is no mind darn , favs - 3 are nothing special ..
why would you release the team -3 you really thought would win ... why not make the wrong team the fav out the gate to get the majority confused .. and get a lot of $ on the biggest name in sports , brady and coach b .. people that take the giants early will think they are sharp .. and they just might be . the game is obviosulely from a tracker standpoint ? a tossup , it coul go either way .. sooo ? just think of how much more $ would be bet on (the winning team the giants ) if they made the line giants -3 .. it would be an affirmation and mak epeople that already like the giants really feel a lot better about taking the giants .. glad i could help .
any real players goal (veagas is a player) is to confuse you . to get you to doubt what you think you already hav a great feeling about .. if this was not a part of the war .. what fun would it be . lol

There is no doubt in not only my mind but the respected NFL insiders of the world, that the Giants should be favored here. I expected to see the Giants favored by atleast 3 points possibly more. Hypothetically speaking, let's say the line was set at NY - 3, don't you think that would bring in tons of action on Brady? As the classic underdog in revenge mode? NY + 3.5 to 3 will bring in big time action on New York. This is the strangest line I've ever seen. Eli's confidence cannot and will not be any higher than it is right now. Beating the Packers was just the start of his apex. Eli is like friggin Andy Dufresne In the Shawshank redemption. The scene where he crawled through a 100 yards of garbage in a tight tunnel was Eli going through the Niners and that near hospital job beating he took. Andy/Eli made it through the tough part. The Pats defense will be a joke for Eli after what he went through with the Niners. He's almost made it now, to that island called, Zihuataneo. It took some incredible luck and fight and courage but he's almost there. This game could actually get very ugly.
LMAO; i really love ur post. just the way vegas does things. im my own opinion talking to my galfrend. vegas will never make Giants da favorite. its because u know this allready. NE will always be a public team. i really love ur comparison to Eli & Andy. anyways, who do u like NY vs NE?

Line imo is right:
1. tough to beat the same team twice in one season
2. revenge factor for ne for last sb
3. ne has the better record
I love the Giants chances, but NE is not a bad team and I actually thought the line would have come out as NE -4, but -3.5 makes sense, in between two key numbers 3 & 4 for the right team. If the books came out Giants -3, money would be flooding in on NE. Books want 50/50 action.

I hate NE more than the next guy but they'll win this by a touch. This is a perfect line especially at 3.5. Vegas knew the public would hit New York. Hell I did too at +3 (+100). Just wait for NE to hopefully hit -130 on the ML then pounce on it.
NY is the new darling of the NFL for the past 6 weeks. They've covered 5 straight and everybody and I mean everybody is talking about NY right now.
Vegas is messing with your mind. NE 31 NYG 19

Giants are last years Packers. They also had no business being in the playoffs and just caught fire. I honestly believe that it's Eli's time to add another ring just as when it was Brady's time to add the 2nd ring. Even the great Tom Brady gets rattled when he faces a pash rush. You saw it yesterday with Tom, rushing his passes and having a bad day. Brady and Rodgers fizzle under a PASSRUSH, they just do. Eli? He's prb too stupid to know whats going on, what ever it is, the guy has amnesia,just makes plays while taking a beating. Do any of you even remember the last time Brady had a big time game in the playoffs vs a quality team? Not Tebow and the Broncos. Do you? Im not being a person here but it was when the Pats were cheating/spy gate. If I'm wrong name me the game ? He's been awful in the playoffs lately. Last years SB line opened Pitt -3 I believe. Big time action came in on Pitt but it was Rodgers and his scorching hot team who won it. I feel the same way about these Giants. Julian Edelman will be covering Cruz in the slot. It can really get ugly for the Pats. Havnt made a play yet but big lean on the GMEN and Eli Dufresne. |

#18 Posted: 1/24/2012 1:02:08 AM yes , it seems too good to be true to get the ferocious defense and well accomplished qb playing in indy the home of his big bro to take down the can be known as overrated havent broke through in a while pats .. it will actually get worse for any giant believer the deeper we go into the week .. because you will see things that impress you about ne chances .. if the game is a tossup then really is no edge on paper .. so you just have to go with what you like and try and maintain that confidence . if giants lose ooh well ..
NYG for the title  |

I know you think highly of Eli, but there's somebody named Tom Brady who plays for the Patriots, who has a mind to revenge the Super Bowl they lost to the Giants.
Now why in hell would the Giants be favored by 3? I mean they could, but then I would think the onslaught of Patriots money would make Giants money seem like peanuts. Word would get out that the Giants are favored to the Patriots team.
Seriously guys, get a grip here.

Yes GMEN 9-7. You realize that they had a barrage of injuries all season long right? Recievers and Dline men out for extensive time. You say , why would the Giants be favored? Um because they beat Brady in foxboro already this year with an injured team and umm maybe because the giants are better on both sides of the ball and Eli has played better than any qb during the last 5 weeks with his team fully healthy. That includes Brady. |

I think most everyone would take the Patriots offense over the Giants defense.
Do you really think the Giants offense is better?

I'm just saying get a grip. Nobody's going to make the Giants 3 point favorites.
Whether it makes sense to bet on the Giants is another story. Like I said, I have no call yet.
