by Abe Luciano on Thursday, January 31st, 2008

The NY Giants defensive line has been drawing accolades all season for their monster play but what about the Patriots D-line? Come Superbowl Sunday, the NY Giants power running game will test the Pats 3-4 defense with runs up the gut, while the Giants line will be focused on planting Tom Brady’s head through the turf. Einstein Picks is a trusted winner for NFL handicapping and the team of brains have a GUARANTEED Super Bowl Bet with complete power rating breakdown.

The most commonly used term to describe NY defensive ends Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora is: explosive. The tandem combined for a total of 23.0 sacks on the season and was the strength of the defense all season. Strahan plays with a non-stop motor and he uses a full range of pass-rush moves to get after the QB. Strahan is a physical specimen that can bench-press over 500 Lbs. and he is stout in run support. Sportsbetting.com has the New England Patriots as -12 point Superbowl betting favorites.

Superbowl Sunday: Defensive Line Power Ratings Umenyiora is more of a raw talent that has only so-so technique but the has one of the best first steps in the biz. Osi can shed practically any block with his tremendous power in his hands and he is solid run defender. NY has great depth along the line with speed 6-5 268 pass-rush specialist Justin Tuck providing an additional 10 sacks. Not to be forgotten are the NY defensive tackles Fred Robbins and Barry Cofield is a player with a mean streak that has a nose for the ball. Robbins is a big, burly player that has pass-rush skills to provide a solid push up the middle.

New England’s 3 linemen, Richard Seymour, Ty Warren, Vince Wilfork don’t have the flashy sack numbers of NY’s couple, but they know how to get into the backfield and be disruptive. Seymour has battled injuries this year but he is considered the premiere DE in the NFL when healthy which he will be for this encounter. Sportsbetting.com has the TOTAL at 53.5 points for Superbowl betting odds.

Wilfork is the 370 Lb. plugger in the middle that is almost impossible to block one-on-one. Wilfork is surprisingly quick and he must be run around or else he lays frightening hits on ballcarriers. Ty Warren is the no-name guy that is a blue-collar player that is smart and plays with impeccable technique. The Pats also have depth on the line with backup Javaris Green using his elite athleticism to generate 7.0 sacks as a pass-rush specialist.
