I would go out on a limb and say that the Brady/Belichick combo does not have a noticeable advantage in this game...probably for the first time in a long time.
In order to beat the Pats you need to do two things very well...rush the passer and throw the deep ball. Giants may have the best combo of that in the game. The Ravens should have beaten NE with the same combo but a Lee Evans drop and Billy Cundiff shank and here we are two weeks later.
I honestly dont know how the Pats are even favored in the game. If you like to use similar opponents, look at the Green Bay game. GB has a better offense and better defense and were at home and the Giants took them to the woodshed. This game shouldn't be much different.
My only worry is the Giants O line protecting Eli. Other than that...who is Julian Edelman covering in the slot? Victor Cruz?
The Pats defense has gotten better over the past month or two but they are where they are because Brady is able to pick apart defenses. A limited Gronk and an opponent who can successfully rush with 4 and drop 7 means a very long day for Brady.

Well said......after all is said and done.....no matter if you believe in Billys ability to game plan better than GOD himself, it will still come down to MATCH UPS. At this time, I see the Giants as the better match up team.
What bothers me the most is.......Vegas doesn't give away winners this easy. So besides my conspiracy theory, I agree with your thread.

Pats are #1 seed in AFC plus Brady bunch and Bill Bilichick combo, they should be favored in this game. However, a team that is favored not necessarily means it should win and cover.

Totally agree that the Giants are the play, but not a fan of how you've chosen to play it. Just put those six units on the moneyline and thank your stars that you're getting plus money.

BILLY, 2 WEEKS TO PREPARE, this year PITTS. (L), Jets playoffs last year. (L), S.B. vs NYG. (L)+ S.B. VS PHIL AND CAR. (NO COVER). NO EDGE.

Your RAVENS ML wagers should have hit but I know you cashed with those points
It is going to be HARD to do an exact winning margin w G-MEN, but you gotta like ML+120. -3 at +190 and -7 at +355. Gotta agree with your writeup as Teams are fairly even matched but G-Men have better D-Line and can stretch the field better than Pats
What r your feels for TOTAl and props, would be interested in your take

why wouldnt you just take all that money and bet the Giants money line at +105?.....I guess it depends the amounts you have on each....the Pats biggest loss this year was 8 in Pittsburgh...may wanna consider that.

pressure on the QB helps defend the deep ball, im sorry but im not sure exactly what you meant
it forces earlier throws sometimes. the line is good, not super dominant like the giants. flacco was sacked and hurried a bunch of times and they forced him into 1 mistake with 3 sacks. Flacco's YPA was 2 full yards higher than Brady which is insane. Eli is a better deep ball qb
the only way the Pats are in this game is if Brady is perfect...has a day like 32-44 405 yards and 4 tds with no turnovers
even still, i need to be convinced the giants will not be able to score the same on the pats
