Some teams just seem to have the other team’s number. There are no scientific facts behind this phenomenon, but the statement is just as true.
Take the New York Football Giants versus the New England Patriots. When the game matters most, the Giants just seem to have a way to overcome huge odds and beat the Pats. Not every time mind you, but when it counts, the New Yorkers usually come out on top.
The greatest example was in 2007. The Giants lost to the Patriots 38-35 in the season finale. With New England’s sterling 18-0 record pitted against Big Blue in the Super Bowl, the Giants came out on top and ruined the Patriots’ perfect season.
