When to lock in G-MEN on Sunday?

The line I currently have for the Giants is +12.5 (-109)

I should have taken them at -14, but that's a moot point now.

Do you guys predict the line moving for or against the G-men in the coming days? Should I lock in now at +12.5 or should I wait until closer to Sunday. Also, is it worth buying the hook at +13 (-117).

Thanks for the help,
TML

I am thinking the line might move back up before game time but 12.5 is actually higher than most right now

true. I think that after everyone actually gets to see Brady practice, it climbs back a little bit, and levels off at 13.

I actually think that this line could drop to 11.5 or even lower by game time.

Nice to know. WSEX had it at 11.5 for three days before raising the number back to 12 on the 25th.

Greek has 12.5

You might be right Judge. I really can't get a feel but I did think what Keith said, once everyone knows Brady is fine it would go the other way. Curious to see now what happens

Jack, that was kind of my thinking too. In a general sense, dogs are always a better play closer to kickoff, but I don't have too much experience with the Superbowl. I think if I see the line hit 13 I'll grab it. Im using Pinny BTW.

The one thing is NE’s line has been inflated every week and when is the last time they have covered? Pittsburgh? It has dropped closer to game time last few times in playoffs though. I guess we’ll see

Obviously people are going to have different opinions on the pick itself. Let's avoid that kind of discussion. All Im asking for is some advice on where people think the line is moving?

Thanks for the help so far!

Yep, NE has lost their last five ATS while NY has covered their last five. I really seeing this closing lower than the currently available numbers.

I believe the spread will stay about right wher it is. A lot of the so called experts are predicting that this game will be a very close game. A lot cried out when they saw they were giving 14 out of the gates. The line settles at 12/ for the rest of the way. The OVER appears to be the obvious choice for me. GL

Still 11 at SBG

NE -115
NYG -105

I think late money will come in on NE, so line shouldnt end up any lower than 11 and might end up at 13.
