I just think it'd be a good idea to try to remove clutter from the forum, maybe we should make a sticky for these next season, there are always a dozen threads for every game and twice as many people asking for them all to be merged.

Here is a list of predictions of the ESPN staff down to the janitor:

Super Bowl 2012 - ESPN.com's Super Bowl XLVI predictions - ESPN

Gregg Easterbrook's prediction shows what an idiot he is,

First Bird Man and now Mike Wallace, the Lawfirm has some connections.

I think the last time this many people picked against the Pats was against the Rams in SB36 and that includes the 03 and 04 Colts when everybody loved Manning and the 04 Steelers when they were too tough and the 06 Chargers who at 14-2 were loaded.

 

[JackBauer]

The Giants can be one of the most dominating run teams in the league, and with the issues New England's defense has had with tackling, I'd look for Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs to be difference- makers.

I thought that was an awfully strange comment coming from someone working for Scouts, Inc.

Come to think of it, a lot of the comments on that page were bizarre.

Some of those guys picking the NYG to win by multiple scores need to have their head examined...

 

[Deus Irae]

Curran is picking the Patriots, 37-34

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Damian Woody is picking the Giants

That fu(ker let being in NY go to his head

After stating yesterday or the day before that "New England doesn't have the fire power to keep up with the Giants", Sterling Sharpe picks New England to win. Can anyone help me understand this logic? I'm having trouble trying to figure out how the team that can't keep up wins.

Giants Do A Plaxico Burress Sets Outcome For SB XLVI

Saw this at another Pats site. I just love the tag line!

Giants Do A Plaxico Burress Sets Outcome For SB XLVI

Man the Giants are sooooo jinxed!

PFT picks the Pats.

 

[Ron Sellers]

Former NFL running back Warrick Dunn was just on Fox Sports Radio, and he's picking the Patriots.

In summary he thought the people are going a little bit overboard with the love for the Giants, but his primary reasoning was that people are under estimating Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. Specifically he said that when the Pats have a chance to play a team in the same season after losing to them the previous time they almost never lose; they go back and review what happened, what went wrong, make adjustments, and almost always win the next meeting.

For a soft-spoken, non-controversial type of a guy it's worth noting he had no hesitation with his pick, or with his reasoning for that choice.



Edit: from the same show, Petros of the Petros & Money Show predicts the Patriots will win 34-21, and the other host took the Pats as well.

Usually when favored teams lose in the SB its of because of two things: Turnovers and the opposing D playing out of their minds! All the numbers favor the Pats in this game. Most of the reasoning for picking the Giants is because they are the "hot" team when they really didn't even look that great in 3/5 games in which they won. The same can be said for the Pats, but give me the more consistent team who did it and won week in and week out. If the Pats have 0-1 turnovers, they will win straight up.

However, as the week has gone on a lot of peeps been picking the Pats strangely enough!

Can anyone say: HATERS IN THE HOUSE!!!

I love it, would not have it any other way.

 

[BlueThunder]

ESPN talking heads Schlereth,Bruschi, and the host who's name escapes me all picked Pats by same score 27-24 !! :rocker:

They didn't know in advance what the other guys picks or scores were....( really ?)

 

[PatsGirl2011]

I think they knew.Bruschi expression makes me think so.

Ron, does "former NFL running back" have a name?

 

[JoeSixPat]

I'm predicting that Belichick sends Edelman in on a blitz and he picks up a key sack.
