2012 Super Bowl Predictions: 3 Reasons Why The Giants Will Win Super Bowl 46

January 27, 2012 By Uncle Jay 2 Comments

It will be the New York Giants vs. the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN on Sunday, February 5th, 2012 in a rematch of Super Bowl XLII when the Giants shocked the then 18-0 Patriots 17-14 as 13-point underdogs.

The line is nowhere near that high this time with the Patriots currently at -3 +110, as the Giants have been bet down from the opener of New England -3 -125. However, we do see the end result being the same as four years ago, as well as a Giants’ win in New England this season, and here are three reasons why.

ODDS: OPEN: PATRIOTS -3.5 | CURRENT: PATRIOTS -3 | O/U: 55


1. Giants ability to put pressure on Tom Brady: It is no secret that the best way to beat elite quarterbacks is to bring pressure on them up the middle, and the Giants have one of the best defensive lines in football when they are fully healthy, which they are now. The Giants were able to beat Brady up in the last two meetings, and we are not only talking about sacks as Brady also had countless hurries and he simply did not look comfortable vs. a defense not afraid to hit him even after he threw the ball.

The Giants have had the most impressive defense in the playoffs this year and they are tied for the most sacks during this post-season with nine. In other words, they again figure to make Brady’s life a living hell here. And the best thing of all is that the Giants can bring that pressure without blitzing, which should limit Brady’s options downfield when he is hurried.

2. Eli Manning vs. 31st ranked Patriots pass defense: Eli Manning was quoted as saying that he was an elite quarterback before the season, and while many scoffed at that, he has certainly backed those words up this year; especially in the playoffs. It certainly helps that Manning has a great receiving corps at his disposal, as he has two receivers in Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz that would be go-to guys on most teams and a third in Mario Manningham that would be a 1A or a two on many others.

That trio would be tough to defend even for good defenses, and the New England defense ranked 31st out of 32 NFL teams in both total defense and passing defense this season. Things have gotten so bad in the Patriots’ defensive backfield that they have resorted to using wide receiver Julian Edelman back there in recent weeks.

3. Giants can run effectively to set up the pass: Now the Giants finished dead last in the NFL during the regular season in both rushing yards per game and in yards per rush, but they have improved greatly now that Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs are both healthy at the same time, which they almost never were during the regular season.

The Giants are averaging 117.3 rushing yards per game on a nice 4.2 yards per rush during the playoffs and the Patriots have not been all that solid vs. the run either this year, allowing 4.5 yards per carry. Thus, the Giants should be able to run well enough to stay out of third-and-long situations and to keep the Patriots’ defense honest.

2 Reasons Why The Ravens Will Upset The Patriots And Advance To Super Bowl XLVI

January 20, 2012 By Uncle Jay Leave a Comment

The New England Patriots just toyed with Denver in the Divisional Playoffs as their offense looked unstoppable while running the no-huddle like it usually does, and the end result was a 45-10 shellacking.


Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens were rather fortunate to get by the Texans 20-13 as they took advantage of four Houston turnovers and were actually outgained in the game by 88 yards. Ray Rice rushed for only 60 yards on 21 carries and Joe Flacco looked lost at times while completing only 14-of-27 passes for just 176 yards.


Surely then, the Patriots are the obvious selection favored by only (-7½) in the AFC Championship Game, right? Well…



ODDS: OPEN: PATRIOTS -7 | CURRENT: PATRIOTS -7.5 | O/U: 50.5


Ravens Defense Will Shut Down 1 Dimensional Patriots: Just about the only way to beat the elite quarterbacks of the NFL is by applying constant pressure on them up the middle, preferably without the need to blitz any safeties. For proof, look no further than the last two New England losses this season, first at Pittsburgh and then here at home vs. the Giants, as those two teams were able to do just what we described. Well, the Ravens seem fully equipped to use that approach with their great defensive line, and remember that Baltimore tied for third in the NFL in sacks during the season with 48.

The Ravens are very physical and will punish opponents at every opportunity, and thus also finished third in the NFL in forced fumbles with 21. Given that The Patriots have no real running game to speak of, Baltimore can put all of its efforts into stopping Brady and beating up his receivers, which cannot be a pleasant feeling. Don’t forget that the last two times these clubs have met, the Patriots had to rally late in the fourth quarter to tie the game last season before winning 23-20 in overtime and the Ravens easily knocked the Pats out of the playoffs two years ago 33-14, and both of those games were here in Foxboro.



