2008 Super Bowl XLII - Team to win the coin toss

New York Giants
-105

New England Patriots
-105

Giants +11.5 - I typed the Giants... deleted it typed the Pats... now I'm back to the Giants to cover but I don't think they win. if the Giants were a passing team the pats would find a way to throw off Eli, BUT the Pats haven't stopped the run effectively in any of the last 6 or 7 games I've watched (I didn't watch last week in a hatred of the Packers related NFL boycott)
The Over
1st TD - Laurence Maroney (NE)
MVP - Laurence Maroney (NE) (why are the odds so long on Brady and so short on Welker?)
Heads to the Pats

Nice. It will be interesting to see how people do that actually respond.

I'll put all my wagers down in this thread after I bet my real $$$, later in the week.

I agree with Pants on the Giants +11 1/2 as well as Maroney for MVP. I think Ben Watson will score the first TD.

I don't know which Pats team will show up, so the only bet I'm really comfortable with is the Over. The rest of this stuff I feel shaky on...

If I was forced to choose, I'd pick the Giants to cover. I think they'll lose by 7 to 9 points.

Kevin Faulk gets first TD, Brady is your MVP.

Here are my bets, some of which I actually made today:


Over 53.5
Parlay: Giants + 12 and Over 53.5
Coin Toss: Heads
First TD: I like Ben Watson here
MVP: Brady... maybe Welker. Probably Brady
