Beating the House -- Super Bowl Sunday


I don't know about you guys but two weeks is much too long to wait for the big game...in my last column (see below), I said that Championship Sunday is usually more enjoyable than the Super Bowl because you often get two close games that are fun to watch...naturally, I went against that logic and went with the favorites and we all know how that turned out...so here we go, one game left to play...if I wagered on the Pro Bowl, I would attend Gamblers Anonymous immediately...also, congratulations to Larry Yocum on his move to rototimes...he will be missed.


New York Giants (+12) at New England -- The quest for perfection ends today, one way or another...does anyone think that the Pats will be denied after coming this far? The Giants played them tough in Week 17 only to see an 11-point lead vanish before their eyes...the Pats will win but have only covered one of their last eight games and all three of the titles have been won by a FG...however, this team is superior to past winners and far better than the GMen...I'm going to bite the bullet and say the Pats end their perfect season the way they opened it...by overwhelming their opponent in every phase of the game...Patriots 38 New York Giants 17.
