It's ok. Nobody believes in us. It's us against the world. When we win, it'll be the biggest upset in Super Bowl history which will make it all the sweeter.
The Patriots were 12.5 point favorites in 2007. The Niners were 18.5 point favorites in 1994 over the Chargers.
I get that a lot of analysts are picking the Chiefs, but good lord.
Why are you using the line as the only definition of an underdog? The overwhelming majority of the money has come in on KC money line - bettors aren't even taking the points.
And Vegas sets lines to encourage as much betting as possible that will in turn make them the winners.
This. I get discouraged watching all of the pundits drool over Pat, call him the GOAT, say the Niners have no chance. Then I look to the folks who actually have a dog in the fight and what their view is. House always wins, guys.
Reminds me of listening to everyone sucking Marino's sack in '84...
Oh how are we ever gonna beat those chiefs? They are exceptional football players, and especially their quarterback. Mahomes is throwing the ball in an amazing fashion... He's got the quick, strong arm, and he doesn't have to get his feet just right to throw it. He can just whip the ball to anyone without really indicating where it's going...oh, they have such a great offense! Oh my God! How are we going to stop them? Jeez, their defense... how are we going to be able to get a first down? Or even a yard?
Now I wanna break through that wall and kick their ass myself.
