SUPER BOWL XLVI

Giants +3 Patriots

DeVoodoo's pick: PATRIOTS
This ain't '07. Me thinks the Giants peaked early this post-season.


Pats/Giants O/U @ 53

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
Two Super Bowl veteran QB's should play fast and loose. Don't be surprised if this game goes to pinball levels of scoring nuttiness.


First missed field goal of the game: Wide left or right?

DeVoodoo's pick: WIDE LEFT
Nervous tension tends to make kickers pull the ball, not push it. (And both of these kickers are right-footed).


Will NBC show David Letterman during the live broadcast?

DeVoodoo's pick: NO
Sure, the man is from Indy, but A) He left NBC in a bitter divorce during the '90s, and B) He's a famous recluse. I can't imagine him confined to a tiny luxury box for four hours.


Patriots to score in 1st AND 2nd quarters (TD, FG, or safety)?

DeVoodoo's pick: YES
What a silly question.


Patriots to score a TD in the 2nd quarter?

DeVoodoo's pick: YES
Ditto.


Team to have the longest kickoff return

DeVoodoo's pick: GIANTS
The Patriots simply don't have a decent return game. This is one of the safer bets of the game, imo.
