Patriots had the easiest schedule in the league. They have not beaten any good team this year except the Ravens, which they barely got by. Their D is one of the worst in the league.

The Giants are HOT, since getting healthy they have been the best team in the NFL. Their D has stepped up allowing 13pt on avg during the last 5 games. Manning is having a really awesome year and he has 2 of the best WRs in the league and Manningham aint bad either. Giants running game has seen improvements as well over this period of time. Giants play very well away from home. Manning has the most road playoff wins of any QB in the history of the NFL.

The game is on turf, this will benefit the Giants pass rush. Brady loves to stay in the pocket, Giants usually do better vs teams with a non mobile QB.

Giants have won the last 2 meetings, in the last one Nicks wasn't even active.

Simply put, Giants is better on both sides of the ball, better away from home and has more advantage playing on turf.

There you have it, some reasons why some of us like the Giants

[Smoke]

we're getting 3 points with the better team thats why

[d2bets]

Hard to reconcile the best team being 8-8 this season. Seems odd, doesn't it? That's not to say they can't win, of course they could, but being so unequivocal that they are superior to NE, that I can't buy. I think the line is pretty spot on. I give NE a slight edge, but 3 points if you can get that is huge. Would not surprise me in the least if this is a 3 point game....like every other NE super bowl.

INJURIES

NUFF SAID

INJURIES

NUFF SAID

It's not nuff said. Everyone has injuries. Pats have won 10 games in a row outscoring their opponents 362-188. I'm not going to dismiss that so easily. I don't really want to bet on this game, but all the confidence from Giants backers is tempting me to take the Patriots. If the line is a reasonable -2.5 at -110 or better I may just pull the trigger too.

Coughlin is the better coach

He is not a cheater

Coughlin beat this fukking cheater in 2007, he beat him in the perseason this year(preseason matters), he beat him again the reg season, and he will beat his sorry ass again the super bowl

GO GIANTS

Pretty small sample. Bellichek has a bunch of rings. And preseason doesn't matter. Also the Pats beat the Giants reg season '07 FWIW.

Seems like we have a lot of Giants FANS here. Not a fan of either team, but Giants are overhyped.

You need to step back and look at your reasoning. What you mention above is a simply terrible reason to risk your cash. If you really don't want to bet it, don't bet it.

I only want to bet it if the overconfident Ginats fans push it to a regular -2.5. I think the line should be -3 leaning to -3.5. -2.5 has enough value.

what value?

[d2bets]

dude how you get so many points

Mostly poker. I've spent and lost a lot back though. I had closer to 30k not long ago.

[GunShard]

Giants are the Patriot's kryptonite.

[ArMaNiBoYnYc]

**** the patriots and the red sox the best thing boston ever had going for them was manny ramirez

[Jonah]

This game reminds me a lot of BCS championship game. LSU was the better team that was getting points that the public loved...Countless other reasons.

[Gixxer1K]

I hear BetOnline.COM is willing to cover the $5 mil wager from Birdman and they are going to post a prop bet to see if he makes the wager or not!!! That's craaaaazy! I don't who who has the bigger gonads in this one! Go Giants!!!!!!

Uhh no, it WAS the injuries. Giants were down Snee, Nicks, Bradshaw, Boley, Tuck, Osi, Prince and Mathias. Yes every team has their injuries..but since they have ALL been back on that field(what really matters) its more like 7-1 with that 3 point loss to the packers, who were playing like the packers who were 15-1.

gmen checking in

empire state of mind bitch

[MHawk]

Its because the Patriots D is so terrible, and the Giants are Rolling right now.

They also dont really have much of a weakness. The D is stout, the running game can always be counted on, and Eli is having his best season.

But Im taking the Pats, because the David Tyree catch probably still haunts Brady's sleep.

[xyzky]

They are better than the Patriots, period.

Yup, that pretty much sums it up...

[BigdaddyQH]

If you paid attention, you could have taken the Giants +3.5 -110 at the Wynn, and the Pats -2.5 -105 at the Mirage. That middles 3, a very popular number in the Conference Championships. That is the ONLY play worth making. Everything else you guys talk about is nothing more than pure speculation from guys who lost more than they won this past season.

I think you mean the Super Bowl.

This game should come down to a turnover.

Yeah if you happened to be at the Wynn and then was able to foretell that the line would move down. Pretty big ifs. I'd take +3.5-110 and -2.5-105 right now for as much as possible.

Head Coaches: Draw
Quarterbacks: Draw
Recievers: Draw
Runningbacks: Draw
Pass rushers: Giants
Field goal kicker: Draw
Home field advantage: Draw
ATS points: Giants
Better winning record in the playoffs: Patriots
Injuries: Giants (Patriots Rob Gronkowski is partially injured, which could give the slight edge to receivers to the Giants.)

If you ever seen that TV show Deadliest Warrior, they compare which is the better of the two by giving a side an edge. I think this is best way to cap a game.

[The Kraken]

Picking a side is not jumping on a bandwagon... Mods, sticky this thread so everyone knows OP is an idiot.

[jjgold]

I am thinking of making massive wager on the Giants

IMO its a mismatch

Terrible way to cap a game. For example, the quarterbacks don't face each other, they face the opposing defense.

Eli and Brady draw? Eli is way way way better then Brady!!!

[LT Profits]

I honestly do think that the Giants have the better team right NOW (which is really all that matters), but two things that have held me back are Belichick having two weeks to prepare for a team that beat him (28-10 ATS in revenge games) and Brady coming off of a bad game (guy just never has two bad games in a row). It looks like it will be props only for me.
