in the past 11 years the team to cover the spread in SB has covered all the play off games leading up to the SB. Carolina covered against: Dallas, St. Louis, and Philly, and even more impressive they covered 2 out of 3 on the road against great teams. New England has played very well but if the past holds true again this year, they didn't cover the Tenn. game. And therefore Carolina should cover and probably win out right. I think the team that covers in the SB has won out right 10 of the last 14.
