This is from 1310 The Ticket, so who knows how true it is, but they just said if you had bet on the underdog against the spread in all the Super Bowls, you'd be 31-3-2.
I am searching for something on the net about that and have not found it yet, keep me posted. I find that realllllly hard to believe with all the blowouts.
i can think of more than 3 blowouts off the top of my head...that can't be right denver v. sf buffalo v. dallas buffalo v. anyone other than the giants! patriots v. bears chargers v. sf
I do not want you to think I was killing the messenger, but I think I know the loud mouths you are talking about and they are known to open their mouths just to hear themselves talk.
RM95's source may actually be SOMEWHAT right! I found this on the Internet, in my search to disprove the statement: In the entire history of the Super Bowl the AFC has won the game straight-up 14 times, the NFC 20 times. The NFC has covered the pointspread a total of 17 times, the AFC 14 times, and there were 3 ties. The team that was the favorite in the game won the game outright 23 times and lost 11 times. Also, the favorites record against pointspread stands at 18-13-3. That gives us a 31-2-3, the losses and ties numbers being juxtaposed.
Drapg, I think you just disproved the theory. The very last line speak to the underdogs. Vegas is always a push, so it has to be 18-13-3. That 's makes more sense anyway.
