The New England Patriots are the early favorites in Super Bowl XLVI, getting -3 over the New York Giants in the Feb. 5 game in Indianapolis.
2012 Super Bowl Odds And Line: Patriots Early Three-Point Favorite
After two low-scoring conference championship games where the defenses were in control, the odds-makers expect more of a shoot-out in the Super Bowl, projecting both the Giants and the Patriots to score in the mid-to-high 20’s.
In a season that became known as the “Year of the QB” as passing offenses around the NFL shattered every conceivable record, it’s fitting that the two teams left are pass-oriented squads who depend on the late game heroics of their star QB’s.
Both Tom Brady and Eli Manning could have big games in a rematch of Super Bowl XLII, although a good portion of the New York defensive line (Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck and Mathias Kiwanuka) that gave the Patriots offense so much trouble four years ago is still there.
