5:30:00 PM OVER 54,NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
-vs-New York Giants
PLAY ON: ASA Over 54, NY Giants vs. New England

We have a very nice starting point when attempting to make a prediction on what will happen Super Bowl Sunday. That starting point is to simplify things and take a look at what happened when these two teams faced each other just one month ago. That should give us a fairly good barometer of what we can expect on Sunday. That game ended with the Patriots winning 38-35. That?s 73 total points. Nearly a full 20 points more than the posted total for this Sunday. That game stood at 51 at the end of the third quarter and went over Sunday?s posted total of 54 with more than 11 minutes to go in the game. Keep in mind that was in windy Giants stadium where the temperature was just above 40 degrees. The controlled environment on Sunday in the dome should only help things. In that New England win to end the regular season, Brady shredded the Giant secondary for 356 passing yards. That was also the game that Eli Manning began to resemble his older, more heralded brother throwing for 251 yards and 4 TD?s. Neither team was able to run the ball effectively (Pats had 44 yards and Giants had 79) which bodes well for more passing again in the rematch. We know Belichick will design an offense that takes advantage of his opponent?s weakness. That would be the Giants pass defense. New York was the 8th best rush defense in the NFL this year allowing just 97 YPG. Belichick knows he can pass on the G-Men so don?t expect him to beat his head against a wall trying to run the ball. Our reports from Arizona tell us not to be at all surprised if the Pats run a no-huddle offense with 5 wides and no running backs. Look for that on Sunday. Much will be made of the fact that after putting up huge numbers the first half of the season, the Pats offense has fallen off a bit. After scoring almost 40 PPG their first 9 games they have put up ?just? 32 PPG their last 9. However a close look reveals that the temperature has not topped 45 degrees at game time in ANY of their last 9 games. Thus, weather has obviously been a huge factor down the stretch. Now they finally get to play in 70 degree controlled climate with no wind. And now they?ve had two weeks to implement a game plan. You can bet New England will keep the scoreboard flashing this Sunday. That means in order to keep pace, the Giants will also have to put up some serious points. We expect New England to get ahead and New York will have to do whatever they can to keep up in this game. This one at least gets into the 60?s. Take the over.

FREE PROP BETS:

First New England touchdown: Ben Watson (9:1) ? The Patriots are sending five offensive players to the Pro Bowl, not including Wes Welker, which means tight end Benjamin Watson is often overlooked. With much of the coverage focus going toward Randy Moss and Welker, Watson is often left with one-on-one coverage and he has capitalized. He?s tallied eight total touchdowns this year, including two in the playoffs, and is one of Tom Brady?s favorite targets in the red zone. Seven of his eight touchdowns have come from nine yards out or closer so you can be sure that Brady will be looking his way down near the goal line.

UNDER 1 Touchdown Greater than 47.5 yards ? The percentages show that there is a very slim chance that there will be a touchdown scored of greater than 47 yards. New England has played 18 games this year and only seven of those games featured a touchdown of more than 47 yards, or just 38.9 percent of its games. New York has played 19 games this year and only nine of those games featured a touchdown of more than 47 yards, or just 47.4 percent of its games. Additionally, the Patriots have scored 75 touchdowns this year with just 11, or 14.7 percent, coming from more than 47 yards. The Giants have scored 44 touchdowns this year with just seven, or 15.9 percent), coming from more than 47 yards. The percentages strong suggest that this game will not see a touchdown of more than 47 yards.

OVER 44.5 Longest Made Field Goal ? Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes was very nearly the goat when he missed two fourth-quarter field goals in New York?s win over Green Bay in the NFC Championship. He came through in overtime, though, nailing a 47-yarder in porous weather conditions. That should?ve been expected as Tynes was a perfect 8-for-8 from 40-49 yards out this year. He?s made 27-of-33 (81.8 percent) overall this year and will have his confidence back after hitting that game winner. New England kicker Stephen Gostkowski isn?t as well known as his predecessor Adam Vinatieri and he?s hardly the focal point of the Patriots? high-scoring offense. He?ll have more than a few opportunities in this game and he has proven more than capable of hitting from deep. He has connected on 21-of-24 (87.5 percent) of his attempts this year and is 6-of-10 from 40 or more yards in his career. Both kickers are extremely accurate and both will get ample opportunities in this game. Also, with this game being played in a dome, weather won?t be a factor. There will be at least one field goal of greater than 44 yards in the Super Bowl. Take the over.

