I am seeing 4.5 at oddshark but Vegas is still 5.5 or 5.0.

We can watch to see if something happens to assure the Broncos beat the spread.

Wondering to what extent can they read each others plays. If it's just high stakes wrestling, wondering what movers and shakers in the world cause the chaos.

I would imagine they have a pretty good idea of what will happen once the play starts. Film study...

Trick plays aren't that often. Mostly who is having a better game.

The only tape of super 1 and it cannot be played.

CBS and NBC, which televised the game, did not preserve any tapes. But the copy that Haupt owns — of a broadcast that launched the Super Bowl as an enormous shared spectacle that attracts more than 100 million viewers — might never be seen on any network. The N.F.L. does not want to buy the tapes and has warned Haupt not to sell them to outside parties or else the league will pursue legal action.

Von Miller, back in action. I imagine Tom had a flashback on that sack.

Von Miller, MVP. Defense won the game.

Except Superman, after absorbing several hours' worth of punitive pummeling from the league's best defense, wasn't feeling super into it: Newton hesitated, turned his body, and retreated from a potential collision as he awkwardly hit the ground. The ensuing convergence of other bodies sent the ball careening backward, where Broncos safety T.J. Ward scooped up the fumble and advanced it to within 4 yards of the end zone.

"We were hungry for that one. We saw that ball and it was like hyenas on an antelope.

"And I don't know -- maybe he needed to stay healthy for next year."


Said receiver Demaryius Thomas: "Cam's gotta be freaked out. He hadn't seen anything like that all season."

"We're that good," Harris said. "We're that dominant. People were saying this team would roll over us. I don't know what film they watched. We said we were one of the best teams in a long time, and we backed it up. Defense wins championships."

Let the record show that on Super Sunday in Santa Clara, the Denver defense turned Superman into a dude whose prime motive was self-preservation. The Broncos didn't let Newton dance, and they strutted off as champions, perhaps handing a better-than-a-gold-watch parting gift to an all-time great.

"We knew that if we got the lead, it was over. Our defense is too good. They weren't going to be able to come back. We knew Cam couldn't travel 80 yards on us," cornerback Chris Harris added. "We dared him to throw. The game plan was, can you throw on us? Me, (Aqib) Talib and (Bradley) Roby. We knew he couldn't throw on us."

"Did you guys see him dance today? He (saw) us dance," Harris said, laughing.

" They want to be famous. We want to be champions. They want to be rappers and backup dancers. We want to play football. "
