I don't think there is even an argument any more of who the better team is, this makes three straight wins head-to-head and I think it's OK to count previous Super Bowl because teams haven't changed that much (if anything, Giants are slightly better now and Pats are slightly worse). Teams that bring pressure up the middle will always give Brady and Pats trouble. There aren't many teams in AFC built to do that, which is why New England has such a great record every year. One of the few exceptions is Steelers and you remember how that went.
Yes, I couldn't tell if people were serious when saying Patriots was the bet here. You either lay points or juice with the worse team. I can only imagine they hadn't followed the Giants close enough and went with stats from the season as a whole.
