The best Super Bowl of all time was also the greatest upset
« on: January 26, 2017, 04:16:21 PM »
As a Giant fan I would have to agree it was the best SB of all time, but Im sure there are those of you who will disagrees on something that for the most part is so subjective. Interesting list none the less.

That was undoubtedly a great game and very likely the best, but Jets over Colts in Super Bowl has to be biggest upset.  They were 18 point underdogs.

It's tied for the third largest upset.

3:  Jets over Colts (-18)
36: Patriots over Rams (-14)
4:  Chiefs over Vikings (lol) and 42: Giants over Patriots  (-12)

Agree. The Giants were a very good team expected to give NE a good quality test....the "undefeated" status of NE caused Dolphin fever to make NE a big betting favorite..but truthfully, those of us without rooting/betting interests  expected a good competitive game...and I didnt think it was anything monumental that Giants won. On the other hand....

The Jets game came at a time the two leagues barely knew each other, the Pack had confirmed (or so we thought) the NFL was better...and on paper the Colts were even better going in...it was simply crazy talk to pick the Jets....biggest Super Bowl upset ever...easily.

I think by 'greatest upset' he meant metaphorically.

Cannot argue that.
