ATS: New England Patriots -3 (100)
LOSS for -5 unit(s)

New York Giants at New England Patriots

5* Super Bowl *BEST BET* on Patriots -3 (recommend buy to -2.5)
This game is all about revenge. The Giants spoiled New England's perfect season 4 years ago, and the Pats want payback.

A 24-20 loss to the Giants on Nov. 6 (it is worth noting the Pats outgained the G-Men by 77 yards in that contest) must have brought back bad memories of their Super Bowl defeat because New England has been on a tear since.

The Patriots have won 10 straight since that game by an average of 16.1 points and all of those wins have come by at least 3 points.

There's no way I would make a revenge play without good reason, and there's plenty of good reason in this case.

Under Belichick, New England is 17-3 ATS when out for revenge for an upset loss to an opponent. If the Pats were favored by 7 points or more, this trend tightens up to a perfect 6-0 ATS with an average winning margin of 16.0 points.

New York scored with 15 seconds left to win the regular season meeting. Otherwise, the Patriots would have won by 3 points despite 4 turnovers. I'm confident New England will do a better job of taking care of the football this time around and will have its revenge as a result.

5* Wild Card Game of the Year on Broncos +9 Winning on the road isn't easy in the playoffs. We saw both home teams win impressively in Saturday's Wild Card games, and I expect home field to provide an edge for Denver here. Denver's home field has already given it an edge considering ... read more

4* NFC Wild Card SMASH on Giants -3 The Giants have basically been playing playoff games for close to a month, and that will serve them well against an Atlanta squad that hasn't won in the playoffs with Matt Ryan and typically hasn't fared as well on the road. It was the pass ... read more
