Well on a matchup level, no I'm not confident. But let's be realistic here....Eli won those last two games on last minute drives. It's not like this awe inspiring giants team walks over the patriots. They play tough games and lately its been Eli with the ball in his hands during crunch time. (God don't let that be the case with 3 mins in the 4th, please no please heed my calls).
Anyway one thing that occasionally gives me some....I don't know if confidence is the right word, maybe excitement. I think if you look at this game, the Patriots want it more. There's a kind of momentum psychologically with this team, it's so young and hungry and Brady's been trying to get over this hump for nearly a decade. I feel like this team is going to play its heart out, there's going to be nothing lackadaisical or arrogant about it. Guys are going to fly around and throw it all out on the line with complete abandon...its funny to think of the Patriots wanting success more than a team like the Giants but it really does feel that way. We might be used to this but most of the kids on that team aren't....these are a lot of players on their first contract, playing with solid veteran leadership. The Patriots are going to show up in Indianapolis...whether that's enough, we'll see, but at least I have confidence in the team coming out ready to play and wanting desperately to win. Good things come out of that some times...