Wake Forest 4.5 (-110) SportBet vs 508 North Carolina St.
Analysis: Play On: Wake Forest


Note: Deacon Demons meet the Wolfpack in NC State with double revenge on it mind knowing the last three teams that squared off with double revenge from last season against NC State are 3-0 ATS. With Wake finishing one-game under .500 last season, no thanks to the two losses against the Wolfpack, look for a payback here today.


JIM FEIST

Mavs at Pistons: Dallas is a bit short on backcourt depth with Devin Harris and Jerry Stackhouse hurting. They prefer an uptempo pace, but have gone two straight games under the total with a thin backcourt. Detroit plays great defense at home, allowing just 87 ppg. The Pistons are 13-6 under the total at home. When these teams met last month, the game went under the total and this shapes up as a defensive duel in Motown.

Play the Mavericks/Pistons under the total!


DAVE COKIN

Canisius played a great game Friday in demolishing Fairfield. But this is a weak team and the Griffs figure to bounce back to their norm here. Loyola is the vastly superior squad and I look for an easy win by the Greyhounds."

The average margin of victory for the favorite in those 12 games is 12.3 points per game. Play on Montana minus the points

3-Unit Play. Take #101 New York Giants (+12) over New England Patriots (6:30 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 2)
This is just too many points to pass up. The Giants played with the Patriots in the Meadowlands when they had much less to play for than New England. New York matched them physically and emotionally and I think they will do the same on Super Sunday. Trends are out the window at this point, so this is just a play for pride. This entire bet ? and this entire game ? really comes down to something that, as I?ve learned over and over again, you just can?t handicap: turnovers. If the Giants turn the ball over less than two times we?re going to cover this bet and they have a very strong chance to win this game. Same goes for if they win the turnover battle overall. If the G-Men turn the ball over twice, it?s a 50-50 bet, and if they turn the ball over more than twice it?s going to be a bloodbath. I see New York taking care of the ball, rushing and playing good, aggressive defense, and I think that while the Patriots will win this will be a fourth-quarter game and an entertaining one at that.

2-Unit Play. Take ?Under? 54.0 New York Giants vs. New England Patriots (6:30 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 2)
1-Unit Play. First Quarter: Take ?Under? 10.5 New York Giants vs. New England Patriots (6:30 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 2)
The first quarter play is kind of obvious. I expect each team to come out and dance around the ring for about 15 minutes. No one wants to be the first team to allow a big play or be the first team to commit a turnover so I expect each club to play it close to the vest. Sam Madison is the only guy who may blow this one for us.

As for the game total, it?s my default setting to play ?under? in any game where the total is 50 points or below. Over the past three years there have been 25 games with a total posted at 50 or above and the ?under? is 18-6-1. We may miss here but the value is against the public, which expects a high-scoring affair or a New England blowout. The 'under' is 4-1 in New York's last five playoff games and 13-5-1 in New England's last 19 postseason outings. The total points should settle somewhere between 43-49 with a late score making it seem closer than it was.

NY Giants (+12) over New England - 3 units




Earl Morgan


NY Giants (+12) over New England - 3 units




The New York ?Road Warrior? Giants travel to Phoenix, Arizona this upcoming Sunday in a rematch of Week 17 versus the New England Patriots to compete for the ultimate prize, The Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl XLII (42).

The Giants have overcome many obstacles this season beginning with an 0-2 start, critics questioning the leadership and maturity of their QB Eli Manning who throughout the course of the season was at times inconsistent, and working in several rookies in and out of starting positions throughout the season.

With that being said, it truly is amazing that the Giants are representing the NFC in this years Super Bowl, in a place where they feel comfortable though, THE ROAD! The Giants are the first team in NFL history to win 10 straight road games within a single season, and number 11 would be even better. While many analysts point out ridiculous factors why a team is not playing well, such as the weather, no veteran leadership, etc, etc. This years Giants team is pretty easy to analyze as they finally learned how to play together as a team, more so, like one cohesive unit. Giants HC Tom Coughlin realized at the beginning of this season that he HAD to make some changes, as he was losing the respect of the team, therefore creating a ?Leadership Council? which simply provided a means of communication from the Head Coach down to the Council representatives, then down to the remaining players, and vice versa back to the head coach.

You can sit here and analyze all the X?s and O?s you want but in my opinion, the ONLY WAY a team gets to the Super Bowl is because obviously they are well coached, talented, etc, etc, but primarily because they RESPCECT one another, BELIEVE in one another, and ultimately TRUST one another. Again, it?s a big achievement especially for a young team comprised of many rookies, such as Giants are, because it takes time for a team to gel, and also to trust the primary TEAM PHILOSOPHY that the HC is trying to get across.

