NEW YORK GIANTS +3 OVER NEW ENGLAND (54) – Well, the day is here and even though I thought I was ready for this two weeks ago, well..I’m not quite there with 20 hours left before the game. First of all, I thought that the line was off by about 5-6 points. I thought the Giants should be the favorites in the game. The fact that the Giants have been bet up a bit and the majority of the money is on the Giants, I’m not convinced that this is what is going to happen. First of all, I’m a conspiracy theorist. I am afraid of the ghost of Myra Kraft. I think that it would make a GREAT present for owner Robert Kraft and indeed would make for a “good feeling” kind of win for the Pats. Also, the Pats haven’t won a Super Bowl in quite a while. Belichick is due. Brady is due. The Giants are on a big roll but so are the Pats. The Patriots have won 10 in a row, the Giants just 6. The Giants are extremely healthy. But so are the Pats. I’m still not sure if Tom Brady has a completely healthy throwing shoulder. Gronkowski has a high ankle sprain but there’s no doubt he’ll be in the game tomorrow. He’s a fast healer anyway. That is documented.

The total is 54 points. Most people would probably take the over here because it is the Super Bowl and scoring is a good thing, right? Both offenses are strong and have great receivers and a great quarterbacks. However, I think that both of the defenses will be playing better than usual because the offenses haven’t been on the field in two weeks. Personally, I’m taking the under. Is it smart? Who knows? But one thing is for sure. The more tackles and better the defense, the better I’ll feel late in the game if I have the under. I really do feel that both defenses are on top of their games right now. The Pats didn’t look all that good two weeks ago in a game they should have lost to the Ravens. The Giants looked late in the game like they might not even get a chance to win the game their last several possessions as the 49ers defense was putting a lot of pressure on Eli and stopping the G-men dead in their tracks. Only the turnover in overtime saved the Giants and put them on a plane to Indianapolis. This being said, how would a low scoring game come to pass? How would it play out? The game is indoors and that doesn’t play well for the Giants. They’ve played two games inside all season long. A 49-24 thrashing at the hands of Offensive Player of the Year Drew Brees in the Superdome. They came back and beat the Cowboys in Dallas in the spaceship, but it was a very close game. Now they look to keep a string of victories in tact with a win Sunday. This game is such a close game to handicap, it’s almost impossible. Some would say it’s a flip of the coin. Personally, I think that Giants are the value here with the +3, but it seems that all the “experts” are picking the G-men, yours truly included. That SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME! Sunday, I’ll share everything with all my listeners.

HOT TOPICS FOR SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

GRONKOWSKI – Gonna play 80% of the time the Pats O lines up in double tight end formation. He was walking today without a limp. Not a good sign for the G-men. Also, EVERYONE is healthy on both sides. For those of you out there that think two weeks is too long, this is the one GREAT benefit (besides fans booking rooms and hotels) of waiting two weeks. Always loved two weeks. One week almost killed me. (story there)

BREAKDOWN OF GIANTS AND PATS SEASONS – Pats more consistent, always seemed to be searching for defense with injuries and missing parts. Best job of bouncing practice players in and out in the league. Typical Belichick season. Also, use of TE’s sets a new NFL record by far for receiving yards by TE’s.

Giants 4 losses in the middle of the season not a hiccup. 4 TOUGH GAMES!! Came back with great veteran awareness of the situation and starting WINNING games. COUGHLIN HAVING A MVP YEAR AS A COACH. ELI HAVING AN ALL-TIME BEST YEAR. GIANTS DEFENSE COMING ON STRONG LATE IN THE SEASON.

GIANTS STOPPED TURNING THE BALL OVER LATER IN THE SEASON. IMPROVED DEFENSE WITH HEALTH AND MORE MAN TO MAN DEFENSE. RUSHING 4 DEFENDERS IS HOW THE GIANTS WIN BALL GAMES.

