Agree completely... Brady didn't look well yesterday (battling illness probably) but still managed to do reasonably well, despite his condition and the cold, wind, etc..

Plus, he's got the one bad game out of the way .... Now, it's show time at the SB ... GMen will be happy to have just made it ... I don't think any of them seriously expect to win. However, I think they will play and try to, which will make the game exciting ....

It could if they were playing on field turf.

See now, this is what I don't get. The Giants beat Dallas & GB by three points a game so they've "come up big" and have the "mo"; the Pats beat Jax & SD by 10 points a game so they're looking weak and vulnerable and have no "mo."

Plus the Giants are supposed to get more credit because "pundits thought they had no business winning"? In other words, the Giants should be favored because they have less talent?

As a neutral fan you wouldn't care who won. We can see your another Pats hater...Nothing to see here troll, move along....move along.

- Injuries, yes they have two weeks off but we are lot healthier then they
are

- Super Bowls are generally about the QB position and Eli is no Brady or even Peyton for that matter

- 35-21 and not as close as that score implies

I don't know about you guys,but I'd love to see the Pats blow the Giants out.Forget an entertaining SB.I want the Pats to embarrass the Giants.

Give this offense two weeks to prepare to play in conditions ideal for this type of offensive firepower? Pats 35, Giants 17.

best...av...ever.

And you know this how? Have you broken down film from that game and others?

Look, the giants are a solid team. They will be able to make plays with Burress and Bradshaw. But they are just not as good as the Patriots. It has nothing to do with "Belichick knows Coughlin" or "Belichick has two weeks to prepare". The players are just better and more experienced. This isn't rocket science.

haha true but i think it'll be alright..hopefully maroney comes out strong with the running & sets up a few brady td's..& if we put a lot of pressure on eli he'll most likely throw a few picks..this guy cant last this long wihout a turnover..its eli manning! who would of ever thought he would be our opponent haha

The cooler weather has obviously had an effect on the Pats offense. No one should take the Giants for granted, but its hard to see the Patriots scoring less than 35 points in ideal conditions. Brady is 11-1 in domes, 27-4 versus the NFC, and 14-2 in the playoffs. He is also 38-2 on artificial turf, but this indoor arena Burdmuda grass!

One other observation, Eli Manning threw 20 interceptions and had 7 fumbles during the regular season. He has yet to throw an interception or fumble the ball in the post season. Could this be the game that the coach (I don't mean Coughlin) turns into a pumpkin?
