Even though my beloved Seattle Seahawks aren't going to be in the upcoming Super-Bowl LI I think this is going to be one of the best Super-Bowl match ups ever!
I mean these two teams (the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots!) are tuned up!
They are smokin!
I watched both play-off games yesterday and I was awestruck at how great both the Patriots and the Falcons played - they simply DEMOLISHED their rivals.
Both of whom were excellent teams!
I am still shaking my head at the all-around excellence of yesterdays winners!
They both look invincible to me.
Alas though, one team will win - but I can not pick a winner or even a favorite.
Who do you favor - or who are you rooting for?
Better luck next year Seahawks - get healthy.

Pulling for the Falcons but expecting the Patriots to walk away with the Lombardi.

Jpretle: An Atlanta win would bring some "cred" back to my Seahawks (who lost to Atlanta 2 weeks ago) - they looked super yesterday.
And they are healthy.
I don't really know who to root for - I guess I will just be content to watch great athletes hammer it out on the field.

Colorado bob: Good point - I think I will break my policy of never going into taverns and go buy a few squares!
Come on 7's and 0's.

HugAJackass: I wonder who the "odds-makers" (money changers) favor?

After some difficulty I got through to one odds-maker and they list the Atlanta Falcons as 3 point "under-dogs".

The SeaChickens fans are going for ATL, and Goodell will be embarrassed if NE win, so I'll pull for the Pats

Atlanta but I expect a close game with the Pats pulling it out at the end.

As long as the Seachickens are watching from their homes, it's definitely a GREAT super bowl...

Oops. That's what I meant. Thinking he has 4 and that's what came out of my fingers.

Colorado bob: I can tell this story on myself now (because the statue of limitations has long passed!) concerning Football 100 square boards.
I was a young policeman (1969-ish) in a west coast city and even $1.00 a square boards were illegal there then!
So my beat walking partner came up with an "under-ground" football board for $100.00 per square with 5 winners (1st quarter score, second quarter score, third quarter score, final score and the fifth was total score added up from each of the previous) so we thought we had a chance at some big bucks but neither of us could come up with the hundred - so we pooled $50.00 each and bought one set of numbers.
Our hearts soared when we got good numbers as this was a LOT of money back then!
Alas just a couple of days before the Super-Bowl the place my partner had bought the numbers got raided (by our own Vice Detectives!) and our money got confiscated!
Damn!
Luckily my partner had used an alias to buy the square and he (and I!) did not get "jammed-up"!
I wish you good luck in the numbers draw.
