My guinea pig Yoshi picked them ... he is always right about everything.

Colin Cowherd made some great points on how people are overrating the Giants defense and acting like the Pats have no chance, especially since the last time they played NE had 4 TOs and 400+ yards of offense and was leading going into the Two minute warning. Finally someone pointed out the obvious.

Sad that it took Colin blowhard to state the case.

I'm pretty sure Joe Montana picked the Pats.

He said he thinks the giants have more talent. I didn't see where joe made a pick per se.

Listen, I am as nervous as anyone for this game. But then again, I was really nervous before Denver, so what do I know?

But the love that the Giants get is really puzzling to me. I saw a stat where the Giants had 1 more sack than the Patriots have had over the last five games, yet the Giants (undersized) defensive line is otherworldly while the Patriots is getting little credit.

Additionally, all these analysts are claiming that they would take Eli over Brady because of the season Eli had, but Brady had an all time great season this year, far and above anything Eli did this year (and that's not to discount Eli's season). But just because Eli didn't have has team ahead in the 4th quarter and had to lead his team back on more occasions than Brady doesn't make him the better (or more clutch) quarterback. Clutch Eli won 9 games this season with a negative point differential, whereas Brady won 13 games.

I just don't get all the love. Yes, the Giants have been playing well recently, and deserve to be in this game, but I don't think they have been hotter than the Patriots who have won more games consecutively. It just doesn't make sense to me...

You can all make your own picks here:

I encourage you all to do as I did and pick, "Giants in a blowout."

Since what we pick isn't going to affect the game's result one way or another I want to help build the Giants belief that this will be a piece of cake while helping to give the Patriots and even larger "chip."

Right now there's over 15,000 votes and 82% have picked the Giants (either close or in a blowout).

That's just going make it all the more fun Sunday when they all learn how right they were because the Giants truly were "in a blowout." As victims.

I noticed that too. If Vegas was strictly trying to get a balance between the two teams the line would have dropped more by now until it got close to 50-50. If they did that though the sharps would swoop in and jump on the Pats as a pick or plus one. I don't doubt they'll still do that; they'll just be patient and wait till the last moment in hopes of getting the best line possible from one casino that flinches.

Another thing to keep in mind: I read somewhere that Vegas has only lost money on the Super Bowl twice in the last 21 years. I like the odds of the team that is only getting 35% of the action based on that history.

One last thing to consider: who knows more about this game: the professional handicappers, or the so-called experts at BSPN, NFLN, and the New York newspapers?

I am nervous as hell because of the "what if" factor... But I have a hunch the Pats win by 2 or more possessions.

Everyone is making Elite the best QB ever.. I just think he is going to **** the bed.
