So, who's gonna get up @ 1AM to watch the biggest sporting event in the USA.THIS guy is!
In terms of betting, I took the UNDER 55.5 earlier in the week.The line has now settled round the 53's.They have met in a super bowl before (2008)where the G-MEN thwarted NEngland's perfect season.That total was set at 54.5 and only 31 points were scored in a very tight game.Im expecting another tight game even though both sides are considered "overs" teams.
In last 8 meetings the total has gone under 4/6 times.
NYG 24 - NE 20 U 51
NYG 17 - NE 14 U 54.5 (Superbowl)
NE 38 - NYG 35 O 46.5
NYG 6 - NE 17 U 42.5
NYG 14 - NE 16 U 43.5
NE 23 - NYG 22 O 37
NYG 13 - NE 10 U 34.5
NE 10 - NYG 17 U 40.0
So who's going to win?
Thats a tuff one. Interestingly, the majority of the money has come for the GIANTS even though the bookies have them as +3.0 underdogs.They should clearly be the favourites as they have better match-ups across the board, have beaten better opponents, beaten the patriots during the regular season, and have the greater momentum.BUT my gut says NEngland.I just think Bil Belichick & Tom Brady has something up their sleeves that the GIANTS are not expecting.Its a difficult game to call as either side can win it.
Thats why I think there is great value in the Under and that where my moneys going.Im expecting a 27-24 scoreline to the Patriots
A chance to cut, is a chance to cure!
