2008 Super Bowl odds: NY Giants open as big underdog And finally we know who is going to the Super Bowl XLII - the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. On Sunday the Patriots won 12-21 against the San Diego Chargers as expected, booking tickets to Arizona and a few hours later the New York Giants presented yet another upset of the playoffs by beating the Green Bay Packers 23-20.

The Patriots were -14 points favorite and the Giants were +8 against the spread at the online sportsbook Bodog Sports. And if you were able to catch our last warning yesterday, you also may have taken advantage of the 8/1 odds on the NY Giants to win the Super Bowl, odds no longer offered.

At the online betting company Bookmaker, the point spread on the 2008 Super Bowl game between the NY Giants and the New England Patriots opened this morning with the Pats -12.5 points against the spread, while the total was posted at 53.5 points. At this time money line on the Super Bowl game was not published, but the bookmaker assured us it will be out shortly, and of course, will favor the New England Patriots. So here you have it - the Super Bowl point spread opened at -12.5 points chalk the New England Patriots.
