I think Deacon Jones took too many hits to the head. His comments:


Why the Giants will win: I think it's going to come down to getting pressure on the quarterback.
MVP: Justin Tuck
One other game prediction: I wouldn't be surprised if either team scores more than 50 points.

Prediction: Giants 45, Pats 44.
__________

LOL. So pressure on the QB will be key, Tuck will be MVP and the score will be 45-44. Right.

NFL.com news: Super Bowl XLVI predictions from analysts, players, more

The nfl.com predictions are worrisome with kirwan and brandt picking the giants.

SVN

Lot of people picking the pats reason -tom brady
and everyone picking the giants seems to giving legitimate football reasons.

Brady isn't a legitimate football reason?

Ron Sellers

Kirwan also took the Saints over 49ers and Packers over Giants; seems like he's more of just going with the crowd than being a savant.

Personally I'd be more concerned with Andrew Brandt picking the Giants than Gil Brandt.

Brady sucks...or so I've heard.

This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”

With all due respect, I believe you have been brainwashed by the entertainers masquerading as analysts.

What "legitimate football reasons" have been given, because every single one I have heard can be easily punctured and shown to be anything but legitimate.


For example:

The front four will pressure Brady just like in 2007
- The team is completely different; 60% of the o-line has changed, for the better.

Julian Edelman will get burnt
- He's not covering anybody one one one; he's the dime back

The Giants won before, plus they have players back that weren't there in week 9.
- The Giants won primarily due to poor play of backups that were on the field for the Pats in week 9 (White, Brown, Adams); why are the players the Pats were missing not discussed as well?

The Pats were lucky (missed FG, Evans drop)
- It was a Moore strip more than an Evans drop. Lucky? How about the two SF gift fumbles? The non-fumble call on Bradshaw?

The Giants are more battle-tested against tougher competition
- Didn't we go through how meaningless that stat was last week before the Ravens game?

SF defense is better than the Pats defense, therefore Giants win easily.
- So you're saying the 49ers offense is as good as the Pats offense?

Pats haven't faced a defense this good
- I think the Ravens defense is better than the one that ranked 25th in points allowed

Pats defense is horrible
- Then how do you describe the Giants defense, that ranked ten places lower than the Pats in points allowed?

Giants are hot
- How is five straight wins hotter than ten straight wins?


I'm sure I left a few out, but I have yet to see any "true legitimate football reasons" as to why the Giants will win that at the very least have a counterpoint that make this a tossup, if not favor the Pats to win.

My favorite is: The Giants have all the match ups in their favor. The only clear match-up they have in this game is their WR vs. the secondary. That is it! Their O-line sucks. Their DBs suck. If they don't get pressure on Brady they are really screwed.

SVN

Well..I stand corrected.What I meant was anyone who is picking the giants is giving some football reason however wrong it maybe e.g pass rush/WR/poor pats secondary. No one seems to talk what the pats can do even those picking the pats. Just an observation. Doesnt mean they are right.
