haha Reugamer...he will play a HUGE role in this game. Great write-up PatsGrl...i think you are right on except for the score. I think they will get the ball to Moss early and get a lead then let their defense take over and hand it off to Maroney in the 2nd half. Going to be another controlled brilliant game from Brady. I'll predict 19-23 for 265 yards and 3 td's. But still riding the UNDER in this one just based on the trends that I posted before.

A TEASER IS A BOOKIES WET DREAM........ you have to hit 2 outcomes.........
PLEASE DON'T TEASE THE SUPERBOWL....... PLEASE..... I BEG YOU..... FROM ONE GAMBLER TO ANOTHER......
Instead of teasing it.... why don't you donate your money, cause you'll be putting it in the same column on your excell spreadsheet titled (loss)
RANKINGS DON'T MEAN SHIT TO ME, the variable is the uncommon opponents......
If you want to get some advice.... read IRISHEYEZ.... some of the vets on the site.... they are usually accurate.......
IF THE USER NAME SAYS PATS GIRL..... assume they live in new england or, i know this is tricky, shhh (she might be a patriot fan)
when was the last time the patriots covered in the superbowl?????
probably the last time the PATRIOT FANS rooted for the Giants....
AFTER ALL.... ALL THOSE NEW ENGLAND FRONT RUNNERS USED TO ROOT FOR THE GMEN.........
Take the points..... wait till it hits 11.5 (i use bodog)

The better team huh? That is what the Dallas Cowboys are saying, they are the better team. They sure had more pro bowlers then the Giants, but that didn't help.
Your team is your team. Are you willing to bet money on your team? I betting money on mine.
I think the Giants will win because the Pats ran for 44 yards. Giants had no trouble moving the ball, running and passing. The Giants have the better punter. Brady gave the ball away, 3 times. Patriots covered the spread once in the last 8. Best of all, Patriots are long overdue for a loss.
Good teams win games, Great teams cover the spread!

"Of course, now the Giants have to deal with a challenge that will be infinitely greater than the one New England offered back on Dec. 29. The Patriots haven't lost a Super Bowl in the three times they've reached that game under coach Bill Belichick. They also have strength in numbers. While Toomer and Strahan represent all of the Giants' Super Bowl experience, the Patriots boast 21 players who have played on a team that has advanced to that game. That's a hell of an advantage in a contest of this magnitude."
OK maybe i was 1 player off, but does that make it a incorrect fact?
and here's the link to the whole story....

I've been on here for awhile now and NEVER post "incorrect facts" so before you want to call me out on what i post, maybe YOU should do your research and CHECK YOUR FACTS!!!!! If you dont, you just make yourself look like a FOOL!!!!!!
WTF, these main forums are not what it used to be.....

They played 2 times this season and I don't give a crap what you say, it counts. I said it before the Dallas game and everyone said the same thing. The odds of them winning again is ridiculous and the Pats are due to lose sooner or later. Go back to the 49ers vs. the Broncos in Superbowl XXIV. The niners were favored by 11.5 the finalscore was 55-10 niners. That was the last time that a blowout was predicted and it actually happend. 18 years ago? not gonna happen sorry guys i'm an odds kinda guy and the odds of this happening are rare. Sticking with whats making money and the Pats have covered only 2 of the last 9. Also taking the G-men in a parlay with the under gets you 8 to 1. Gotta love 8 to 1.

Some of you may remember that the week after Shockey went down, I proclaimed that the Giants were DONE......Boy was I wrong. I searched for my post where I said that, but couldn't find it.
In any event, I heard something last week on local sports talk radio that may have explained why I was wrong. Sid Rosenberg does a daily show on am790 the ticket, here in South Florida. Personally, I never liked they guy as he came across as cocky and pompous, but what he said last week made perfect sense to me. Apparently, he used to do sports talk radio in NY and was the host for the NYG pre game shows and claims to have connections inside the organization. He stated that the reason that Eli had struggled in the past was a direct result of Shockey coming back to the huddle after every single play and giving him crap about not throwing him the ball. After seeing the way that Eli has played in recent weeks, I gotta say that I believe what Sid said. Take it for what it's worth.
I'm not a fan of either team in this game, but I am leaning on taking the Giants and the points. I think that their pass rush will be quite effective and I'm impressed with the way the linebackers, especially Pierce have played the run. On offense, the Giants have looked quite impressive running the ball and I don't think that the Pats can stop the run. I do think that this will be a close game and that's why I'm taking the Giants. I only wish I had jumped on the 14 points when it opened. Also have a slight lean on the under and am sure that I will be playing numerous props.
I am going to Vegas for this game so I won't be around on game day to discuss the game or post emoticons during the game. (still can't believe that my wife is letting me go
) Best of luck to all my friends with your picks.
I look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Last time a blowout was predicted and won was actually the Niners over the Chargers 49-26 as a 18 point favorite.
Preseason doesn't mean shit. If you want to back the Giants come up with better reasoning. Good luck playing the "due" angle.

