Underdog Giants? Even They Aren't Buying It This Time Around

PrintThe New York Giants love the underdog role. As long as Tom Coughlin has been their coach, and maybe longer, they have thrived in that scenario. In the 'nobody believes in us/we're the little guy/we'll show up and try but we aren't the favorites' sort of mentality.
Heading into the 2012 Super Bowl against the New England Patriots the Giants three-point underdogs, according to Las Vegas oddsmakers. Theoretically, right where they want to play. Playing the underdog card. Thing is, this time around nobody is buying the Giants' routine.
Peter King of SI.com isn't interested. New York City strippers are picking the Giants. Animals are picking the Giants. No one is buying the David vs. Goliath routine.
The Patriots, in fact, are trying to steal the underdog card right out from under the Giants.
"They should feel like they're the team to beat. They're playing some good, good football. They're probably playing the best football that's out there," said New England defensive lineman Vince Wilfork. "And their defensive line can play, too. You can't say anything negative about what they have going on. They can talk the talk and walk the walk."
It is actually difficult for the Giants to play the underdog role this time around, even though they went 9-7 in the regular season and New England went 13-3. The Giants did beat the Pats during the regular season, and there is always that big game back in 2008.
Giants defensive end Justin Tuck, in fact, admitted that the Giants aren't really even interested in the underdog stuff themselves this time around.
"We didn't really buy into all the underdog stuff last time. We knew it was there, and we knew nobody was giving us a shot, but we always believed in ourselves. It's still the same here," Tuck said. "I hope to say it would be the same if we were favored or not, that we believe in ourselves. That's all that really matters. We never really cared what other people outside of those guys in that locker room or our owners or our coaching staff has said anyway."

Nervous
I’ve heard a few people say things like “I don’t see how the Giants don’t win this game”… kind of like what they said about the Pats in 2008.
Underdog or favorite, getting to Brady is again the key to this game.
Manning lobs it, Burress alone, touchdown New York!
For the empty net, Mark Messier... do you believe it?! Do you believe it?! He said we will win game 6 - he has just picked up the hat trick!
Yes it is going to come down to getting to Brady
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I don't know whether the Giants need it
But I need the underdog card to perform my best as a fan

Maybe
this is a good development.
Organizations that want to win consistently year in and year out have to be able to deal with the expectations of being favored.
I’m sure TC will pull something out of John Wooden’s playbook. If anybody got used to the burden of annual expectations, it would’ve been Wooden at UCLA.
that is how I feel entirely
if we want to be the best, we have to act like the best, play like the best and on top of that, do it consistently.
Win or loose, I am especially proud to be a fan of the New York Football giants. With what they went through, to come this far…
channeling my inner TC… Lets Finish this thing!
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
3 points is doodly squat..Everybody knows it...
This game will come down to who planned better and who executes better…The underdog jazz means nothing..Now if they said we were 7, 10 point dogs..As a player that would irritate and motivate..But 3 points?
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I am of the belief that this game will come down to...
…which team stepped up and made more big plays.

I’m getting nervous because the only places I’m seeing the Pats favored are Vegas and posts by Pats Fans. I’m not sure I’ve seen a single “expert” pick the Patriots. I love the confidence and all, I just worry about over confidence. I hope Coughlin knocks them down a rung and tells them to prove it.
Don't worry..our players know the deal here...
No one in their right mind would overlook the Patriots..You’d have to have a team of idiots to think this will be a cake-walk…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Yeah just like the Packers..Our guys knew what they had to do..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."

They will be ready. Finish!

I'm nervous but mostly because of the lay over
Not for the team but the waiting game I am suffering.
I had a dream last night…. that the Giants won 35-20. Sounds great right… nope. In my dream I did not watch the game and only kept track of the score on my phone. Its not like I was away from a TV or my cable went out, nope I was just sitting on my bed with a phone in my hand. When they won, I was only sightly happy. What the hell does that mean?

Relax, TAWD - the enemy's nervous...
Went to Patriot Place at Gillette with my boy and another father-son yesterday…all done up in Giants blue. A few dirty looks, but mostly nice Pats fans telling me the HOPE their guys can keep up. Even one of the workers in the Pats Hall of Fame exhibit, an old-timer, tells me he really loved the Jints before there was a Boston Patriot club, then starts naming all the greats from the 1950’s!
Mostly everyone looked at me and spoke as though we’d already won. I felt like a scout soldier who went ahead to size up the enemy and came back thinking, “They’re already beat!” I know the fans don’t play, but the Pats backers are scared. You, TAWD, are NOT!
Now get back in there and keep watch!

