Superbowl XLVI: New York Giants vs. New England Patriots[Video]

Both my teams won.  I picked New England Patriots to take the Baltimore Ravens to win the  AFC Championship and they did by a score of 23-20.  And, then sweet on the New York Giants because of Eli Manning,  I was happy they won the NFC  in an overtime thriller, 20-17 with a last minute field goal.

The Patriots with their incredible winning record are the three-point favorite to win Superbowl XLVI.  But,  I'm pulling for the Giants.  I like the Archie Manning connection with the New Orleans Saints.

In 2008, an undefeated New England team was favored by 12 points over Eli Manning and the Giants. New York, of course, went on to win that game in one of the greatest upsets in Super Bowl history.

The three-point opening spread is identical to last year's, in which the Green Bay Packers were slight favorites over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Overall, favorites have won six of the last eight Super Bowls outright and 33 of 45 overall. Throughout history, favorites are 26-16-3 against the spread.

The biggest spread in Super Bowl history came in 1996 when the 49ers were 18.5-point favorites over the San Diego Chargers.  The smallest spread was in Super Bowl V. The Dallas Cowboys were favored over the Baltimore Colts by one point.
Enjoy the last few minutes of the Giants big AFC win over the 49ers with a last minute field goal.
