I grabbed SF -7 on Monday. I respect the 'hawks D too much to lay more than that, but I'm a Pats fan and take Russell Wilson's success w/ a grain of salt as I've seen NE secondary make ALL KINDS of guys look like the 2nd coming of Joe Montana. It'll be interesting to see how he does against a real D that HAS TO BE mad after last week. If he gets it done 2nite I'll be out of excuses & just have to tip my cap to the kid... but I'm not drinkin his KoolAid just yet

Seattle's D is too good to be getting over a TD to any team, anywhere in the NFL.

That might be the funniest ending of all time for gamblers in the NFL.

statistically, i think it was right. but the odds of losing either way are so small, the difference is so insignficant to be almost zero.

Take away that last play - and this was a great example of how important getting extra points in the spread is for NFL bettors.

Absolutely right thing to do.

Avoids defending onsides kick / automatic win.

Im surprised he thought of it - I would say most coaches wouldnt have.

I just advocated your point of view in another thread
https://www.covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=21&sub=101449011&page=2

Were you aware it's actually possible to muff a kneeldown?

harbaugh is a very sharp coach.

the bottom line is, declining the penalty is the quickest way to end the game.

but speaking of statistics, we're probably now looking at a 75% increase in fixed game threads on this forum.

van i'm surprised you think this was the right thing to do. you're an odds guy. what is the more likely scenario. alex smith fumbling a snap and seattle getting the ball back, at which point they're only down 7 for a chance to win or seattle recovering an onsides kick, having to score, and then recovering a 2nd onsides kick for a chance to win. i know nothing about coaching, but methinks one of the first rules is never take points off the board.

Come on.

No way Leslie Fraser thinks of that!

He rather have a 1st and 5 at the 25 of other team than 2nd and 1 at the 21 of opposition!

I still can't get over the fact that he took a penalty that robbed them of 4 yards in the middle of the game two weeks ago.

Not sure if u remember the game?

He didn't want 5 yards and took a penalty because 1st down looked better..haha

I saw it.
