The two-touchdown underdog Patriots will face the St. Louis Rams, who topped Philadelphia 29-24 to claim their second NFC crown in three years, next Sunday in what shapes up to be a David-versus-Goliath Super Bowl. Coach Bill Belichick picked Brady as the starting quarterback for Sunday's Super Bowl, choosing the former backup over three-time Pro Bowl player Drew Bledsoe."Give credit to the players," said Belichick after the triumph over Pittsburgh. "They played hard. We?re thrilled to have won this game and now represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. "It?s a great feeling. We?re proud to be in this position. It?s a great opportunity."

While many think this Super Bowl will be a blow out, on paper some may be shocked! New England for the season are a profitable 12-5-1 Against the Spread. Also in favor of the huge under dogged Pat's, they are 4-2 ATS when 'dog of 7+ points and are 7-1 ATS versus winning teams this season. Currently New England are on an 11-2-1 run ATS since week five.

The Rams didn?t blow out the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game, yet Mike Martz?s club begins Super Bowl week as the prohibitive favorite to capture the league championship. "We?re just going to take it one day at a time from here on out," said Martz, who was an assistant with the Rams under Dick Vermeil when they won Super Bowl XXXIV to cap the 1999 season. "This was a huge victory for the St. Louis Rams. The Eagles are a tremendous football team and they fought hard right to the end. "Now we get a chance to play in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots. This is great - it?s what coaching, playing, being in the NFL is all about."

The high powered offense of the St. Louis Ram scored 32.2 points per game on turf this season. But's only 10-7-1 Against the Spread, however, the Ram's are 6-2 ATS over their last eight games! The over is 5-1 in Ram's last six overall, so many are expecting a "Shoot Out". When dealing with the Ram's, a two-touchdown spread could be covered in two quick offensive drives.

FACT: More than 100 footballs will be used in the Super Bowl and each will have big value to collectors. To authenticate each ball, a strand of synthetic DNA will be used to mark the pigskin.
