NYG vs NE

I'm pretty shocked at the consensus of this game.  Not necessarily that NYG is getting most the action, but more so, at how little NE is getting.  A team which is usually a public darling has now been abandoned and the majority of bettors who supported the Pats throughout the year have now jumped ship.  I've heard the reasons and can somewhat see why. I was all over the G-Men against SF   and immediately was going to jump all over NY before I saw the line and before I thought about it a bit more.  Unlike Collin Coward, who thought the Giants would be 6 pt favorites, which I think is crazy, I actually thought we would see NE favorite by at least 6.

People point to the fact that the Giants are hot, winners of 5 in a row, but who is the true hot team? The Pats have won 10 in a row (6-4 ATS).  I don't care who they've played....that is impressive in the NFL and nobody is mentioning this.  The fact that it's the Pats, who have been perennial winners, it's easy to disregard this.  If just about another team came into this game with their same resume, they would be highly touted.  But since people are used to seeing NE win, I can see why this is disregarded.

Another thing that is mentioned a lot is that NE has not beating a team with an above .500 record during the regular season.  They've played two teams with an above .500 record during the reg season...lost at Pitt and lost to these same Giants by 4 pts despite committing 4 turnovers.  Not sure if this loss to the Giants favors NY.  Nevertheless, this is an absolutely WEAK argument. NE is the reason NYJ,SD, DEN, OAK and PHIL are not above .500.  So give credit where credit is due.  NE has been consistent and hot all year...not over a short span.

People also point to the fact NE defense is weak, but bottom line, both these defenses are poor...it's just NYG has more notable names on their front. I'm sure there will be many excuses about how NYG has been banged up but I'm not buying it.

New England -3 (even) LARGE
NE -7.5 (+180)
Over 54
WRONGO DONGO.  The Giants ARE hotter now and that is what counts .The last 5 games have been huge and they won  them all out performing the pointspred  big except S.F., and that was on road.  All the data and stats and power ratings have not matched the reality of where the GIANTS D is now.  all the so called numbers reflect the regular season, not the present ; it is kind of simple;  what don"t you understand?   They beat them in the S.B., beat them this year and ended their long home winning streak  and Brady SUCKED, (HIS WORDS) AGAINST THE ONLY 3 RESPECTABLE DEFENSES HE PLAYED AGAINST THIS YEAR, PITTS. NYG., AND BALT. and two of those are getting old and decrepid.....THE GIANTS ARE GETTING HEALTHIER AND BETTER AS WE SPEAK .COLIN WAS WRONG,they should be favored by 7.  UWILLCSUNDAY>>>>  NOBIAS HERE>>>>JUST COLOR IT (Lucas Oil Stadium ) BLUE, AS IN BIG BLUE! 

Good luck everyone!

You guys are fooling your selves badly. You realize that Brady contacted his football shrink last week to help him with his mechanics? That doesn't concern you? This guy has clearly lost confidence. If the Pats can't protect him, it's good night Irene. Love the under and big lean NYG.