I'm too busy to get away this time of year (tax accountant) but I'm going to go one of these years anyway. Good luck and have a great time.
Good luck to you too.
Hopefully, I'll have a few tax questions for you when I get back.

Just so you know Wonbad....the odds are actually in favor of the team winning 3 in a row when two teams meet 3 times in one season. Since the AFL NFL merger in 1970 this has happened 18 times including the Giants and Cowboys this season. 11 out of 18 times one of those teams have won all 3 games. Now Im not saying that the preseason meeting this year even counts as a game but even if it does you say your an odds kinda guy.....11-7 means the odds are not in your favor here

This is what coldhardfootballfacts.com said about the Packers/Giants
game, BTW they're saying about the same thing this game.
As we said last week, no team in the NFL this year is more balanced than Green Bay. We're not surprised to see their Quality Stat beatdown of New York here ... although the Giants were similarly outmatched against Dallas, and that turned out pretty well for them. But Dallas at least showed some weaknesses that offered the Giants a glimmer of hope. Green Bay shows none. This game looks to be even more one-sided than the other conference title game, with Green Bay holding definite advantages in everything: Quality Stats, weather, health, location and certainly intangibles with a 38-year-old legend QB. It's a pretty clear-cut choice.
The final score: Green Bay 34, New York 14

is so much fun.
The final score: Tampa Bay 27, New York 17
Summary
And it's three-for-three against
Bonzo. New York looked great in Week 17, but going on the road against
an excellent defense just doesn't add up to an upset victory. Plus, as
has been widely reported this year, teams are just 4-11 a week after
playing New England. And the teams that blew their load and nearly beat
New England (Indy, Philly, Baltimore)? They combined to lose seven
straight after their near-misses against the Patriots.

Summary
In terms of picking against the
spread, this seems to be the easiest game of the four to figure. Dallas
has the edge in every area, and already proved to be 10 points better
than the Giants in the regular season. Twice.
And for the "it's tough to beat a
team three times" crowd, it's really not – a piece
on pro-football-reference.com points out that favorites are 9-3 in
third meetings since the merger. The Cowboys are better than the
Giants, healthier than the Giants, and playing at home.
The enthusiasm for New York (70
percent of the betting money as of mid-week) is a classic reaction to
wild-card round success. But as the road teams' 27-percent winning
percentage in the divisional round since the merger suggests, winning
the first one rarely leads to winning the second one.
The Giants are a trendy pick as this
week's upset special. And Dallas certainly stumbled over the last few
weeks. But all the actual evidence over the course of the season
indicates another solid Cowboys victory.
The final score: Dallas 35, New York 21
Good teams win games, Great teams cover the spread!

Aloha my friends
It's been a while just thought I would stop in to post my first pick of probably many for this game. I wish the line was still at 14 but I still cannot see how the Giants defense cannot keep this one within reach.
Our lines will move from day to day so I decided to go with this first one until another line movement.....
Giants final +12
Aloha and good luck to all

You're the epitome of Jackass....among other things Wassup my brother
I returned your email last night let me know if it went through.
Lefty and some others are right about this thread and I'm not sure what's worse this thread and the ego's or the other websites trying to compare the 1972 Dolphins versus the 2007 Patriots?
How can anyone compare 2 teams from different era's with a different set of rules? Plain and simple the 1972 Dolphins were great in their time and the 2007 Pats are the great team of 2007. I hate going through ESPN,NFL.com,etc,etc,seeing the same topic over and over again 72' Dolphins vs the 07' Pats give me a break if anyone can give a correct statement about who is the better of 2 teams from different era's is either full of $hit or a football god.
