Super Bowl XLII is nigh! And with all the pundits crowning New England the greatest team of all time, it seems a foregone conclusion that Patriots coach Bill Belichick will polish yet another Lombardi trophy with the sleeves of his cut-off hoody. But we bettors care not for trivial frivolities like “who wins”. And while the Pats are 12.5 point favorites and vastly superior in most facets, they’re only 1-8 against the spread in their last nine games. Still, it’s hard to bank on a wild card qualifier from the feeble NFC. Especially with New England looking to make history with a perfect record.
Fans, I’ve gotta level with you. Truth be told, this one’s vexing even to me. If you pick this one correctly, well congratulations, you got lucky! I mean the wagering is the hardest part. Bet the farm on this one and watch your dreams go runnin’ down a drain!
But before you say I’m giving up. . . STOP! I am not on the verge of a breakdown. . . it’s alright! All I’m saying is come this Sunday, the safest bet is that you will thoroughly enjoy the Bridgestone Halftime Show© sponsored by Bridgestone©, featuring Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. I’m predicting a tight four song set made up exclusively of hits. The time constraints and wide-ranging audience will preclude this AOR radio fossil from digging up any deep cuts. The biggest hits during this game will be delivered by Petty’s team. I’m gonna go with:
Aw hell, I’m feeling so good about these picks I’ve gotta cast my trepidation aside and make a call on the game itself! After all, you need to know, and as the Foremost Expert in Sports Handicapping, I better say so! I am the Odds Conquistador and I say damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead! Take the Giants and the points! The key will be their running game. Those Traveling Pilsbury’s on New England’s defensive line will course the entire field in pursuit of New York’s formidable backfield combo of Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw. The Giants will cover.
