What the heck.
Patriots 35 Giants 17
If the Giants defensive line/linebackers can penetrate the New England o-line...we could be in for an upset.....
But I doubt it.
I have a feeling Brady will nickle and dime their secondary to death. 8-15 yard passes all day.

I wouldn't be so upset if it is 8-15 yrd passes all day .... I hate the Pats because they usually pass 3-5 yrds all day. Patsies!!
But I hate New York more .... so that guarantees a New York win. 24-21

But I hate New York more .... so that guarantees a New York win. 24-21 Yeah, you get my drift.....kill em with the short stuff. If by "patsies" you mean "winners", then I guess you're right.  Can't argue with success.....but did they ever get some "fortuitous" calls in the last few games of the season. There was a Monday nighter (or a late Sunday game) in which it looked as if they were going to lose. About 3 calls went their way.....one was after they failed on a 4th down play....but the drive was kept alive on a penalty. I almost threw my remote at the TV. |

Me too ... that was against Baltimore I believe. I predicted a New England lose that weekend in the pro-line. The buggers (refs) cost me money there. At least my friends recognized that I got robbed....  EDIT: And one of my best friends is a New York Jet fan and I told him I thought the Jets would beat the Pats ... they got hosed too. One bad call and the game is out of reach ... |

As much as I try to convince myself the Pats will win, I really can't. The Giants are totally underrated, and have been playing stronger football in my opinion.
Giants 35-31

I really have no idea about tomorrow. Just hope I'm in good enough shape to remember the game  I think that if the Packer Giant pass rush gets to Brady early and they happen to exploit that famous ankle of his, then it will be their game. They won't even have to sack him in order to hurt him. Just make him scramble like crazy. Once he starts limping ... The Giants can do it I believe. They've got a swagger about them but I think that's their way. I think the only thing that prevent them from winning it tomorrow might be Manning himself. Hard call, but ... 27-24 Packers Giants. |

Patriots win this - there is just too much on the line for them to fold on this one. The Burress prediction of 17 points is comical, especially when the Patriots scored 38 when they last met.
And apparently Burress has an ankle injury of his own.

My prediction: it will seem as if the game goes on forever, and it will be boring.

the commercials will be talked about more than the game.

Well, the Giants are getting to Brady. This is what they could have hoped for going into the second half.
Brady looks sore out there. Very stiff.
Cheers.

Know what you mean buds  I think that if the Packer Giant pass rush gets to Brady early and they happen to exploit that famous ankle of his, then it will be their game. They won't even have to sack him in order to hurt him. Just make him scramble like crazy. Once he starts limping ... The Giants can do it I believe.

A little off on the score but the Giants used the right game plan. They got to Brady a lot more than I thought they would. Cheers. |

My prediction: it will seem as if the game goes on forever, and it will be boring. Well IMO you were wrong on both counts. That must have been the shortest Super Bowl in history, at just over 3.5 hours from kickoff. The game was anything but boring. Easily the best one in the last 5 years, if not longer. |
