2012 Super Bowl XLVI – NE Patriots vs NY Giants 2008 Super Bowl Rematch

Super Bowl XLVI this year has the favored New England Patriots against the same New York Giants team who upset the Patriots on February 3, 2008 in Super Bowl XLII thanks to a stifling defense the Pats QB Tom Brady simply could not exploit. Las Vegas Super Bowl odds at kickoff had the Patriots favored by 13.5, and the total stood at 54 points. The 17 - 14 defensive victory by QB Eli Manning and the Giants gave them the win against the spread (ATS), straight up (SU) and the Over bet on the Total Points never had a chance. This year the Patriots are favored by roughly 3 points, but that line has been moving as questions center around tight end Rob Gronkowski's availability. The Patriots tight end had a record-setting season this year, and is a big part of the Patriots' success.

On the other side of the ball, that small advantage given the Patriots has a lot to do with the health of the New York Giants defensive line. They are finally healthy, and have displayed consistent pressure lately, upsetting a powerful Atlanta Falcons team 24 - 2, followed by a 37 - 20 trouncing of last year's Super Bowl champs the Green Bay Packers. They then beat an equally defensively talented San Francisco team 20 - 17, winning those last two games on the road.

The Patriots obliterated the Tim Tebow-led Denver Broncos 45 - 10, and then outlasted the Baltimore Ravens 23 – 20 to get here. Playing the Super Bowl this year in the stadium virtually built by Eli Manning's older brother Peyton, the rematch that has taken four years to transpire has produced no end of proposition bets offered by online betting casinos. Last year's Super Bowl was watched by over 163 million Americans, making it the most viewed television program of all time. So if you are only a mild fan, and don't know much about football, you can still get in on the fun and excitement of placing a bet in what is truly an entertainment event as well as a sports contest.

You can bet on the total points scored by both teams, the first player to score for either team, how many incomplete passes will be thrown and even make a wager on the winner of the coin toss which starts the game. And since this is the last NFL betting contest of the year, online sports casinos aggressively compete to offer the best possible lines and the widest variety of prop bets. This means a little research on your part can deliver the best possible chance of you cashing in big.

So whether you take the favored Tom Brady and the New England Patriots and lay the points, or you like the peaking New York Giants and Eli Manning with about a field goal, one thing is sure, the 2012 Super Bowl XLVI is going to be one sizzling hot Super Bowl Sunday.

With the 2012 NFL team and player changes firming up, this year's football action promises to be one of the most exciting ever.
