While the Patriots have run a spirited campaign, going 18-0, and setting all kinds of offensive records, we think a New England cover against the spread would reward their cynical (almost Rovian) win-at-all-costs behavior from Spy Gate to their pervasive dishonesty on the NFL injury report to Tom Brady's serial philandering with various supermodels. RotoWire (and the American public) are tired of business as usual in the NFL, and the Giants truly represent the team of change. Eli Manning had not won a playoff game until this year, and GM Jerry Reese has made history as the first African American GM to reach the Super Bowl.

What the Giants lack in experience, they make up for in integrity and fortitude, winning playoff games on the road in Tampa Bay, Dallas and even Lambeau Field. (And Tom Brady's experience before 2001 is suspect at best as he wasn't even a starter at Michigan).

For these reasons, RotoWire endorses the Giants to cover the 12-point spread against the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