I really am happy to be in SB46
If Eli and this team lose to Brady, Belichick and the NE dynasty of the 2000’s, that’s nothing to be ashamed of. Who’s playing better football right now or not, I don’t know, but the B&B team hasn’t had a title since 2004. It gets harder and harder to get into this thing every year, Brady’s not getting any younger, and I think the pressure for further building a legacy is SQUARELY on their shoulders.
That said, WIN the GAME! But I’m pretty laid back going in.
"Allie Sherman wrecked the Giants!" - my 5th grade bus driver
Wow... I have a Pats friend too !
The truth is – New England fans didn’t really expect this edition of the Patriots to get this far, as the saying goes – they’re playing with house money. That’s not to say the fan-base expects the Pats to lose, most don’t for sure. They are aware that the team has flaws but, they also understand that this Pats team can compete with any team in the league. N.E. has made it the Super Bowl again and besting a Brady & Belichick-led team is always a serious challange, especially on the big stage.

exactly what makes me nervous
no one is sleeping on the Giants this time around.
in fact the pendulum has swung.
the Patriots aren’t planning there 19-0 Party this time of the week like 4 years ago. Instead BB got them practicing in pads.
when you back BB into a corner he’s come up w/ some of his best work.
Fire Fewell
You thinks Belichick was sleeping on us last time
Ya know it comes down to execution on the field and a game plan the players can execute
Eli is our King!
scheme wise...yup
and the NE players were prolly feeling like the game was an afterthought
look at the amount of respect they are showing the giants this year.
Brady basically laughed at Plax’s prediction.
if a Giants player said 17 points this year not one player in NE would scoff or laugh at that.
Fire Fewell
I think you may be right about the players
But not coach B.
The Parcells tree coaches, they coach the same way in season and post season. I don’t expect BB to do anything really off. TC neither. I expect both teams to execute, and I suspect we could see a game with no turnover advantage.
I have just as many questions about how we stop Pats as I do how they stop us. The difference, I trust our pass rushers to get it done more from basic looks. I suspect they will need some more exotic stuff.
Eli is our King!
Depends on the jitter factor
some teams just crumble in the limelight and the ball squirts around a lot. The Giants have been forged over the last 6 games, not so sure about NE…

When was the last time a BB team had fumble fingers
Not saying impossible, but I’m not counting on it
Eli is our King!
We won because we came out, hit them in the mouth HARD, and stepped up and made big plays when it mattered most
Not because BB underprepared for us. Once you hit them that hard, they fear it.

My guess
Odds makers are usually pretty good. Although I don’t think they have a great track record in the superbowl. In our first meeting this year we didn’t have AB or Nicks. The Pats are down Carter and possibly Gronk. Not sure what they are basing this on. Could it be just that they like Brady/Belichek over Eli/Tom?

