Super Bowl opening line is Seahawks by 2.5

2. That would be a first.

I keep going through in my mind why the line is what it is, considering how dominant the Patriots looked in crushing the Colts today.

Another things is that it's a credit to how physically the Packers played, that they were considered a much stronger opponent for the Seahawks than the Colts were for the Patriots.

I think Seattle is a more youthful, more physical, more speedy team. All of those things should favor the Seahawks. But the Patriots are adaptive, and come up with brilliant strategies to defeat teams. It's a team playing in its absolute prime versus the wise older veterans.
