Super Bowl 2012 Date and Time: Giants vs Patriots, Location, Line, Spread and prediction
Super Bowl 2012 is not today. Waking up in the wrong side of the bed. In the process of time, the New England Patriots and New York Giants will be vying for the Super Bowl 2012 title at the Lucas Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana. As all other teams dropped their chances of being in the Super Bowl, only two teams remain – the AFC Champion and the NFC Champion.
The story is being portrayed as part two of their previous game this season or the 2008 Super Bowl which is considered by many as the best of all time. Call it either way, the Giants vs Patriots are the teams still standing until the Super Bowl 2012 starts and the winner is declared. The fact that these two teams met in one of the most contentious Super Bowl ever makes sense for the entire NFL supporters to anticipate greatly the Super Bowl 46. Yes, the Patriots emerged as the AFC champion despite many tumultuous challenges dismantling Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs. The Giants also proved that playing on the road will not be the hindrance in reaching the Super Bowl winning five road games already in getting into two Super Bowls.
Expectations are still high for the Patriots to win this game. The truth is that Las Vegas oddsmakers lifts the Patriots into 3.5 line spread favorites. In the eyes of Vegas experts, the Patriots are the favorites. True to them but not to all. If your remember the odds in the Super Bowl 2008, the Patriots were overwhelmingly favored by 14 points because of the way they won all their games and beating also the Giants in their season finale. This time around, a slim spread that favors the Patriots. Why are the Patriots still getting the nudge of the experts. The presence of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick will always be the determining factor as far as the Patriots success is concerned. Being the favorite to win the Super Bowl 2012, Brady’s offensive game and Belichick’s mind of the game will have the Patriots the edge.
However, there are other people that select the Giants because of quarterback Eli Manning making considerable improvements in anchoring the Giants offense. Manning faced the stingy defense of the 49ers in the NFC Championship game but he didn’t falter to deliver that passes when needed. Manning has been extremely great in playing his best in tough times. He can be now considered as one of the elite quarterbacks. Manning can make the case again and again if he wins this Super Bowl. Also, the Giants have the defense that can surely contain the offense of the Patriots. To compare the Ravens and Giants defense is not right at all. Giants will take the Ravens book and apply it in a given plays. Absolutely, the Giants may have seen something that they can explore defensively from the previous game. They found out the reason why Tom Brady didn’t play well at all.
In laying out the case of which is a better football team, other factors can be in the spectrum of adding into considerations. The Patriots are nursing a problem of whether the number one receiver tight end Rob Gronkowski will play the Super Bowl or no because of ankle injury. Leaving Aaron Hernandez, Wes Welker, and Deion Branch as the remaining receivers left for the Patriots. This will be a major adjustment on Brady on how he will distribute his passes in the most efficient way without Gronkowski.
Giants will not have the service of Plaxico Burress who caught the winning touchdown in Super Bowl 2008, but Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz are ever better in getting along with Manning in the passing game. Absolutely, these two receivers will be the main focal points of Manning and his offense as they try to extricate the defense of the Patriots.
Patriots didn’t have the defense in the regular season yet they survived and stopped the offense of the Broncos and they limited the offense of running back Ray Rice by allowing him only 67 yards. Patriots defensive package is unpredictable as experts believe that Belichick has the mind and game plan to tame the Giants offense. For the Giants defense, getting into Brady will be the main focus. To sack Brady more than five times will surely alter the complexion of the game in favor of the Giants.
