Since Super Bowl X in 1976 between the Steelers and Cowboys, there have been 23 "overs" and 16 "unders."

Why so many "overs?" One factor is that coaches with a lead are less likely to sit on the ball in the second half in a Super Bowl. If a team is up 17-0 at the half of a December game, for example, a coach might be inclined to go conservative, run the clock and avoid injuries. In the postseason, it's the final game of the year and no lead is safe. No coach wants to play super-conservative and be remembered as the guy who blew a 20-0 lead in the biggest game of his career. Since it's the last game of the season, coaches often put in trick plays and new offensive wrinkles in an attempt to maximize scoring opportunities.

Guessing you lean over OS. Personally, I lean the opposite way.

Just a reminder...

Last SB held in Glendale (only one there)
NYG 17, NE 14 (way under the total of 52)

Of course there's a more recent indoor SB involving NE as well...
NYG 21, NE 17 (under the total of 51)

my thinking..

the crackdown this year on hits to the head and others deemed a personal foul along w/the tighter calling of clutching and grabbing receivers leads to more first downs..longer drives...and more scoring..

a pickem' game w/a total of 47'

I can see 23 points for each team ...if NE kicks the winning FG alls right w/the world..

If Seatttle kicks it...I turn of the sports talk radio and football till the draft..

Either way the "Over" pays
