Having said all that, I KNOW the Pats can win. The Pats have better talent, better depth, better experience, and Belichick and Brady. Both BB and Tom have impressed me to new heights this season for their single-minded grit and determination to make a statement: we deserve this championship; we want this championship.
It's going to be one fine, excellent game.

The Patriots are clearly a better team. That will get them nothing, but who plays better in that game will obviously be dictated by who is better.
IMO, the Giants survived 3 playoff games that looked like neither team wanted to win. Not to discredit them, because they won, but I do not consider a team 'red-hot' when their 3 wins were games that were decided by who made couldn't make plays rather than by them taking games by making plays.
The Patriots tore through 18 games this season. The Giants beat bad team, were so-so against the better teams they played, and survived the NFC playoffs against a group of teams that was a large cut below the AFC.
Just like it has been for quite a few seasons, the 5 best teams in the NFL were in the AFC this year.
That does nothing to guarantee a win, but something very unusual, unpredictable, and unprecedented would have to happen for the Pats not to finish off the perfect season.
