Well, Jim Harbough stunned the gambling world by not taking the safety. I have no idea what he was doing honestly, but I will certainly take it. To recap for those people who weren't watching, the line was 7.5 (on some sites it was 9) on some sites, and the Seahawks were down by 7 with the ball on their own 5 yard line. QB Russel Wilson tried to go for it 4th and 17 with a long pass play to Golden Tate, with 1:41 remaining in the game, and with no TOs remaining, it was the obvious choice. Golden Tate caught the ball right on the first down marker, but as the +7.5 betters were celebrating, the official threw a flag for a high-low block in the end-zone. As a result of a foul in the end zone, it was reported as a safety. Jim Harbough however, decided to decline the penalty if the play was short of the first down, because he appeared to just want to take a knee and go home, rather than dealing with a possible onside kick after the safety. The officials ruled the play short of the first down, which resulted in no safety, which resulted in rejoice before bed for all +7.5 pickers, including SGS. I am sorry if your head just exploded from all the twists and turns, but we aren't liable for your headaches, blame Jim Harbough.
