 Vegas 2012 Super Bowl XLVI odds at various sportsbooks are predicting that Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will get their revenge this year against Eli Manning and the New York Giants for a 14-17 loss in XLII to end their perfect season at 18-1. Although the Pats are not undefeated this season, they have played a season that is worthy of a championship having won ten straight games and going 13-3 overall this year. Big Blue on the other hand, finished the regular season with a shaky 9-7 mark but have since won three straight games in the playoffs including 2-of-3 on the road earning the right to play for their fourth championship trophy. Giants vs Patriots odds in Vegas have listed New England as 3-point favorites with an NFL betting total set at 55.5. The MGM Mirage is currently the only book that is carrying the Pats at -2.5 while the Hilton is carrying the total at 54.5. The moneyline also slightly favors New England at -145 while New York would return +125 on a $100 bet for the game that can be seen live on NBC beginning at 6:30pm EST from Lucas Oil Stadium on February 5th. The Pats have been here before as nearly two touchdown favorites in the 2007 edition of the big game but allowed 14-fourth quarter points to give the eventual MVP winning quarterback Eli Manning and the Giants their first championship since the 1990 season. Vegas 2012 Super Bowl XLVI odds makers seem to be expecting a repeat performance of that title game as the point spread still favors the Pats to hoist the Lombardi trophy but this time around, it's only by a field goal. Tom Brady threw for 4,806-yards with 50-touchdowns for the highest quarterback rating of his career at 117.2 during the 2007 championship run but fell short when it mattered most. Despite having three rings in his collection already; can Brady who threw for 5,235-yards, 39-touchdowns and a QB rating of 105.6 this season right the wrongs of the past? Giants vs Patriots odds and handicapping trends have New England recently going 1-1 against the spread as a betting favorite in the playoffs and a worrisome 1-5 ATS in the last six match-ups against New York. The G-Men were listed as 22/1 longshots to win in Vegas 2012 Super Bowl XLVI odds to win and played as such for most of the year but with a little luck, still found a way into the playoffs with a 9-7 overall record. Since that time however, head coach Tom Coughlin turned the attitude of the team around starting with a 24-2 drubbing of the Atlanta Falcons in the wild card round. New York went on to silence the cheeseheads in Green Bay with a 37-20 road win against the Packers in the divisional round and then stunned the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park with 20-17 overtime win for the conference title. In contrast to Brady, Giants QB Eli Manning threw for only 3,336-yards and 23-touchdowns for a rating of 73.9 during the 2007 championship season and has played even better this year throwing 4,933-yards for 29-touchdowns and a rating of 92.9. While the offensive side of the ball will be quarterback dual once again, the title will more than likely be decided by the defenses which New York has the edge holding opponents to only 13-points per game in the playoffs. Giants vs Patriots odds in Vegas have Big Blue as 3-point underdogs despite going 3-0 ATS in the postseason this year and recently going 5-1 ATS vs New England. 2012 Super Bowl XLVI Predictions: Giants +3 New York Giants vs New England Patriots |
