I like the Ravens in a somewhat lopsided win much like the Pats game. Kaepernick is still just a rookie with only 10 starts. While he is talented and well coached, I just can't see him beating Baltimores defense. Ravens will focus on him with schemed and tough defense. Hoping Baltimore will get up early on the 9ers like Atlanta did. Flacco will rune a very balanced offense and with time running out, Kaepernick will press and start making mistakes. Baltimore won't look back. Take the points and over. Good luck to all. |

Congrats to the G-MEN. They are the better team. Manning played better than Brady also. NY had a better running game and better defense. Pats need to get a running game and improve their defense if they want to win another Super Bowl. Can't expect Brady to win these games alone.

Gameday - Watching videos of the past two Pats - NY games shows the Pats just barely missed several big plays which may have changed the outcomes of those two games. I look for NY to emphasize the run to keep Brady and Co. off the field. Eli will mix a pass here and there for balance. Of course the Pats will scheme and play deception defenses to counter. I think the Pats will run no huddle when on offense to keep NY defense off balance to move the ball downfield quickly for scores. Quick scores to challenge NY to keep up which may aid NY in making mistakes. NY will off course try to pressure Brady with blitzes and coverage scheme. It looks like NY "outmatches" the Pats especially in the run offense. But....the PATS may "outplay" the G-men with their schemes and don't forget about special team play. And also don't forget about that "Tom Terrific" quarterback. He is determined to win that fourth superbowl for his coach and himself joining where now only two QB's and single coach now sit. He can carry that team to victory. He is that good. It is going to be a great, great game. Good luck to all. |

oh yeah, I agree with several posts - the under is the best bet. Good luck to all. |

I think the G-men match up well on both offense and defense. Special teams may favor the Pats. It should be a hell of a game with two all star QB's and two very good coaches. Who's going to make the big mistake late in the game? That's your loser.

They defeated the pats on the road, now they are a 'dog on a neutral field? Something doesn't add up!!! I haven't really seen any patriot posts on here that provide ample reasoning for a new england victory. The giants are now healthy, have been winning on the road...should be able to get pressure on brady, and should be able to put up 30+ points this sunday. I'm taking the Gmen ML and the over (down to 54, will most likely go back up since the public loves betting the over). Additionally, gronkowski will not be at full strength...could even aggravate the injury during the game forcing him to the bench...the only thing that worries me is that it seems like "everyone" is on the Giants in this. However, as my buddy says, sometimes "it's just that obvious." Can someone give me a reason to bet the patriots other than "it's tom brady and the hoodie is coaching." ???????? Thanks!
The above make sense to me. But nobody is talking about Special Teams and I believe the Patriots may have an advantage in the special teams. Actualy were not this years Conference Championship games decided by Special Teams? Even at 54 I am taking the under. Good luck to All |

So based on your fact basis I suppose we could also assume the following:

Maybe we could also assume the below, using your extremely advanced and calculative methods...
*Madonna will be performing the halftime show. madonna was a big popstar in the 80s. She once wore a silver cone bra. Eli's head is shaped like a cone. Giants !
*Tom Brady has 2 kids. Santonio holmes had 3 illegitimate kids before he left college. He wears a green jersey. Tom Brady has green socks. Patriots!!!
Gonna be a tuff game. my $ is on Pats. Last play of the game. WHo would you rather have driving down the field? My money is on Brady..no matter how many kids he has!!
The Back Eye Peas - ????? Oil is black - ????? Madonna wore a silver cone bra - ???? Tom Brady is wearing green socks - ?????
I'm laughing and crying at the same time.