Vegas doesn't make any money on a Pick'em...
They will lose their underdrawers making the Giants favorites…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Why?
Why would making the Giants favorites hurt Vegas?
Vegas is actually on pace to lose their shirts as is, because so many people bet the Giants to win the Super Bowl at 80-1 when we were 7-7, or 30-1 at the start of the playoffs. They took a lot of action on the Giants at extreme leverage this year. If the Giants win the game, there’s no way Vegas can make money.
That’s made especially so because currently about 70% of bets are coming in on the Giants to either win the game or cover the spread. Vegas is betting very heavily on a Patriots win by keeping the line at around 3 or 2.5 (depending on where you look). It’s almost stunning they don’t move the line actually, given that they normally like to balance the bets. Instead, they’ve seen 70% come in on the Giants and barely nudged this thing.
Well you pretty much explained it here...
They want heavy betting on the Patriots..to try to offset what they will lose..I’m sitting here with a Giants bet that went off at 24-1 odds…So yeah they are just try to re-coup some of what they’ll lose on Sunday..Can’t wait to maill this bad boy in…hahaha
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Setting the line at -3
Has created a situation where 70% of bets are coming in on the Giants. If they were trying to recoup what they’ll lose they would set the line at pickem. Right now, they’re just going to take heavier losses if the Giants win.
The books have effectively taken a position on this game that the Patriots are going to win. They’re not hedging their action.
So you are saying their rationale for risking heavy losses
Is the potential for a NE win, and making a ton of money. Doesn’t seem like a good business model unless you are fairly confident of the outcome.
What they want is for people to bet on the Giant and hope the Patriots win...
They are analyzing all the odds from before the start of the season..People like me placed a bet on the G-men…So they need a heavy volume of bets for the Giants and hope the Patriots win..
I just go by what my wife says…She worked in Atlantic City for Resorts International and Tropicana casinos for 20 years..in the Finance department..so I’ll go by what she says because she knows what she’s talking about..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Huh?
That doesn’t make much sense on the face of it. If they took a lot of action on the Giants at the start of the season, why are they trying to get more bets on them now that they’re already heavily exposed to a Giants win?
It looks to me like they expect the Patriots to win comfortably. I don’t know why.
I don't know what their rationale is
But on the surface, they’re playing it like they’re very confident in a Patriots line. Their behavior makes most sense if the think the “true” line should be something like Patriots -6, so the Patriots are 60% or more to cover a line of -3. At that point, they’ll make a ton of money off the 70% of people betting the Giants side.
That would be pretty weird though, since not even New England fans think the Patriots should be serious favorites.
Well if you talked to my wife...she would explain all the crazy logic behind
setting odds…The goal is for the Casino to win..which 99% of the time they do..but I get cross-eyed when I listen to her explaining the algorythms they use to do it…Even slots..we’ll go on a Cruise and hit the casino and she just wanders around until she finds somebody eating up their quarters for over an hour..Then she’ll tell me after they give up and leave: “This is the slot we’ll play”…We put in less than 10.00 of quarters and won 550.00…Since it was a short Cruise to the Bahamas, it pretty much paid for the whole trip…It’s weird how all that works..but She’s good at it, because she knows how this odds stuff works…There’s always luck involved though..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Luck
when preparation meets opportunity…
Your wife is very lucky.

Probably a lot more people laid $ on the Pack, NO, SF, and NE
at the start of the playoffs. If they needed $ on NE to balance things out, the line would drop. Some will win on those Giant wagers a few weeks ago, but not the Black Sunday for LV that we think, or again, the line would move.

Have been very upfront about needing New England to win. They all say they took more Giants futures action than any other team, because the odds were so favorable. The oddsmaker from Legends has been publicly lobbying bettors to take New England on Twitter.

I like it much better when the Giants are the underdogs. I was hoping the Giants’ mindset would be that the Patriots consider the Giants lucky to have beaten them in the 2008 Super Bowl. They need another win to put that to bed.
How much do you think the players actually feed off the underdog thing, or is it just us fans?

I don't know about this thread
Not only am i not nervous, although i’m just a bit disoriented (no, it has nothing to do with the hundred or so Dead shows i saw in the good ol’ days :)
Here’s how it is for me. It’s like we’re playing with house money. Not in training camp (after Goff, TT, Prince et al went down) did i think we had much of a shot at the SB; certainly not after we lost to the Skins for the second time. I’m just so thrilled that they’ve come together. I went down to the SF game and it’s three hours of my life that i won’t ever forget. It’s not like I’m happy just that the team is showing up in Indy, but i just have confidence they’ll be ready to play. Football is like any sport; it all depends who comes to play on Sunday and who can execute. I’m just looking forward to it, come what may.
As far as the disorientation is concerned, maybe it’s because i wasn’t so addicted to the ‘net last time around, and certainly was not reading BBV multiple times a day, but it’s just wierd that everywhere you turn, everyone is focused on OUR TEAM. It’s like suddenly your kid, whose butt you were wiping a few years earlier, becomes famous. It’s like, “how did this happen?” All this focus on the Gmen, especially after no one gave them any respect (frankly, deservedly at times), is just plain weird. I gotta say, though, I’m loving it!
I know that I definitely share your disorientation...
and I’d bet everything that I own that millions of Giants fans feel the same way.
FYI – “Everything I own” consists of a Yosemite Sam Pez dispenser (no Pez though), three coupons for free Frosties at Wendy’s, and the key to the City of Atlantis.

