Nice, RJ. Good creds. I had NE at least -6.5 What do you think?
USA Today features Pregame.com Super Bowl odds and a few of my early stats: http://usat.ly/AhJ84r
RAW NUMBERS DERIVED FROM SITUATIONAL STATS:
NY GIANTS-24.19 N.E. PATRIOTS-27.96
RAW NUMBERS DERIVED FROM TOTAL YARDS FOR AND AGAINST DIVIDED BY YARDS PER POINT FOR AND AGAINST;
NY GIANTS-22.6 N.E. PATRIOTS-27.31
This is the Pats worst nightmare if you ask me I haven't made up my mind on the game but people saying pats by 6.5 are just crazy. I think 3 is ok but NE isn't at home anymore. NY knows they can win and sometimes it comes down to a certain team just matches up better.
