After a long hard fought season, it will be the New England Patriots and the New York Giants in Super Bowl 46. The Giants ruined the Patriots perfect season in Super Bowl XLII. There is no perfect season for the Patriots this time around, but the Giants are still listed as the underdog.
While many are questioning the New England Patriots’ performance against the Baltimore Ravens in last weekend’s AFC Championship game, I fail to see the comparison of one lousy game by Tom Brady equating to a New York Giants upset win in Super bowl XLVI.
Heading in to the regular season this week five matchup between the New York Jets and New England Patriots was circled as a possible AFC Championship preview, with these two division rivals among the favorites to represent the conference in the Super Bowl.
The New England Patriots will look for redemption as they host the 10 point underdog New York Jets at 4:15 PM ET at Gillette Stadium in an AFC East showdown.
NFL Betting Odds:
New York Jets +10
New England Patriots -10
O/U 45
The Patriots have heard more about the controversial 4th and 2 call by Bill Belichick from last week’s loss 35-34 against the Colts than from about any of their Superbowl wins.
The New York Jets (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS) are angling for a playoff spot, whether it be through the wild card route or the division title, behind their new field leader, Brett Favre. On Thursday night they take on the New England Patriots (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS), who are hanging in there with backup quarterback Matt Cassel, as these two AFC East teams tangle in NFL pro football sports betting action that is set to begin at 8:15 PM ET at Gillette Stadium (artificial turf) in Foxboro, MA.