The only Supe we were favored in was 21
Nine points. We were losing 10-9 at the half and EVERY GIANT FAN was worried, I’ll tell you.
The team’s history of losing championships…coupled with the wasteland of ‘63-’81, created fans who were not confident with the success.
These days are over! There…I said it! We have the pass rush EVERYBODY WANTS. We have the “game-on-the-line”, cool QB EVERYBODY WANTS. We have the Old Sage, Old School coach who EVERYBODY NOW TELLS US AWESOME and a THROWBCK to integrity and character! We have the trio of wide outs (LISTEN to this, BBV’ers: WE HAVE BIG TIME WIDE OUTs! No Giant fan in history has ever said this!!!!) that EVERYBODY DROOLS OVER.
We are good. This was the run that ended when Plax shot himself. It took TC a few years to get them back there. They’re back there. They’re here. They’re for real. They think they will win the game!
Starr felt this way…Staubach…Bradshaw and Mean Joe…Montana and Rice…Aikman and PlayMaker…they all thought like this. Giant Fans – WE HAVE ARRIVED. OUR TEAM Believes in itself!

My Wife is a Patriot's fan...
"Giants rely on fumbles and stripping the ball. If the pats secure the ball, then the pats win, but if they fumble or let the ball get striped than the giants win. every game the giants play they always benefit from the other teams bonehead mistakes (fumbled or striped) not from thier skills. The giants are a dirty team, I can’t think of any othe team as dirty as the giants. They try to strip the ball as hard as they can because they know they can’t win a fair game." by EaglesNeedD on Jan 23, 2012 2:01 AM EST

Really great photo spread -- historic Giants pics
There’s a link up on si.com … highly recommended
Peter King having faith in us would make me feel better
Ryan Miller was the true MVP. See my profile for rant.
i honestly don't understand the grief he gets
There’s tons of people who write about sports who spout off with opinions they cannot back up, who cannot write, or who are just plain dumb. King is none of these. Doesn’t mean I always agree with him, but he is bright, he is highly connected (which means he gets nuggets of choice info that others do not), and when he says something he usually has a reason for doing so. And, if he says something really dumb, he usually acknowledges it in a later column.
How much more can you ask of a sportswriter?

I really don't want to argue with a fellow Giants fan this week
PK’s monday morning QB articles are filled with tortured sentences, spouting old info from other sources, tangents on travel and coffee, personal items, and baseball. He seems to equivocate all the time, and often punctuates his sentences with “maybe” or “not sure.”
Ryan Miller was the true MVP. See my profile for rant.
At times i feel that he speaks from both sides of his mouth
knowing that fans of either team will find good or bad based on who is looking for what.
This is not the 2007 team.

We have other passions in life other than going out and knocking guys’ heads off. And one of mine is definitely my faith. I’m so glad that we’ve picked up the slogan ‘All in.’ It’s not necessarily ‘all-in’ on the football field, but ‘all-in’ on life. And that starts with our belief in Lord Jesus Christ.

Deja vu...
The last time a situation just like this happened was the Steeler/Seahawks SB. The fix was in as evidenced by the bad push-off penalty in the endzone, the phantom holding call on the long pass to the tightend to the Steelers 2 and the TD given to Big Ben. Replays immediately after those calls showed the offensive player didn’t push-off, there was no hold by the offense and Big Ben didn’t get any part of the ball to the goalline. Defying logic, the Steelers were favored in that SB evnthough, just as now, all the analysts felt the Seahawks would win. There is too much money at stake to even imagine the Giants will be allowed to win this game. I hope I am a dillusionally-paranoid schitzoprenic (probably can’t spell either) and the Giants do what they should, WIN!
I didn't know anyone that expected the Hawks to win
I thought the top 3 AFC teams all would have beaten the NFC that year

easy way to kill this
do enough to win that the refs have no say. We’ve had our fair share of ref determined games this season, and we’ve also overcome horrible officiating on numerous occasions.

Two detail oriented coaches face off. Pre-game preparation is the key to being able to slow the game down and play fast and loose. Then it is up to the more focused team of players to execute in a disciplined manner.
Who said demanding coaches don’t lead champions. The Bill Parcell coaching tree sure looks like it produces.
