  I hope that Spin, Davis and Richard are all picking against the spread and not serious about the Dolphins beating the Patriots.  If so, then they must have all suffered a stroke of some kind.  I understand that the Dolphins are a professional football team and have lost many of their games by 3 points or less.  However............this Miami Dolphins team will not beat the ...(more)

I took Aaron Hill because he was left on the board late. I'm in a H2H points league (HR R RBI SB W), 10-team. Should I drop Hill for O Hudson or Ellis?? Same question for JJ Hardy .. afraid of a meltdown .. should I pick up Y Escobar?

Can't believe what I see, all the "experts" have picked the Giants to win today. What have they been smoking?

I guess they all must live in the N.Y. area; that's the only thing that makes sense.

Wow.

The Porcupine loves the Giants and the points.  It will be very tough to give the Pats their first loss of the season, but not impossible.  The Giants are playing very well themselves and have a good defense, which can carry them to victory in this game. 

I like the Giants +12, and the Under 53.5.  I actually like the Giants straight-up, so the Money Line could be a ...(more)

I concur  with Redgog..

The Giants +12 are my Lock of theYear

I will likly make a smaller play on the over 54.

Pats have not covered at all vs 2 td lines.... minus the pittsburgh steelers game... since the mid point where the bills and skins got crushed by the pats...

In last 3 superbowls the ;pats were in... the Patriots o ...(more)

I always believed there were no locks in the NFL until the line came out for this year's Super Bowl: New England -12 vs. New York.

Just listen to me for a minute and you'll realize that New England wins this game by at least 20. Think about how this game is going to open up. Brady and the Pats are not going to be intimidated at all by the bright lights and spectacle known as the ...(more)

11.5 points sounds like a lot but the weather is right up NE's alley and they want to win big, trust me.  NE by 20, and that overrated bunch of diaper wearing cry babies from the 72 dolphins can finally shut up and take up gardening!

During the Giants/Bucs game the announcer reported that Eli Manning contributed some of his second half slumps to poor weather. Well there may be some validity to that statement even this year despite the Giants playing well.

Manning played terribly against the Bears in the cold on the road and was lucky to escape with a win. (16/27 195 1 TD 2 INT).

Manning looked pretty ordinar ...(more)

We aren't that crazy about the line, but we do like the side. We are going with:

Over 53.5

If we had to pick the game all the signs point to the NYG +11.5. We like them better in the opening line +13.5 to 14 pts. One thing stands out to us if you look back at the great teams in the superbowl teams like 49er, Cowboys & Steelers the boat raced who the played.
