Sports fans, in large part, are motivated by the "I was watching" factor. "I was watching when the Sox came back." "I was watching when Messier delivered on his guarantee." "I saw Norwood go wide right." So on and so forth.

Penn State vs. Texas A&M will probably be a good pure football contest, but its potential for a memorable game - regardless of regional interest - is far less than that of Giants-Pats. Penn State and A&M fans will carry the memory of that game after it's over, but due to the smaller stage they're playing on, it's unlikely many others will.

My Thoughts...

Patriots cover Big time in this game. Show the "World" just how good they really are. In front of everybody they will show why they not only will win this game but also the Super Bowl.

W.HI.P what do you think of this? When I saw this article this morning in the newspaper I had an extra sip of Coffee and just thought to myself "LONG TERM BETS"

Mac, I know your logic behind it, and its very possible.
IMO though, I don't think they really need to do anything at all to assure that the remanding money is wagered on the Pats.
Cover/Win/Lose won't make a difference.
Pats win the AFC semi final impressivley just under the spread.
Pats lose in the AFC final against the Chargers or the Colts.
In the end....Everyone looses their money.
Except for me of course.
My money's been on the Chargers and Colts since week 1.

Well, the Pats showed why they just might be champions, one more time. Congrats to them.

They looked purdy good in the win too. Playoffs should be interesting this year. There are a few good teams out there in both conferences.

It was a great game, but the announcers' "Awww look at the cute lil Giants trying to play ball with the Patriots" attitude kind of grated.

I hope they tie and go into so many overtimes, they finally decide the winner by a shoot-out with field goals - lol.
