Who wins Super Bowl LII?

This can be used as the official game thread when the time comes.

Anyone planning on doing any betting on the game?

Rooting for the Eagles, but I'm sure the Patriots will win.

Yeah, my heart says Eagles, but my head says Patriots.

Patriots 27

Eagles 20

Can’t fathom rooting for the Eagles. And I’m not bothered by the Patsas much as others. So I would say I’m “rooting” for them to win. But I also expect them to win. 

My youngest daughter lives in Boston, so I'm going to jump on the Patriot bandwagon for this game.

Gotta think Pats with 2 weeks to prepare and a healthy Gronk will be hard to beat.

I voted for the Eagles, but my rooting will materialize, in a direction I know not now, as the game unfolds.

Yeah, I think Pats are better team and I never care when the best team wins but if Eagles are getting hosed on calls and it’s tight I’ll switch in game

The line makes no sense for this game. It opened at -7, then quickly went down to -5 and now sits at a dead -4.5 for the Pats. All the money and tickers are on the Eagles. 

I'm waiting to see where the line goes, but right now, I'm leaning Pats and the under of 48. 

I'll also probably play a ton of props, including a No to OT, and a long FG, a pick 6, safety, etc. 

For a small fee, I can give away some of the props lol.

Lol. Last year I gave my buddy all the anthem and halftime show props. He ended up making close to $1k.

I was liking the over ..................will think more about it. 

As a Steeler fan I cannot root for a hated Philly team.

I should hate the Pats, but I dont.  I respect the hell out of them.  As an old dude trying to succeed in a young man's profession I look up to TB12 and what he is doing at that age.    I admire how he continues to break that age barrier and even though it would match the SB wins with the Steelers I'm for the Pats.  At least I can always say I saw the GOAT do his thing.

I understand why the money keeps coming in on Philly.   Foles can play and is only a few yrs away from a 27/2 season and their defense is stout and I don't think NE has blasted the line in many of their SBs

New England should probably be 3-4 in the SB. Maybe 2-5. Yeah, they haven’t smoked anyone. 

My ex-girlfriend is an Eagles fan but you’d never know it unless they were good. So I’ll root for New England.

Precisely why I'm rooting for the Pats and hoping they get #7 next year so they pass the Yinzers.

Overs in the Superbowl over the last 10 years are 6-4, so there may be that. But, the public is usually heavily on the over. 

But, wait a second....didn't you boycott the NFL?

Race for 7 is a good "problem" to have.   Window for both teams is quickly closing so if it does not happen next season it won't happen for years.

Ordered the TB12 book to read whem I get home.   Anyone read?

My bet is with a bookie, not the NFL  :) 

I had the over either last year or the year before (can't remember), when the score was 0-0 after the first qtr.  Needless to say I was concerned, but both teams put up a lot points later and it worked out. 

What's the over/under on how many players take a knee?  :)  :) 

Wow. Lol

Yeah, that's pretty bad. I would've made a lot of money on that round against that group of contestants.

Probably wouldn't know what a football was if it hit them in the face.

Guess it's good to be confident...LOL

Starting to think about maybe taking the under, instead of the over .........this could end up like 27-17