NEW ENGLAND on the other hand is going for their 19th straight win as we all know because this subject has been beaten to death this year, but the difference in New England?s squad is that they have many veterans leading the way, not to mention the fact that they not only believe in their teams philosophy, etc, but they are almost brainwashed it seems at times, they have played like a well oiled machine and every single player on the team, not only starters, but down to the 3rd stringers, are in sync. And I mean in SYNC! Its almost scary.

HERE IS THE BOTTOM LINE IN HANDICAPPING THIS GAME

New England played many games throughout the course of the season, as we all know , where they were DESTROYING their opponents, almost to the point where it was almost humorous. They were covering spreads of more than 20+ week in and week out. But just when you thought you knew this NE team, they turn around and play an entirely different gameplan in beating teams pretty handily by passing less and rushing for 100 yards or more in a game, where before they would only maybe attempt ten rushes. Many my not realize that NE has actually NOT COVERED in 7 of their last 8 games. Granted, part of the reason is due to obviously larger double digit spreads but still case in point is..

I will take my chances playing on a team (Giants) that has:
*#1 Pass rush in the NFL
*won 10 straight road games
*that after starting off season 0-2, finished up 10-6 , but as a wild card ran the playoff table winning @ Tampa Bay, @ Dallas, and @ Green Bay. That is almost impossible in itself. Not to mention the fact that Green Bay and Dallas just happen to be the same 2 teams that gave the giants their first 2 losses. (shows how giants have grown)
* and FINALLY?GETTING double digits to boot at +12, some actually may have +12.5 or +13 even better.

Again, nobody knows what New England is going to do. Just hope that they rush for over 100 yards. Yes, sounds crazy but that would almost guarantee a cover at +12, you don?t want Tom Brady coming out passing like crazy. I am aware that this New England team may be one of , if not, THE BEST team of all time, but that has little to do with the fact that I feel it will be a close competitive game.

TAKE GMEN + POINTS!!! Good Luck and Enjoy the Game!

JEFF BENTON

Lay the points with the Pistons against Dallas.

The gist of this play is this: If the Mavericks couldn?t put away the Celtics the other night in Boston when they didn?t have to deal with Kevin Garnett, how do they compete in this one against Detroit, which is fully healthy, has won four straight overall and has the second-best home record in the NBA (16-4)? Heck, not only did Dallas not have to face K.G. the other night, but it got 31 points, 11 rebounds and six assists from Dirk Nowitzki and 19 points and six boards from Josh Howard ? and still lost 96-90.
The reason for Dallas? lackluster effort in Beantown? I believe it?s got everything to do with the absence of point guard Devin Harris, who suffered an ankle injury last week and is out until at least the middle of the month. With Harris sidelined, guards Eddie Jones and Jason Terry combined for just 15 points vs. the Celtics while going 5-for-17 from the field and 1-for-9 from three-point land as they got thoroughly outplayed by Boston?s backcourt duo of Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen (30 points combined, 16-for-34 shooting).
Well, tonight, Jones and Terry have to deal with arguably the best backcourt tandem in the NBA in Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton, who went for 30 points and 10 assists in Detroit?s 90-89 win over the Lakers on Thursday. Good luck with that.
The Pistons come into this contest riding a four-game winning streak, they?re a sterling 5-1 ATS when playing on two days? rest this year and they?re 6-3 ATS in their last nine against the Mavericks. Of course, one of those non-covers came in a 16-point loss at Dallas a month ago, this after losing to the Mavs 92-88 at home last year (no Billups in that one). That means Detroit is in a double-revenge spot, too. Go ahead and lay the wood with the Pistons.

(based on a 1 to a 10 ♦ Rating)

JAKE TIMLIN

Sunday selection is the Super Bowl 2 Pt Conversion.

Keeping things fun and loose on Super Sunday I give a free prop bet that if successful will pay off big time. At +400 I like for there to be at least one successfully 2 point conversion. Helping with the possibly for a 2 point attempt might be due to a missed extra point or maybe one team kicking to many field goals early and thus needing 2 points late to stay in the game or it might just come when one side is looking to run the score up a bit. Either way it happens I do like a successful 2 points conversion to happen today and at a great return.



