He makes a strong case - only points out the Giants' strengths and potential Patriot flaws. Maybe he should retitle his column "Wishful Thinking with Paul Z".

Oh, BTW, he picked the Giants to LOSE in Green Bay last week:

This guy always picks against the Giants too. weird.

primetime

I don't remember any of Dr. Z's previous picks besides the 1993 (I believe) Super Bowl matchup between the Bills and Cowboys.

He picked the Bills to win.

Remember how that went?

I'm loving it already.

Watson's IQ

Dr. Z is usually pretty cogent, but I won't read this one.

Here's the problem with people who want to pick against the Patriots. They only want to dissect the ways in which the Giants can exploit some weakness the Pats have, because that makes for more interesting copy. "Blueprint", "exposed", whatever, sell more and get more clicks. None of them want to discuss the ways in which the Pats create SERIOUS matchup problems for the opposition. In this game, that's the weak Giants secondary. We saw the EXACT same line of thinking for the Jags game, and even with a perfect game plan and perfect execution, they couldn't win.

The Chargers were BY FAR the toughest matchup for the Pats of any of the 11 other playoff teams, and we survived that one.

Next.

Stop Being A Jerk

When was the last time Dr. Z was relevant? 1972?

Why you gotta play it like that?

primetime

I don't agree with this. The Colts were, and the Jaguars played the best game out of any of the teams. The Chargers were tough as well. All three of those teams were better than the Giants.

Didn't we hear the toughness shtick before with the Jags?

cblesz

Um, never...

As long the "the foot" is OK, I have no concerns about this game.
