Super Bowl XLVI Betting Lines Giants vs Patriots

Big Blue Has The Better Overall Defense

A lot of talk leading up to Super Bowl XLVI has focused on the Giants offense and the 28.7 points per game they have posted over their recent 6-1 winning streak. Since a thrilling 37-34 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14, the Giants defense has not allowed more than two touchdowns in any game. In a span of six games, the G-Men have held their opponents to 12.8 points per game.

Two Amigos – Plus One: The Giants Wide Receivers

New York has been flying high with speedy receivers Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks. This dynamic dual has accounted for 74 receptions, 1,371 receiving yards, along with seven touchdowns, over their last seven games. The Plus One is unheralded WR Mario Manningham. Acting more as a slot, possession type receiver, Manningham has TD catch in three straight games. If the Patriots over compensate with their coverage of the Two Amigos – the Plus One can burn them.

Threat Out Of The Backfield – Power Back Dual

Playing with nicks and bruises all season, the Giants backfield has only been together as a unit since about Week 13. Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs are not the fastest guys in the NFL but they can both take the punishment that comes with running between the tackles. Since Week 13, the Bradshaw/Jacobs combo has produced 978 total yards and eight touchdowns. When the Patriots overload to stop the pass, either of these backs can hit pay dirt up the middle.

Confidence From A Tough Schedule

New York has played teams with a combined 82-46 record over the past eight weeks. By contrast, the Patriots have played teams with a 55-70 record over the same time period. The Giants had quality games against the Packers (15-1) twice, along with the 49ers (13-3) and the Falcons (10-6) once each, over the last eight weeks. Prior to the AFC Championship battle with Baltimore Ravens, New England had not played a team with a winning record since they lost 25-17 to the Steelers during NFL Week 8 action.

Been There – Done That – Do It Again?

Much like the Green Bay Packers last season, the Giants have been in playoff mode since Week 16 and they have won five straight contests. One more win by the G-Men and we have back-to-back Super Bowl Champs that will have needed to win four games to grab the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

New York also needed four to win four games to take down Super Bowl XLII as they defeated the Buccaneers, Cowboys, and Packers, before shocking the 18-0 Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl.

Kickoff for Super Bowl XLVI is slated for 6:29 PM ET on Sunday, February 5, 2012, from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN. Get in on the betting excitement with the Bookmaker.com Sportsbook!
