Fellow Americans- Happy Super Bowl Sunday. Ranking right up there with Christmas, the last day of high school, the 4th of July, Saint Patrick's Day, and Cyber Monday; Super Bowl Sunday is King ... Eat to much, drink too much, bet too much...Worst case scenario; you smell like a brewery, cannot button your pants, and as a result everyone in your office on Monday hates you (they are not your friends, they are co-workers)...Best case scenario you are not an amateur and you took Monday off 8 months ago... One of the joys of the Super Bowl is our friends in Vegas take the opportunity to put action on everything that occurs from 6pm- postgame...In that spirit this weeks' Topher City Gopher Money Maker picks will include the spread, the over/under, and ten prop bets...Happy viewing folks!
Picks...
Patriots (-2.5) vs. Giants...Possibly the toughest line of the year... Team are fairly evenly matched up and the anticipation of this rematch makes it even more intriguing... Both teams have some great wins, and some bad losses... Neither team is foreign to playing (and losing) in Indy... Eli's hairpiece is terrible and there is only one Bill Belichick...Go Pats!
Patriots vs. Giants OVER 55... Patriots 31, Giants 27...a semi shoot-out gives even the fans outside of the Northeast something to be excited about...If that does not do it for you, you probably do not like football, and I'm sure Miller High Life will have some excellent commercials.
Smart Money Pick- Tease the Giants to (+8.5) and the over down to (49)...BOOM!
Props...
National Anthem...Over 1 minute, 34 seconds..." Aaaaaaaaaaand the home (pauuuuse) of the braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave..."
Coin Toss...Heads or Tails...Every former high school football player knows this; Tails never fails!
Team to Commit First Personal Foul of the Game... Giants...those guys from New York are jerks...
Total Points for Lawrence Tynes...over (7.5)...2 field goals, 2 extra points...and a kicker made a TCGMM article for something other than blowing the game...
Total Sacks in game...Over 4.5... NASCAR package, engaged...
Will Brandon Jacobs score a TD...Yes (+180)...He is part-man, part-horse...
Chad Ochocinco...Over (.5) catches...Still waiting for the breakout game, this is the perfect stage...
Will a defensive/special teams touchdown be scored...Yes, defenses and special teams always seem to make headlines on Super Bowl Sunday...
Will Either Team score in the last 3-½ minutes of the GAME? Yes...this one is coming down to the wire...
A. Bradshaw and B. Jacobs versus D. Woodhead and B. Green-Ellis total RUSHING and RECIEVEING yards...Bradshaw and Jacobs (-38.5 yards)...
T. Brady versus E. Manning... Total Yards in Game... Brady (-10.5)...TB12 Revenge time...
