We stated it before: this is the Super Bowl that no one wanted to see. And it was exactly that. It turned into a low-scoring defensive showcase.
I went against my gut to go against the public and put out a lean on the OVER. But at least it was just a lean. My pick was the Patriots to cover the number and they did with ease. I made a point that the Pats’ ability to keep their offense on the field would eventually neutralize Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh.
