Without any help or looking it up, how many of you know what the darn roman numeral 'XLII' means? I personally gave it up years ago. Just refer to it as SB period. I guess that numbering system must be started from some guys over Sicily or something since they never taught that in the US of A! And you always thought football is American sport.

Enough with b.s. The Pats truly deserved to be honored in a new chapter of NFL history. But not sure if there would be an asterisk next to it (the video thing.)
So there is some degree of pressure on them since they are expected to win, while the Giants play with nothing to lose. They have been on a roll, a-home-way-from-home, winning 10 consecutive game on the road so the momentum is what propeled them into this SB. They proved they can rematch (lost to Cowboys twice in regular season) raising their confidence level to the highest. With all these tangible factors it's hard to go against them. I am stat/trend illiterated so that all I can come up with. My only concern is that the line actually a little high making Giants an attracted bet. Would be much more comfortable if it dropped to 10 or below which probably will not happen.
Given the floating point, I'll dish myself with a small Giants bet while enjoying myself an ever-American pastime Super Sunday.

glta & enjoy everyone,