PATRIOTS vs. RAVENS Expert Picks | Who is the public betting on?



Patriots Defense Will Be Exposed: Yes, Flacco and Rice both looked sluggish vs. an excellent Houston defense, but defense is not a strong suit for the Patriots. New England ranked 31st out of 32 NFL teams in both total defense and in passing defense, and while it ranked 18th in rushing defense, that was only because the Patriots’ opponents were passing the ball so often, and they did allow 4.5 yards per rushing attempt, which ranked 24th in the league. Thus, look for Ray Rice to have a huge bounce-back game here, and remember that his did rush for a total of 247 yards in those last two meetings. Rice had probably his best NFL season this year, rushing for 1364 yards on 4.7 yards per carry while adding another 704 receiving yards on 9.3 yards per reception, putting him at 2068 yards from scrimmage.

Using Rice successfully in both capacities should allow the Ravens to control the clock and keep the New England offense on the sidelines, and it should also open things up for Flacco to have success downfield with deeper passes later.



Ravens-Patriots AFC Championship Prediction:


As usual in the playoffs, the much better defense will prevail and it will be the Ravens moving on to Super Bowl XLVI.


Baltimore 27 – New England 23

Wisconsin vs. Oregon Point Spread Preview, Expert Picks, 2012 Rose Bowl Score Prediction

December 9, 2011 By Uncle Jay 2 Comments

A couple of 11-2 teams square off in the Rose Bowl when the Pac-12 Champion Oregon Ducks take on the champions of the Big Ten, the Wisconsin Badgers.


The Badgers avenged one of their losses in the Big Ten Championship Game by coming from behind to nip Michigan State in a 42-39 thriller. Meanwhile, the Ducks failed to cover the spread in the Pac-12 Championship, but the outcome was never really in doubt in a 49-31 triumph vs. UCLA.


Oregon has been installed as a (-6) favorite with the total set at 72.





ODDS: OPEN: OREGON -6 | CURRENT: OREGON -6 | O/U: 72


1. Why Wisconsin will cover the spread: The key to Wisconsin covering this spread comes in two parts. First, quarterback Russell Wilson must have success through the air early. Wilson gives the Badgers an added dimension that they lacked in prior years with his arm, and he averaged an outstanding 10.1 yards per pass attempt this season. He will be throwing against an Oregon defense that is allowing only 6.3 yards per pass attempt, but remember that the Wisconsin offensive line is bigger and more physical than the lines Oregon’s defense faced in the Pac-12.

Once the passing game has been established, then the powerful Badgers’ running game led by Montee Ball can take over. Wisconsin averaged 5.5 yards per carry as a team, and if the Badgers are successful passing early, it will prevent a good Ducks’ run defense that is allowing 3.6 yards per carry from committing to stopping the running game.



WISCONSIN vs. OREGON Expert Picks | Who is the public betting on?



2. Why Oregon will cover the spread: The Ducks’ approach here should be just the opposite, as Oregon will cover the spread if it can establish the running game early. The Ducks have one of the best rushing attacks in the nation, averaging 295.7 rushing yards per game on a whopping 6.5 yards per rush, and they can use their superior quickness to overcome the size advantage that Wisconsin possesses.

The reason Oregon needs to establish the run early is because quarterback Darron Thomas is averaging a more ordinary 7.89 yards per pass attempt, but he is at his best when the running game fires on all cylinders.




3. Total Talk: This has the potential to be one of the better BCS bowl games as we see both offenses achieving their goals for the most part. Yes, the Oregon offense did not fare well out of conference vs. LSU, but that’s because the Tigers have the team speed on defense to match the Oregon offense. On the other hand, the Wisconsin defense will smash you in the mouth, but it will not out-quick anyone.

On the other side, we see the Badgers’ offensive line wearing down the Ducks’ defensive line, enabling Wisconsin to score points. The end result should result in a high scoring game, but then again, this is an enormous posted total. Still, we don’t feel that 80 points or so would be far fetched in this game, so we still lean to the ‘over’ even with a total of 72.

4. Betting Trends for the game: Big Ten bowl underdogs are 35-26-1 ATS since 2000 and Wisconsin is 14-5-1 ATS its last 20 overall games. The ‘over’ is 30-12-2 the last 44 times Oregon went off the betting board favored.



5. Oregon-Wisconsin Rose Bowl Prediction: Oregon 41 – Wisconsin 38
