The New York Giants and New England Patriots square off on Sunday in a rematch of Super Bowl XLII. Back on the first Sunday of February 2008, the Giants shocked the world when they upended the seemingly-invincible Patriots 17-14 and stumped their attempt at a perfect season.
While all of the talk about Super Bowl XLV has been about the top-ranked defenses of both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers, the one factor that few have talked enough about is the role that experience will play in the game.
It’s improbable, but it’s true: For the second straight NFL postseason, the New York Jets – stumbling into the playoffs instead of roaring into them – have turned into a hard-charging defensive force.
It’s another season tiebreaker between fierce divisional rivals as the AFC playoffs enter their second weekend of competition. While Baltimore and Pittsburgh play a third game in the AFC North, the Jets and Patriots will go at it to decide bragging rights – and a spot in the AFC title game – in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
With a pair of three-point underdogs on the board on Sunday, we have an excellent opportunity o play with the betting lines by using a teaser. With an additional seven points in a teaser, we can get both Sunday underdogs at double-digit spreads and that’s ideal considering we’re expecting two close games.
