So who’s going to win the Super Bowl? Better yet, who’s going to cover? There are a lot of factors to examine carefully when trying to determine who has the edge. One of the simplest to examine, and very revealing, is defense. Defense wins championships, of course, and when we look at the defensive merits of the Giants and Patriots, it’s a mixed bag. Both ranked in the bottom half of the league in points allowed with the Giants 25th and the Pats were second worst in yards allowed. On the other hand, both defenses have been strong down the stretch. The Giants are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 playoff games, and the Under is 8-2 in the Giants last 10 playoff games. The Patriots are 12-6 over the total, including a 7-1 run over in the playoffs. In an attempt to look forward towards Sunday’s big game, let’s take a look backward. Backward at defense, that is. A year ago the Steelers and Packers were both ranked are in the Top 10 in total defense. Two years ago was a bit... 

Rematch of the 2008 Super Bowl thriller with the Giants scoring late to stop the 18-0 Patriots, 17-14. Much of the same cast returns for both teams, including the head coaches. The Giants have 14 players remaining from the 2008 Super Bowl team, the Patriots have seven. Back in August the Patriots were 5-to-1 and the Giants 18-to-1 to win the Super Bowl. We have been in a golden age for the AFC for a while. It’s almost as if the pendulum has swung. During the 1980s and much of the 90s, the NFC dominated, winning 15 of 16 Super Bowls, including 13 in a row. That changed in 1998 when Denver upset Green Bay, 31-24. Since then, the AFC has won 9 of the last 14, though the Giants would like to make it three in a row after the Saints and Packers won the last two seasons. Since 2004 rules have been changed by the NFL to favor offense. That includes enforcing the 5-yard rule to help wide receivers get down field with less hindrance and the Tom Brady rule, which protects quarterbacks. When... 

Apparently defense does still win championships. San Francisco will host New York at 4:30 p.m. EST on Sunday for the NFC Championship Game. The winner advances to the Super Bowl (you may have heard of that) to face either Baltimore or New England. The 49ers and Giants advanced to the NFC Title Game thanks to incredible defensive efforts last week, out muscling the No. 1 and No. 3 offenses in football, respectively, in wins over the Saints and Packers. San Francisco and New York forced turnovers and took advantage of weaker defenses in both games, and now they will bang heads in what should be another NFC Championship Game between these long-time rivals. Storylines This week’s New York-San Francisco championship game harkens back to some of the most historic postseason games in NFL history. Their last playoff meeting was a 39-38 thriller in the 2003 Wild Card Round in which the Niners overcame a four-touchdown deficit, and the last time they met in the NFC Championship Game was a classic... 

This is it, the final weekend of games before the Super Bowl with the Ravens, Patriots, Giants and 49ers squaring off. The last month we’ve been hearing about playoff seedings, bye weeks and home field advantage. Are all those things really important? Historically it has been during the second round of the playoffs. Teams with the bye have home field advantage and two weeks to prepare, both of which are usually important edges this time of year. However, during the conference championship games that kick off this weekend, history shows us that the two remaining teams in each conference are often on fairly equal footing, both straight up and against the spread. You might think the team with the home field has a big edge. The last three years all five of six home teams (Colts, Saints, Cardinals, Steelers twice) won plus went 4-2 ATS, but notice that since 1992, the home team has won just 21 of 38 NFL title games straight up, and the visiting team is 20-18 against the spread. Going...
