2012 Super Bowl Volkswagon Commercial

We were huge fans of the Volkswagon 2012 Super Bowl commercial, as we really thought that the VW dog was one of the highlights of an otherwise sometimes gloomy set of commercials.

2012 Superbowl Audi Twilight Commercial

Okay, so maybe the Twilight theme was a little odd for a Super Bowl commercial this year, but the truth of the matter is that it worked. We’re still not so sure what Audi has to do with Twilight, but hey, it worked and was good enough to get in our list of the Top 10 2012 Super Bowl ads.

2012 Coke Superstition Superbowl Ad

Get used to seeing the Coca-Cola bears on the list of the 10 best Super Bowl ads. Coke’s use of these bears was just great, as we can all relate to this one, who believed in all sorts of superstitions when watching his team. C’mon… admit it. You know that you’ve been there, too.

2012 M&M LMFAO Super Bowl Advertisement

LMFAO was a dud in our eyes in the Super Bowl halftime show, but we were a fan of their commercial seen early in the game. It wasn’t the best commercial of the bunch, but M&M definitely got its point across with a Super Bowl commercial that had to leave you chuckling like it did for us.

2012 Super Bowl Volkswagon Commercial Teaser

VW is back again on our list of the Top 10 2012 Super Bowl commercials with its rendition of dogs barking a popular tune from Star Wars. Again, props to Volkswagon for coming up with a great theme for their Superbowl commercials, which were clearly a huge hit.

2012 Super Bowl Commercial For Chevy

Think that anyone has told this kid yet that his present for graduating had nothing to do with the awesome yellow car in the background? Because of the joy of the graduate, we have to include the Chevrolet commercial at the Super Bowl as one of the best of the bunch.

2012 Toyota Superbowl Commercial

Reinventing the Toyota Camry wasn’t the only thing that the Japanese car makers were advertising during the Super Bowl. Apparently, the theme of this year’s Super Bowl was “sex sells,” as there were a number of companies that took that road in their Super Bowl ads this year. We’re not complaining.

2012 Fiat 500 Sexy Italian Super Bowl Commercial

We were a bit off guard over the course of this whole commercial until the very end, as we weren’t really all that sure what a hot Italian chick was advertising. Props to Fiat for its Super Bowl ad, though we tend to think that few are going to remember what the ad was about, and instead will be left thinking about the hot girl in the dress.

2012 Coke “The Catch” Super Bowl Advertisement

Mario Manningham and David Tyree are both known for their remarkable catches that helped the Giants win their last two Super Bowls, but those two have absolutely nothing on the Coke bear. Check out this catch over the course of a full commercial, though we aren’t so sure that the best part of all of this wasn’t the wreckage that he left behind him while making the snare.

Sexy GoDaddy.com Super Bowl Commercial

Sorry to the rest of the companies that tried their best to sell sex during their Super Bowl ads. Once again, GoDaddy.com is the head of the class. Danica Patrick once again was used as the star of the show, but GoDaddy.com brought in any and every sexy woman that they could find for this one, and in the end, it was clearly our top choice for the best Super Bowl ad in 2012.

The New York Giants just won the Super Bowl for the second time under QB Eli Manning. But do the Giants 2013 Super Bowl odds justify backing them again? Check out the answer to the question: Will the Giants repeat as Super Bowl champions?

2012 New York Giants Offense
The biggest thing that the G-Men have going for them this coming season is that Manning has clearly jumped into that elite status of NFL quarterbacks. He has probably surpassed his brother, and really with the exception of perhaps Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees, there probably isn’t another quarterback that you would put on the list ahead of the younger Manning. He threw for 4,933 yards this year with 29 TDs against 16 INTs. Sure, the pick total was high, but Manning made up for it by having a knack for winning games at the end when all looked lost.

The emergence of WR Victor Cruz was key this year. That gave Manning a solid set of receivers to throw the pigskin to. He had 1,536 yards, while WR Hakeem Nicks had 1,192 yards, and WR Mario Manningham had 523 yards. TE Jake Ballard suffered a knee injury during the Super Bowl, but assuming that he is okay, he is going to one of the sneakier tight ends in the league next year. Ballard averaged 15.9 yards per catch and had 604 yards.

RBs Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs were both hurt for pieces of the season, and the two only ended up rushing for a total of 1,230 yards with 16 scores. Both averaged under 4.0 yards per carry, and that shows that the offensive line is clearly going to need some work going forward.

2012 New York Giants Defense
Defensively, it is all about the pass rush. The play of rookie DB Prince Amukamara improved as the season went on, but he will look like a great starter next year as long as the trio of DEs, Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and Jason Pierre-Paul continue to be dominating. The questions that are to be asked of this defense, which ranked No. 27 in the league at 376.4 yards per game and No. 25 in scoring at 25.0 points per game in the regular season, are going to be at linebacker, where the team just isn’t all that great.

2012 New York Giants Contracts & Free Agents
Free agency shouldn’t be all that bad on the Giants this year. Ballard is a free agent, as is Manningham, and they will probably be the top priorities on offense to resign. OLs Stacy Andrews and Kareem McKenzie are both free agents to be. On the other side of the ball, DB Aaron Ross is sure to be in for a big payday from someone, while S Deon Grant is free as well. LB Chase Blackburn is likely in line for a new contract, and the team is also going to have to address the situation with at punter and backup quarterback if QB David Carr and P Steve Weatherford are not resigned.

2012 New York Giants Schedule
The schedule next year for the Giants is going to be brutal. The team is obviously going to have to play a first place schedule, meaning the Green Bay Packers will once again be on the slate. The other non-divisional home games are against the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers. The non-divisional road games are against the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Raven, and Cincinnati Bengals. Needless to say, it is going to be a heck of a lot different now that the Giants have to play against the NFC South instead of the NFC West, and those games against the teams in the AFC North are certainly not going to be easy.

2012-2013 New York Giants Super Bowl Odds
The Giants Super Bowl odds are 15 to 1 at Bovada.lv, making them the eighth favorite. They were never really the favorites at any point over the course of this season either, especially with the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles in the same division with them. In the end, this is a brutal schedule for New York to have to play, especially if it isn’t going to win games like the two against the Washington Redskins that it was defeated in this past year. We aren’t even all that sure that the Giants are going to make the playoffs next year, and at this point, we wouldn’t want to back a team at these types of 2013 Super Bowl odds, especially when the team was brutally inconsistent all season long.
