Bovada Sportsbook on Harbaugh's declining the safety

[The Mailman]

“It seems controversy has been the theme in the NFL this Season when it comes to betting on it and last night once again a call at the end of the game affected the point spread directly. With the spread moving between 7.5 and 8.5 all day yesterday the safety would have allowed the Niners to cover winning by 9, however this game was pretty evenly bet so we did not see as much of a backlash as we did last time Seattle covered on the last play touchdown call against Green Bay. Safety or no safety was not a huge swing for the book either way”

Vegas books said they would have gotten crushed with the safety so Harbaugh saved them. Personally, I liked it :)

I personally don't get the football motivation behind Harbaugh's decision. A tiebreaker at some point is total points. I was happy I got the win in stead of a push. But I thought it was a no brainer take the safety.

Harbaugh must have thought well then they can do an on-side kick and score faast and then do a nother on-side kick and hope for a quick field goal. SO I guess I can see that reasoning
