Anything 2.9 and below in Vegas is basically a push. I would bet they are just as "educated-ly" confused handicapping this game as everyone else is. I haven't found one argument one way or another that would hint at the outcome for the Super Bowl.
Heck you have everything from blow out predictions from both sides to a close game.
Anyone else seen a convincing argument?
It goes back to how the lines are established. Favoring Denver by 2 doesn't really mean Vegas thinks they will beat the Seahawks by 2 points. They think that's the spread that will pull in equal money on both sides. As more money goes to one side over the other, the spread will adjust accordingly.
