Interesting tidbit from the recent Bill Simmons SB preview article.

According to him, Vegas is too afraid to have changed the odds for the SB even though the majority of the bets are for a Giants win due to both Brady winning 77% of all games he's played and it would have killed off all the pay outs expected for the -2.5 Pats and the +3.5 Giants.

Quote:
The "Who Does Vegas Want To Win?" edge: Supposedly money poured in on Giants +3.5 and Giants +3 for the past 10 days, only they're terrified to move the line to "Pats by 2½" because, if the Pats covered that by three, they'd lose all the Pats -2.5 bets AND all the Giants +3.5 bets (in a repeat of Super Bowl XIII, the most famous gambling disaster in football history)