MATT RIVERS

For Sunday take NC State at home.
Trusting the Wolfpack is as easy as sticking your head in a meat grinder but I will take my chances here in Raleigh as Wake Forest is just not that good and on the road are the well inferior overall team.
Sidney Lowe's team is starting to turn into a disease if the outbreak has not already fully reared its head. For some reason NC State continues to leave me scratching my head. The 'Pack are a talented group that can shoot the ball and play some defense but yet just do not seem to want to play the game at times. In that last game we saw the total Jekyl and Hyde package come out as they led Duke on the road at the half by 9, when geting 18 and managed to still somehow not even cover the darn game!?!?!?!?
A few weeks ago State scored a whole 13 points in an absolutely repulsive first half in North Carolina and at the half ESPN analyst Jay Bilas may have said it best when saying how the players just seem to not really like each other. This may be the case as some things just don't make much sense otherwise but the talent is there with JJ Hickson, Gavin Grant, Courtney Fells, Brandon Costner and others and I therefore can't help but back the Pack in this spot at this number
Wake has had some success at home but for the most part are a young group that has not traveled all that well as being winless on the highway proves and should get fully outclassed here as hopefully the good NC State team shows up.



TONY WESTON

When the New England Patriots and New York Giants met in the preseason finale on Aug. 8 the teams combined for 47 points, hitting the over with a total set at 36 points.
When they met Dec. 29 in the regular season finale, they combined to score 73 points, well over the total of 46.5 points that was set.
Tonight, the teams will once again go over the total that is set, currently hovering around 54 and 54 1/2 points. That?s subject to change, but unless there is some dramatic change, it?ll stay close to that.
I?m telling you the teams will combine for at least 60 points.
Through the first eight weeks of the season the Patriots hit the over seven times. And through their first 12 games, they hit the over 10 times. The common thread there was the weather. Conditions weren?t too cold or windy and at times they were perfect, allowing the Pats more options offensively.
When things got a little colder, toward the end of December and through January, the Patriots were limited and became more of a run-first team. But once they ran into a team that was able to hang with them and go score-to-score with them, they were able to ignite the O once again ? that was in the season finale against the Giants.
Over each team?s last five games they?ve scored an average of at least 27 points. The Patriots have averaged 27.6 points per game, while the Giants have averaged 28.2. For you non-math majors, that?s a total of 55.8 points for the two combined.
The Patriots have been susceptible defensively, especially on the road, where they gave up an average of 21.3 points per game in eight games away from Foxboro this season. At home, New England?s defense was about a touchdown better, allowing only 13.5 points per game.
The Giants will take advantage of those holes in the Patriots defense and light up the scoreboard in a shootout that will definitely go over the total.

Take the over.

4♦ SUPER BOWL TOTAL - OVER (1♦ to 5♦ Scale)



Joel Tyson

Lets take the points today when the Mavericks visit the Detroit Pistons.
Both teams enter as two of the top in the NBA sitting with almost identical marks on the year as Dallas finds themselves at 31-14, and Detroit is the holder of a 33-13 record.
Dallas crushed this Piston team back in January when the two got together in Dallas 102.86. This will be the Mavericks third game of their recent road trip, and they will look to avenge their loss last time out to the Boston Celtics, that snapped a four game win streak by the Mavs.
Detroit has now put together four straight victories as they head into today's game after they had lost three straight, before this current run.
Dallas and Detroit both are currently averaging around the century mark over the last five games, and both are allowing the opposition around 93 ppg.
This one will be close and there fore the play is the Mavericks.

3♦ MAVERICKS



Bobby Maxwell


The Mavs come in off a 96-90 road loss in Boston, even though the Celtics were without star Kevin Garnett. Dallas is just 2-5-2 ATS in the last nine games.
The Pistons were a covering machine earlier in the season when they rattled off an 18-1-1 ATS mark, but they have managed just a 4-9 ATS streak since that amazing start. They failed to cover at home against the Lakers Thursday, beating Los Angeles 90-89 as 8 1/2-point chalk.
Detroit is 6-3 ATS in the last nine outings against the Mavericks and the home team has come out on top in four of the last five.
Dallas is just 9-13 ATS this season and just 2-4 ATS in the last six on the highway. Detroit is 16-4 at home and 13-7 ATS, plus 8-3 ATS in the last 11. And put the Mavs against good teams and they are just 3-12 against teams with a winning home record.
Detroit at home gets this one in a laugher.

4♦ DETROIT



Chuck Franklin

The Mavericks haven't swept the Pistons in the same season for five years. Detroit will get revenge for the 16-point loss it suffered at Dallas in early January. The Pistons have won four in a row and the Mavs are coming off a road loss to the Celtics on Thursday.
Dallas is only 11-11 on the road this season. They have covered the spread only three times in the last 15 road games against a team that has a winning record at home. Detroit is 16-4 at the Palace of Auburn Hills, holding opponents to just 87 points per game. They are 9-3 ATS the last 12 home games.
This will be a double-digit Pistons win!
