in this business, you have to re-invent yourself. That's why the new CBB system I'm using is @ 24-12 this season. So too do you have to this for the Super Bowl. The Giants are playing great and have momentum right now. However, a 2-week layoff takes some wind out of their sails. This still was a 9-7 regular season team. NO TEAM has EVER won the Super Bowl doing that in the history of the NFL. With the uptempo, no-huddle, double TE plan of penetration, QB Tom Brady can dominate with extra prep time easier than he scored 30 or more points 12 times this season. How can they score more than 20 like they did in meeting 1? Now, their offensive line is healthier and has impressive depth. They have enough depth to keep the Giants front at bay long enough for Brady to work his magic. Yes, there will be sacks. However, there will also be a ton of completions against the 4th worst passing defense in the league. After the defensive front, the Giants are just not that good. Vernon Davis throttled them for 112 yards receiving and 2 TD's as TE 2 weeks ago. The Giants have deep pass threats too but New England has the best overall talent with over-achievers and a tough TE system that will cause problems for the Giants. New York is just too vulnerable without a consistent pass rush. NE offensive line is healthy enough to provide time. I also think Brady knows the Giants will attack from the edges and will make adjustments he couldn't make the first SB meeting due to lack of mobility to injury. The Pats are also given the edge in special teams with better kickoff and punt returns winning the field position game more often than not. Giants K Lawrence Tynes has also gone just 4 of 9 from 40+ yards out which is not his strong suit. NE's Stepehn Gostkowski is 10 of 13 in that same category. Another big change is having OC Josh McDaniels back with Brady. He was also there when Brady threw 50 TD's in a season. You also have to consider how Belichick does versus a team the 2nd time in a season. He improves his score over 80% by a good margin. In fact, he's 17-3 ATS in the revenging upset role he's faced with here. he's also a nifty 11-1-1 ATS as a favorite of 7 or less up against the NFC. In the Super Bowl, you also need to run the ball. New York had the worst rushing offense this season @ 3.6 yards per carry. Even with Brady passing for over 5,800 yards to date, the Pats have rushed for 4 yards a carry. However, the BIG KEY is on the Patriots' defensive side of the ball. Now, the Pats are healthier with LB Jerod Mayo, FS Patrick Chung & LB brandon Spikes all back in form. That was not the case the 1st meeting. They should be able to limit the Giants passing game enough to pull this game out. Tom Brady is elite but Eli Manning is getting there. That's the bottom line. Without 2 muffed punts by SF, we wouldn't have this matchup. Lastly, new Engalnd was favored by 9 this season in meeting 1. What has changed that much to have the line swing a whole TD? New York's "D" is better but so is New England's. Both offenses have been just as consistent. I don't see the justification of a 7-point swing. TAKE The PATRIOTS to WIN the Super Bowl. IT'S PROPS TIME!!!!! 1) Take the NYG to have MORE PENALTY YARDS 2) Take the NYG to be the 1ST TEAM TO RECEIVE a kickoff 3) Take Eli Manning to have MORE THAN 3 rushing yards 4) Take Lawrence Tynes to make MORE THAN 1 1/2 FG'S 5) Take NO SPECIAL TEAM or DEFENSIVE TD'S 6) Take Eli Manning 1st PASS-INCOMPLETE 7) Take Tom Brady to go UNDER 42 1/2 YARDS on his longest pass completion 8) Take the NATIONAL ANTHEM to go OVER 1 MIN 34 SECONDS. ENJOY the winners & BET SMART.

I'm expecting a replay of the last game of the regular season 4 years ago. Both offenses are now healthy. Grontkowski should not be a factor. Offensive lines on both sides are capable of opening holes, providing protection and sustaining drives. Both QB's can burn you as secondaries are both suspect. Grab the OVER as another 7 STAR winner!
