NFL Betting Preview For Giants Patriots On Saturday - 12-27-07
December 27 - The New England Patriots are playing for a perfect 16-0 regular season but are more concerned about staying healthy and winning the Super Bowl. The New York Giants have locked up a coveted playoff spot and will also want to avoid injury at any cost. So where will all the money go for this NFL betting bonanza on Saturday?
The odds for this game suggest that the perfect season is a given as the Pats are at home and installed as whopping 14.5 point favorites. This season their games have resembled College Football lines with the highest point spreads in the history of the NFL. If you want to rate this team in a historical context against all the other great teams that have played Pro Football then the betting is the best guide. This is the best regular season team to ever play in the NFL. No question about it.
But the Giants are no ATS pushovers in this spot. They're likely to lose straight up but can they cover the spread? They've played very well on the road and the Patriots will almost certainly pull their starters once they've got the lead.
There is some value in taking New York but ultimately it is very hard to bet against New England when they are at home and playing for a 16-0 record. We'll put our money on the Patriots!
