Okay folks all ATS and ML investments are off on the NY Giants.They are popping off at the mouth and giving NE ammunition for motivation at every turn.These young NY  Giant players AND they're big mouths are just pissing all over my homework..So now I'm using the Giants in 2 team(ncaa BB ) teaser parley(6pts).The 2500 units I was gonna use for the Superbowl and The Giants, like I said" has just been pissed on by young big mouth  inexperience Giant players in the press."Get ready for the parade","Tom Brady's aint this","Patriots over rated".They're just giving away motivation for NE at every other SuperBowl press session.Im doing my home work now looking for my best college BB game or a good NBA game to go with the NYGiants pick for a solid 2 team parley ,with my book.Oh I still have the Giants,just protecting myself,because of the stupid comments being made by The Giants.My book gives me even plays on a two team 6pt parley.Lucky for me there's a few sweet college games I can take advantage of + two NBA games thats sweet as well.Good Luck fellas!!

How about the Giants going into Greenbay and taking them behind the woodshed,and dont want to hear that GB was rusty,thats a lame excuse.The Giants went the road the following week beat SF in they're back yard and your Reason your taking NE is Denver and Baltimore?? Man save your money!!

Whale Fucker:

You are very funny with the she comments over and over. You really showed me. Now to get down to business.

The Patriots have been very tight lipped about injuries (The Belicheckian style) so I am very interested to see if Gronkowski suits up or not. From the many replays I saw during the game it looked like a serious sprain so he will not be at 100%. Most of the Pats offense is outta that 2 TE 2 WR 1 RB set, so if Gronkowski is less than 60%, or is used as just a decoy, this could spell trouble for the Pats.

On the other side of the football, the Giants have run the ball better of late and a few weeks off for Jacobs to get as healthy as possible is a good thing for the GMen. Eli has been playing out of his mind as of late but is still prone to interceptions (I believe he threw 16 INTs this year). The GMen defense also has played pretty solid even without the suffocating pass rush they were getting late in the year (They didn't get to Rodgers until the game was outta hand and Alex Smith is, well Alex Smith).

I think the Pats are playing with serious revenge here and the GMen can't play the nobody believes in us card as they did in Super Bowl 42. I give a slight edge to the Pats coming up with one of their Super Belicheck game plans and winning this game by a slim margin. NE with the hook. GLTA

The last Super Bowl when these two met in 2007 the total was set at 52.0 and there was just 31 points scored! When these two teams met earlier in the season there was just 44 points scored and a lot of them came in the last two minutes of the game. The team that wins this game is the one that plays the best defense. Both of these teams know they have to stop the other team and all week that is all they have heard about that. The defenses are going to be extremely motivated. They have also had two weeks to study their opponents again. That is all a big benefit to the defense. The 'under' is 8-2 in New York's last 10 playoff games and they haven't given up over 20 points yet this postseason. And they faced a very good Green Bay offense. The Patriots haven't given up over 24 points since Dec. 11. Their defense gave up just 10 and 20 so far in the playoffs. They are playing better than people are giving them credit for. These are two excellent teams with defensive coaches. They are going to play a tough rivalry game and this one is going to be lower scoring than most of the experts are predicting. I am not going to worry about who wins but I am going to load up on the 'under' in this game and take it to the bank!

I agree 100%. The total is up in the stratosphere and the last game only got to 44 points because of a scoring frenzy during the 4th. I will be pounding the under with NE and the hook. GLTA

oh yeah, I agree with several posts - the under is the best bet.

Good luck to all.

My pick is Giants +3 and Giants ML +115.  I don't play totals very much, but agree with the under as the defenses will be stout on Sunday.

My reasoning for my pick above: Eli is playing smarter now and making better decisions.  You can guarantee that Peyton and Archie Manning are helping Eli to get better.  In the playoffs, his decision making was superb and therefore less interceptions thrown.

If Eli can throw no interceptions or at worst one interceptions, Giants win with their defense and offense.  If Eli or the Giants have too many turnovers, Patriots win by 3 to 7 points.

Good luck my Covers friends!
