1. I have them to beat the spread....
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 08:28 AM by Bennyboy
I have a professional gambler friend and his one true play is always go with the dog when the points are over ten. The Pats have not covered a spread that large for a long time.

I don't think the G-Men will win though.

2. That sounds like a good bet.
Pats are not as explosive as they were at the beginning of the season.

19. Me, too. Pats win, but Giants cover
In two of their three Superbowl wins, the Pats did not cover the spread. The only one they did cover, of course, was their first title when they were underdogs. Pats by a touchdown.

3. I'm rooting for them....so I'll pick 'em
If they can take it, it probably won't be by much.

4. here's a class act
http://www.boston.com/sports/nesn/

the link is on the left. It's the video of Tom Brady reacting to Plaxico Burress's prediction of the Giants by 6.

And for the record, I think it's absolute ok for Burress to have some confidence here. His team has already beat a few teams they weren't supposed to beat.

Bottom line, this is going to be a good game.

I'm still cheering for the Pats. And I do think they'll win. By 10? probably not, but I think they'll win by a touchdown at least.

13. Yup. Longtime Giants fan here.
If the Pats were playing anybody else, I'd be rooting for them.

I hope you don't think ill of me MissMillie.

10. By 6? Isn't the Vegas line 14?
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 01:13 PM by SteppingRazor
Personally, though, I think Vegas way underestimated the Giants. I'm making every possible Vegas-line bet I can -- the Giants and 14 points is money in the bank.

On edit: Wait a sec ... are you actually saying the Giants will WIN by six points?!

20. Good bet. I haven't put money on it
but last time I saw it, the line was 12. 15 is a really nice number.

24. It was only 14 at the time...
...but one of my co-workers insisted on giving me 15.

So I'm like, "Yeah, I guess."

21. November 22, 1959
The Boston Patriots entered the American Football League (now the AF Conference). Amaze your husband with your trivia knowledge!

Me, I'm rooting for the Giants.
