| Three Things To Watch in the Super Bowl: New York Giants vs. New England Patriots |
For the greatest betting options on the Super bowl and odds to include propositions, check out Bet Phoenix, the best sportsbook for betting on the big game. Here are three of the top storylines for the big game. --The High Powered New England Offense Although it wasn't perfect against the Baltimore Ravens, this scheme is becoming a bigger part of the New England Patriots' offense and Tom Brady runs it to perfection because he is able to make a lot of key adjustments before the snap. When the Patriots go no-huddle, the defense can't substitute freely. Versus the Ravens, who used a lot of nickel packages, Brady was able to run the ball more than expected against softer personnel. This helps to tire out a defense, especially if it's a no-huddle, and it also gives Brady and the Pats' explosive offense more plays. Brady is uncanny at making good decisions if he gets a good pre-snap read, and with the no-huddle, the defense is forced to simplify calls and coverages. This offense can use this wrinkle in the Super Bowl to really speed up the game against the New York Giants on a fast turf with their multiple personnel groupings and motion. It will be a real challenge to slow them down. The Patriots defense on a roll This still isn't a great defense, but it has shown marked improvement in two playoff wins. The back end of this unit can still struggle, but when the guys up front play at an elite level, it covers up some secondary deficiencies. The interior of the defensive line is dominating right now with Vince Wilfork, Kyle Love and Brandon Deaderick. Not only do they collapse the pocket with powerful bull rushes -- and we know that QBs hate inside pressure -- but they also do a nice job with inside twists and stunts that give offensive lineman fits in their blocking angles. The edge rush right now is a pleasant surprise with unexpected production from outside linebackers Mark Anderson and Rob Ninkovich, who have combined for 16.5 sacks. The linebackers are good versus the run and they are very active, but they can be exposed by good backs in the receiving game. Wilfork is the anchor of this front seven guys and right now he is almost unblockable. Eli Manning eclipsing Tom Brady Manning is playing at an elite level, making great adjustments during the game and it seems like it is impossible to stop him right now. When the run game wasn't working against the San Francisco 49ers' tough run defense, he went to a pass-heavy approach, ending up with 318 yards and two TDs on 58 attempts. What makes these numbers so impressive is that he read his progressions and made good decisions while under duress all night, spreading the ball around to eight different receivers. San Francisco sacked him six times -- and had another 12 QB hits -- and yet Manning continued to make plays. He now has an excellent three wide receiver package with tight ends and backs who can catch the ball, and they can really spread the field with creative schemes. With Manning at the helm, this offense is capable of winning a shootout with New England. If the Pats go to a lot of defensive sub packages to match up with the Giants' passing game, Manning can go to his run game against softer personnel groupings. The storylines are endless in this contest and they will evolve in the two weeks leading up to kick off. Look for updates on this story and the other great headlines for the Super Bowl.
