There are only six times (I may be off by one either way) where the point spread has mattered in SB history. Four of those have occured in the last ten or so years. Parity and salary cap probably have something to do with it BUT... I believe the reason you have so many blowouts in the SB is because one team gets behind and starts pressing and the other team just pours it on even harder. In the SB you will see the blowout team continuing to pour it on well into the 4th quarter many times. SB is definitely a different animal. Blowouts are the norm whether the dog blows out the fav or vice versa. The Pats have not fared well against the number in their 3 recent SB wins. I had them +14 against the Rams but as favs they have not covered. Fortunately I have bet against them in their two other non covers. That said, I actually love them in this game for reasons too many to write here. I smell a Pats blowout in this game. Maybe I'll start a thread and list the specific reasons I love them in this spot next week when I have time. I'm also curious to see who Vanzack likes in this game. I usually don't post here during the year but hang out a bit during the two weeks leading up the SB. I got thrown in the "penalty box" last year when I said something to a whining Bears fan. Loved Indy in that game. Hey Vanzack when are you going to release your pick? I respect your handicapping and am curious. I sense you might like the G-men for certain reasons but I could be wrong. Patriots 49 - 17. Good luck to everyone.
