Super Bowl???

So I just saw this morning that the Giants are getting 12 points in next weekends' Super Bowl. And I asked wheter or not it's even going to be that close. Sure, the Giants have gone on a real nice run through the playoffs and gave New England a good game in the final week of the season, but I really don't think they have a chance of turning this game, into a game.

If the Pats get out to a quick start and the game rests on the shoulders of Eli Manning, they're really going to be in trouble. I'm still not convinced that Eli has any idea what is going on on the field. He really had some Grossman-esque games earlier this season, and I find it hard to believe that he will be able to go 4 weeks straight, in the playoffs no less, playing this well.

If the Giant D can corral Brady, Moss, Welker, Stallworth, Maroney, Faulk, Gaffney, or anybody else Belichick throws at them, they may have the time to run Jacobs and Bradshaw for a while, they may have a chance.

The NY Defense is going to have to dominate from the get go. They're going to have to get some pressure on Brady and his injured foot, or whatever it is, to keep it close. Umenyiora and Strahan definitely have the ability to change the game by getting into the Patriots backfield, but if they don't it's going to get ugly quick.

Hopefully Tom Coughlin has thawed out after playing in frigid Lambeau Field last weekend and has his guys ready for next weekend. Because I am sure that Belichick will have his boys prepared.

The Pats have been here before, many times before, too many times before. They're not going to have the butterflies like the Giants are going to have. Maybe with a little luck the Giants will get out of the gate quick, but I doubt that is going to happen.

It really has been amazing what the Pats have done this season but I do have to say I'm really, really sick of listening to Boston fans. First the Pats go on their run, then the Sox, and now the Celtics are doing what they're doing... Tired.

Anyhow, my prediction, Patriots 38-20. The game is over by halftime. Giants get 10 garbage points in the 4th quarter to make it look respectable.
