NFL championships are won by teams with momentum not the best numbers overall. It pains me to admit the Giant's are likely to win this game but only a fool would ignore how the Giant's have looked these last few weeks despite the Pats winning 10 in a row they have not beaten many solid teams.
This line will continue to fall until it's very close to a push by game time. Remember the sole objective of the line is to split the play and create a 50/50 financial interest in the game. It will be harder to sustain New England's play as we get closer to Feb. 5th.
If for one, the Pats continue to trot out WR Julian Edelman and guys from the Raider's practice squad to play DB for them the Giant's will have a field day through the air on deep balls especially to guys like Cruz who gets up like no Pats DB.
Sadly this could look more like 1986, Bears-Pats 46-10 than one of the late game Brady/Vinatieri miracles.
Maybe the best idea is to accept the likely outcome here and try to make a few bucks on the money line while on vacation in Cancun. The line at kickoff will be closer to a "pick" than -3 IMO.....

that being said....the jints needed 2 special teams blunders by the same mook, to squeak out an OT win over the terrble 49ers with Alex Smith. This is Tom Brady.....we can't cover, but you guys can't cover either, plus you're slow....real slow....Pats win. Someone will always be open. Gronk, Hernandez Branch or Welker. y'all can't cover all of them. Benny Green-Ellis will also run it down the giants gizzard most of the day.
