is this the greatest upset in sports history?

Jets were 18 point dogs in '69 and beat the Colts by 9 in Super Bowl 3... Redskins were 17.5 at Dallas in '95 and won... Stanford was a 42 point dog against USC and won... App St over Michigan there wasnt a line on, so who knows... Elway was a 12 point dog to Green Bay in a Super Bowl and won... to name a few...

and Pedro Martinez lost once to the D-Rays ...

no way. not the biggest ever. similar to marlins over yankees in 03. remarkable, but lets not go crazy.

Giacomo paid 50 to 1 in the 2005 Kentucky Derby... buster Douglas was 42 to 1 when he beat Mike Tyson.... 1980 miracle on Ice is generally regarded as the greatest upset...

yeah, those marlins came outta nowhere...wild card and all...the cubbies fiasco...Josh Beckett...Lowell...hell of a team...turned out..

730, yeah, that kinda upset aint pretty... ||an_roll_laugh.gif' border=0>

Biggest upset based on a historic opportunity ||peace.gif' border=0>

Chaminade over Ralph Sampson

By the numbers it has to be Stanford Over USC as 42pt dogs. App St was 34 pt dogs at Michigan available at some books.

Just like the Jets upset, for the occasion & historic importance, it ranks right up there, but in terms of the relative & comparative strengths of the teams, no way. The Appy St & Chaminade upsets were far bigger mismatches. While the Pats may have had the best O of all-time or at least most productive, their D was suspect & every team they played in the 2nd half of the season that could get good pressure on Brady & move the ball some (Philly, Balt, NYG & even the Jets - lol) gave 'em big-time trouble & Philly and Balt probably should've won. Probably shouldn't have been that much of a shocker (other than the low scoring) cause the Giants strengths were exactly what was needed most to have a good chance of beatin NE - best pass rush in the league, strong O & D line & a balanced offense capable of holding onto the ball for awhile & puttin up some points. Don't think anyone else coulda beat 'em in that spot, but NY had the perfect tools to do it & Eli came thru big-time - his only INT should have been a completion. A little bit of the same with the Jets upset over the Colts. They had a far better team than the media & most everyone else gave 'em credit for just because they played in the supposedly far inferior AFL. Anyone who had followed 'em & knew football knew how good they were & wasn't that surprised. Gotta tip your hats to the Giants though - a great game & they did everything they had to to close it out. Still think the Pats would win 7 outa 10, but they definitely earned it & were the best team last Sunday. Thought the whole 2 wks the Giants were the play, but overthought myself into losing a ton of $$ in the end. Would've liked to see the perfect season, but had to like seein Eli/Coughlin come thru after all the shit they've taken & the Giants takin it from 'em, not just backin in in some way.

this is the greatest upset...period... because no team as '''ever''' gone 18-O and loss the big one...coming back in a game by a million points will never reverse that fact.. only one team as felt that type of loss.....the patriots...
