You're familiar with the theory, if it looks to good to be true, it probably is. This is especially applicable when contemplating wagers, especially on an event that features a spotlight as bright as the superbowl.
There's a slight variation on the premise though when gambling is involved. It falls under the heading of the negativity theory. When everyone likes one side of the wager, it's a good time to look in another direction.
It's hard to find one person who hasn't fallen in love with the New York Giants. Needing to win against Dallas in the season's final week just to make the playoffs, the G-Men have rattled off three impressive wins since, including tough road encounters in Green Bay and San Francisco.
They will face a weak Patriots defense in the title game and appear to have the kryptonite to combat Tom Brady, the Patriot's quarterback's greatness....a terrific pass rush using their front four linemen.
It's gotten so, it's hard to find anyone to make a case for the Pats. Even Brady and Bill Belechick might struggle there. Still, the Pats are somehow favored, and if you had to take the case of the general public or the boys in Vegas, it's a mismatch. Grab a cocktail and all you can on New England. It's probably the only way to get the last laugh on a Super Bowl Sunday.
