Will Either Team Have 3 Unanswered Scores? (TDs, FGs, or Safeties Only)
Yes -200
No +160
I see this game being pretty close throughout so I would lean towards the NO +160. Both defenses are playing very well right now. The total for the game is 54, which is an average of 27 points per team. I do not see this game very high scoring, which is in line with the total score for the game. Theoretically each team should score around 4 TDs, or 3 TDs and 2 FGs. I do not see either team pulling away for a lopsided victory. Therefore, I am leaning towards the NO.
NYG makes more FG’s -110
NE makes more FG’s -110
Over the course of the whole year of the 2011 season NE has made more FGs and allowed fewer FGs than NYG. Only over the past few playoff games have the teams been equal in this category. Looking at the whole season, I would lean towards New England as more likely to make more FGs in this affair. Factoring in stats from 2010, NE also has an edge there as well.

Is a tie a push?
"Then you can admire the real gambler, who has neither eaten, slept, thought nor lived, he has so smarted under the scourge of his martingale, so suffered on the rack of his desire for a coup at trente-et-quarante" - Honore de Balzac, 1829

Make sure the term 'unanswered' is clearly defined. If the Pats score 3 TDs, then the Giants score a TD, then the 3rd Pat TD is not 'unanswered'. Many want 'unanswered' just to mean 'consecutive', but for some reason don't know the proper word.

I've heard Newt Gingrich will be attending the game. The best prop I've heard is that if they put a pizza in front of him what is the number of slices he will eat. The line is 6.5.
That is one of the ten most common props I would say. I don't know why they don't just say "consecutive." Hardly anybody ever uses the word "unanswered" other than in reference to a question. It means just that. Extra points and 2-point conversions don't count. It is also a very tricky prop to analyze. I stay away from it.