It is hard to believe that G-Men are getting 3 points. You don't even see it going down to 2 or 2.5. - ?? NE only played two winning teams all year and lost them both. Gronk is hurt and with it being a high ankle sprain how effective will he be? O CHO going to be the savior? I don't think so. The money is going to the G-Men Can anyone make any sense of this? |

My gut tells me that Giants will win. G-men defense will perform better than Ravens frustrating Brady. He will have no chance to go deep while Eli will run the ball, throw deep and short - racking up the score. Ravens should have won last week but self destructed. G-men offense will be better. Brady will press and there will be mistakes. It's all good until game time. |

I would like to see Cincy win, but don't see it happening. Houston is at home and Cincy has a rookie QB. I suspect more that forty points will be scored.

I like the Giants giving 3 - Atlanta outdoors in the cold - not good. I also like the under. Guessing the total score will be 41 to 43. |

Both very good teams....and...10 pointsis too much. Take the points. I also don't see a record 60 points being scored. The odds are here.

Locally it's Stillers -8 1/2 and O/U of 34. I think Ben R is playing a little game witht he media about a setback in his injury. Supposedly he reinjured it in the 3rd QTR of the Browns game. What I saw was Ben missing receivers in the first half and improved in the second half even though there was a few drops bu recievers. Take som attention from Tebow and say Ben is not 100%. Gaming Denver and the media. Stillers up early and then the defense scores on a clueless Tebow. Give the points and take the over. |

Been hearing / reading about GB's 5 wide receivers and AR's quick release. GB may line up 4-5 receivers and have Rodgers move around in the pocket to throw and possibly run it. Interesting thought and I am sure we will see this at times GB has the ball. Steelers must run and control the clock keeping it away from GB's offense. Of course this is not an original thought. Yet no one is talking about special teams. I see this as a big advantage for GB - unfortunately. |

Currently I am still thinking it will come down to who makes the least mistakes. On Monday we might be talking about this fumble or that interception cost Packers/Steelers the game. Still looking for +3 for Steelers. Spread percentage favors GB 77 to 43 percent. Be talking at ya! |

Conversely Haini haney WTF his name is drove his team repeatedly into GB territory eventually throwing INTs. Observations: Rogers is extremely accurate putting the ball where only his recievers cna catch it. However, GB recievers were unable to get seperation and or Rogers was unable to find the open one. Again is the PIT D at least equal to CHI? DEF GB has a fine pass rush but they are poor against the run particularly short yardage.other wise there excellent. It has been mentioned that GB during the season was unable to generate come form behind victories where as PIT has. Except for ATL I cant see evidence of this supposed juggernaut spread offense when its really needed. IMO PIT D is better than ATL at least equal to CHI. PIT 3-4 D has better LB's across the board and more complicated in disguising coverages. From 09 to 10 PIT has changed there CB play from a large cushion 90% to tighter man coverage vastly improving the short to medium pass defense, however leaving them vulnerable to the long pass (JETS game). Both PIT and GB offenses have seemingly lost momentum in the second half of there last games and now have 2 weeks off, I havent reviewed the PIT NYJ game, but right now I am thinking of waiting till the public pushes the # up and playing the under. Flesh, I like the analysis. Looking forward to the anaylsis of the special teams, especially Steelers.

Just a suggestion to you, my friend. Good luck to you : ) !!!

Looking at these two teams, it's a tough call. Green Bay looks good and could possibly cover. I think it may come down to that old adage - "The team that makes the least mistakes will win." WIth the spread money favoring GB 55% to 45%. it possible to see the line go to +3 for the Steelers. I could only wish for +3.5 - Then I would bet the Steelers. But currently teasing 'lers and the over/under looks better right now. |

What a storied match up this is. So many NFL titles between these two teams - Makes it a CLASSIC! Green Bay is favored as it should be. They have a very good special team play versus rather poor play by the Steelers. A lott of negatives for Pittsburgh; - A rather suspect OL - Will Pouncey even play? - Suspect seconday even with Polamalu. - GB won't come out Flat as NYJ. But BUT! The Steelers have Ben and that Defense. |

I think Jets played their Super Bowl last week. With a slight let down by them and very good offense and defense by the Steelers - Steelers win and cover.
