NFL Super Bowl Betting – New England vs. New York Free Picks
Superbowl Event – Stats – Betting – Handicapping and football guide from CappersPicks.com.
Well, after nearly five months of football, the biggest and most important game of the season is finally here.
That’s right BetUS.com NFL bettors, Super Bowl XXLII is finally here and the good news for bettors is that, after suffering through an absolutely mediocre ATS season, I have been on absolute fire since the start of the postseason, going a solid 7-1-1 ATS in my postseason selections, with several excellent picks the way, like the New York Giants’ outright victories over the Dallas Cowboys in their NFC Divisional showdown, followed by their Green Bay Packers in their NFC Championship tilt on Jan. 13 despite the majority of my handicapping brethren going with the Pack to win outright if not necessarily covering the 7.5-point spread that day.
Now, no one really cares abut past picks – unless they can help in the future that is.
With that in mind, I will once again – for the final time this NFL postseason – put BetUS.com’s beloved NFL bettors on the right path to a winning wager with my 2008 Super Bowl selection.
Since the game is quickly approaching, I’ll cut the chit-chat short and get right to the point.
Now, a lot of people may want to throw out of lot of meaningless statistics heading into this contest, but for me, this pick is extremely simple.
Looking at both teams and their recent performances, (including their hook up in their regular season finale), and I think it’s easy to come to the conclusion that, not only will the New York Giants, (13-6 SU, 13-6 ATS, 9-10 O/U) cover the 11½-point spread in this contest, but that they could actually beat the vaunted New England Patriots, (18-0 SU, 10-8 ATS, 11-6-1 O/U) outright.
Heck, I’ll go on record right now and say that if Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has a similar game to the 21-for-33, 209-yard, two-touchdown, three-interception performance he unleashed on the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Championship game, that the Patriots will undeniably lose their first Super Bowl under Bill Belichick.
While the same could very well be said for Giants quarterback Eli Manning, the fact of the matter is that Manning and the Giants are playing their best football of the season coming into this contest while the Patriots looked invincible in the regular season’s early going but have shown more chinks in their armor down the stretch than at any time this season.
Once again, without getting into meaningless statistics, I believe this game will boil down to one crucial factor – winning the turnover battle.
I fully believe that, had the Chargers been able to capitalize on the Patriots’ many mistakes two weeks ago, they, and not the Patriots would be playing in this Super Bowl.
However, with injuries to quarterback Philip Rivers, league-leading rusher LaDainian Tomlinson and all-pro tight end Antonio Gates, the Chargers’ offense was a shell of itself as they were forced into field goal after field goal in losing 21-12 to the Patriots.
Here is a look at the game’s Key Trends, followed by my NFL Superbowl Free Pick.
Key Giants Trends
The Giants are 5-0 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
The Giants are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games on grass.

Analysis: I know the Patriots have won three Super Bowl titles under Belichick, but I am genuinely amazed that the point spread for this contest is as high as it is, especially considering the stellar brand of football the Giants have displayed over the last five weeks. While I certainly respect the Patriots and their accomplishments, I am certain the Giants will cover the spread – unless Eli Manning reverts back into his old, inconsistent self and throws two or three interceptions. Since Manning has legitimately looked like a quarterback that can lead his team to a Super Bowl title I his last four games, I see no reason to think he’ll come up with a stinker in this game. Take the Giants and the points NFL bettors and you’ll be happy you followed my sound advice once again. And hey, if you feel the need to share your winnings with me, that’s okay too.
