Giants celebrate another Super Bowl title

Football Betting Lines

02/07/2012 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Giants celebrated another Super Bowl title Tuesday with a parade up the Canyon of Heroes in lower Manhattan and a ceremony at City Hall Plaza.

Thousands of fans lined the streets as players, coaches and team personnel rode floats from the southern tip of Manhattan through the financial district as confetti fluttered down from the high-rise buildings.

Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning and defensive lineman Justin Tuck headlined the main float with the Vince Lombardi Trophy, which the Giants captured for a fourth time with a 21-17 victory over New England on Sunday in Indianapolis.

Head coach Tom Coughlin, general manager Jerry Reese and co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch were also part of the main float that included New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York governor Andrew Cuomo.

The parade ended at City Hall Plaza, where Bloomberg, after declaring the city the "Big Blue Apple," presented the Giants with keys to the city.

Former Giants star Michael Strahan, part of the team's last parade four years ago following another Super Bowl win over the Patriots, helped Bloomberg fire up the crowd.

"Let's hear it for the 2012 Super Bowl champion New York Giants," Strahan bellowed.

Before the keys were presented, Coughlin addressed the crowd.

"Only, only could this happen in New York," the two-time Super Bowl-winning coach said. "This is the greatest city in the world and it's wonderful we've returned the Lombardi Trophy to where it belongs, right here in New York."

Some of the biggest cheers during the key presentations went for receivers Mario Manningham, whose 38-yard catch along the sideline ignited the winning drive in the fourth quarter, and Victor Cruz, who caught the first TD pass in the contest. Cruz, before he picked up his key, did a quick salsa dance with Strahan.

Tuck, who had two sacks in the Super Bowl, made a few quick remarks and credited his teammates for their hard work.

"We made it here by believing in each other -- offense, defense, special teams," he said. "I'm so blessed to have teammates that go to work every day. It didn't matter where the credit went. We didn't care. We cared about one thing -- those trophies."

Tuck also brought up running back Andre Brown, who led a few teammates in a song and dance. Brown sang "I got a ring" and his teammates would answer "We got a ring."

After the brief rendition, Tuck concluded by saying, "And I got two."

Manning was the last to be presented with a key and walked to the podium to chants of "MVP, MVP." He was also the last to speak to the crowd and echoed Coughlin's message throughout the season of "finish."

"Finish games, finish the fourth quarter and finish the season strong," Manning said. "A team that won six straight games to finish the season and finish the final game to win the Super Bowl trophy.

"Thanks to all who supported us and who never lost faith in us. We never lost faith in ourselves and congratulations to all of you."

After the New York City celebration, the Giants traveled across the Hudson River to their home in East Rutherford for another rally at MetLife Stadium.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
