For the New York Giants and New England Patriots it has been a season of endings.
- The two teams ended the preseason playing each other. The Patriots won that contest 27 to 20.
- The two teams ended the regular season playing each other. That game was a 38 to 35 victory for the Patriots. It was also the most points scored against the Patriots all season.
- The two teams will end the playoffs together in the Super Bowl completing the symmetry.
Given the history between these two teams the latest line on the game (Patriots favored by 12) makes no sense at all. If you are a betting person take the Giants and the points. It should also be remembered that the Patriots have a history of winning Super Bowls by 3 points.
Super Bowl XLII will be won by 7 points or less…
