Super Bowl 42

It's almost kickoff time so I should get this posted before wages close.

New England 38 (-12) N Y Giants 20. I think we're more likely to see the dominant Patriots passing attack return. The Giants' secondary is relatively weak, though their strong postseason play might be keyed by DB Corey Webster playing better after replacing Sam Madison (from Louisville). When was the last time that Brady & Co. played in 70 degree weather? Nov 4th vs. the Colts - though they only had 24 in that one. But that Colts team (w/ Freeney) was statistically the league's best defense. The other games in that time frame were the 49-28 and 52-7 type. Sports fans were being reminded that a major league baseball franchise exists in Denver.

Props: I like Moss over 95.5 yards receiving, Brady over 295.5 yards passing, and Welker over 7.5 catches - though I haven't placed any dollars or chips on those. Yesterday's Spygate revelations signaled to me to not touch this game w/ a 10-foot pole. The Pats should use that as a positive motivational tool, but it reminds me too much of the Falcons inexplicaply attempting a 2-point conversion instead of kicking an extra point late in a 34-19 loss to Denver after the '98 season. Chris Chandler rolled left (he's an immoble righty) and threw the ball into the front row of the stands. Why was that significant? The over-under in that game was 53 and the bulk of the money that year was on a Denver repeat.
