I just dont see any value on either side.

The PATS could cover the game easily, but the Giants can also make it close.

I may look into a few props just for fun. But thats it.


How many of you can honestly say you would bet this game if it was not the SuperBowl?

Im going to bet tails +100 because there was a story that said that the weight of the coin on the heads side is more heavy on the coin that causes the coin to land on tails 52% of the time.

This is a true story.

1. I don't see any value on this game either, I almost bet Giants +13 when it first came out, but now I'm glad I didn't because I could just as easily see the pats winning by 3 touchdowns as I could see the giants winning by 1. I leaned on the under but I've decided to lay off of that one as well, just a few props for me to keep the game interesting.

2. I have heard about the coin being slightly favoring tails, I thought it was closer to 50.02% than to 52% and I don't know whether it was an urban legend or not since I never saw any raw data to show it one way or another. I had heard that this only applied to U.S. quarters before they started coming out with these newfangled things honoring the states, and that the new ones were much closer to being 50-50. That being said, you can't go wrong with a +100 bet on something like that, at worst the EV is 0.

they use special commemorative coins for this though which have who knows what printed on the front and back.

maybe call the NFL ask them to FedEx you a copy of the coin they are using then flip it 10,000 times and tell us what happens. otherwise, you are just flipping a coin with this bet so to speak

Go golfing,skiing or something you don't like doing on the weekends because of the crowds.

Personaly I don't like super sunday as there is some morning hoops and then nothing but hype.

As bad as xmas eve nothing going on.

Then once the game finally starts it takes 4 hours with commercials and extended 1/2 time.

But Chop, couldn't you say that for any SB? Look at how many people got buried on SBIII when they felt really GOOD about the Colts vs. the Jets. We've all lost a game or two that we've felt really strong on and it wound up losing. Just go against the public and see how it works for this game. Problem solved!

The unimpressive show New England has shown in the last month and a half = NYG +14 1/2 for me