GREAT STORIES ABOUT DEVIN THOMAS, FORMER REDSKINS 3RD ROUND PICK NOW A “GUNNER” FOR THE GIANTS ON SPECIAL TEAMS. MADE TWO BIG PLAYS AGAINST 49ERS THAT GAVE THEM THE WIN. STARRING IN TV SIT-COMS AND BET SPECIALS. GOOD FOR HIM.

VICTOR CRUZ’S LINE OF CLOTHING IS HITTING IT BIG TIME. HE’LL PROBABLY NEED TO TAKE ON INVESTORS SO HE CAN EXPAND HIS LINE AND BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND OF BUYERS.

BRANDON JACOBS SAYS THAT PLAXICO BURRESS HAS SAID HE WISHED HE HAD SIGNED WITH THE GIANTS INSTEAD OF THE JETS. YA THINK??? PLAX LOOKING AND SAYING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS, INCLUDING NOT BASHING ELI.

WES WELKER STORY. HARD TO BELIEVE HE WAS NOT DRAFTED BY ANYONE. KYLE ARRINGTON, THEIR TOP CB WASN’T DRAFTED. PRO BROWL OL BRIAN WATERS WASN’T DRAFTED AND WAS CUT BY K.C. IN 2010.

ANTREL ROLLLE – TOO MUCH TALK? GOOD THING TO TALK ABOUT. GIANTS MAY BE TALKING JUST ENOUGH OR TOO MUCH. GREAT CONVERSATION PIECE FOR SURE. ROLLE DEFINITELY PLAYING WELL AND CONFIDENT.

AHMAD BRADSHAW’S FOOT – IS HE GOING TO BE OK FOR THIS GAME? WILL AN EARLY GAME INJURY TO HIS FOOT BE ENOUGH TO THROW OFF THE GIANTS OFFENSIVE GAME PLAN. CAN THEY RECOVER? HARD TO SAY.

OSI YUMENIORA’S 20K FINE – DISTRACTION OR JUST A BIG MISTAKE. OSI SAYS IT WAS BECAUSE HE WAS PICKING UP FAMILLY AT AIRPORT. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THE REAL BILL BELICHICK – EARLY STORIES OF HIS LACROSSE PLAYING AT WESLEYAN COLLEGE IN CONNECTICUT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE MAN.

COLST IRSAY-MANNING SOAP OPERA – WHEN WILL IT EVER END? SOON PEYTON HOPES.

PERRY FEWELL DC OF THE GIANTS AND A LOOK AT HIM AND HIS PAST AND FUTURE. WHAT DID FEWELL DO TO TURN AROUND THIS GIANTS DEFENSE? HE’S A 25 YEARS COACHING VETERAN WITH 13 YEARS BEING AN NFL COACH. COACHED DB’S FOR COUGHLIN IN JACKSONVILLE. WAS INTERIM COACH IN BUFFALO IN 2009-2010 BEFORE LOSING HIS JOB. BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE GIANTS.

NEW ENGLAND RUNNING GAME – IS IT UNDERRATED? PROBABLY AND IN MY OPINION WILL BE THE KEY TO THE ENTIRE GAME, NOT THE PASSING GAME. GIANTS RUNNING GAME THE SAME. WE KNOW THEY’LL BE ABLE TO MOVE THE FOOTBALL IN THE AIR, WHAT ABOUT THE RUN?

THE NFL AND THE OFFICIATING – WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON SUNDAY? OFFICIALS CAN’T AFFORD TO HAVE A BAD GAME. IF THEY DO, IT WILL OPEN UP SPECULATION BY CONSPIRACY THEORISTS. HEY…..LET THEM PLAY.

BENJARVUS GREEN-ELLIS (LAW FIRM) – IS THE FIRM THE KEY TO THE GAME? I THINK SO…AND I THINK THE GIANTS DEFENSE KNOWS THIS TOO. FEWELL HAS HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS LIMITING YARDS THROUGH THE AIR, BUT HE KNOWS HIS WEAK SPOT IS STOPPING THE RUN WITH THAT FRONT 4.

CAM NEWTON NFL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR – COMMENTS, WHO HE BEAT OUT? WHO WILL BE NEXT YEAR’S ROY????
