“So the bet is total red zone interceptions combined from both teams is over 0.5. So will [42:49] there be one or not? Yes is plus 330.”
Independent verification agrees: No red-zone interception occurred; Love's INT was at the NE 36 and Nwosu's was a 45-yard pick-six, neither inside the red zone.
“You're going with three consecutive scores, no, for 250. Any reasoning here? I mean, I would project this one to be a little bit of a lower scoring game anyway, and it can be hard in a game of this magnitude to really get on a roll and score three straight times. I don't foresee this being a runaway Super Bowl here, and I think both these defenses will have success stopping the opposition. You can see some fluky variants with a missed long field goal that sets the other team up the other way, a special teams touchdown or something of that nature, but I'm not wanting to bet on that. I see this one match between teams that I think are fairly even in this one. This would make sense to make the bet the other way in a college game or in Super Bowl with a high total in the low to mid 50s. But with the total set the way it is, I do think we'll get a real competitive game. And I think that points will be at a premium. So I'm going to go no here at plus money on this prop.”
Independent verification agrees: Seattle scored on its first five scoring possessions (four FGs then a TD), far exceeding three consecutive scores, so the No failed.
