Well then, let's just say my interest in sports as a whole rides entirely on the outcome of this game.

I'd love to see the Pats lose, but at the same time, I'd like to see an undefeated team.

With that said, I'd like to see the Giants lose because all of my friends are Giants fans. At the same time, I'd like them to win because I hate teams that win all the time, like the Patriots.

I think the Pats should take this game by double digits. To get to the superbowl, they have won by an average margin of under 6 points. They've played their best football possible - no offensive turnovers. To have a shot at the Pats, they'll need to do that, and that'll be extremely tough.

The Pats are the reason the Giants are here, so I think losing to them in 3 points gives the Giants a chance. If the giants can play the way they did week 17, I think they actually do have a chance. They would need their DB's to step up again. They've done it against a very speedy Galloway, one of the greatest catchers in Owens, and they held Driver fairly quiet. Now, they'll have to do it against a guy who is a mixture of all 3, in TO, and Wes Welker, who has turned into one of the best WR in the league because of Moss.

The Pats have shown on many occasions, that they are not invincible. Moss had 1 catch against the Chargers, and had LT and Rivers been fully healthy, the Chargers would be playing the Giants. Tom Brady threw 3 INT. From week 14 until now, Eli Manning has thrown 3 INT total.

I think if you're the Giants, I'd play my own game offensively. But on D, I think you have to take the Pats out of their game. Do what you did week 17. Let Gaffney, Kyle Brady, etc beat you. If they do, it wasn't meant to be. I think Gaffney can beat them if they are too devoted to Moss and Welker, but I think it's ok. Let Gaffney beat you.

So, all in all, I still like the Patriots. But, I think the Giants do have a chance.

I got the Patriots in this one, but I will be rooting for New York like I have all postseason and because I hate the Patriots.

I just find this odd...since you are a Yankee fan.

No, what I said was directly related to the what I quoted...not his entire spiel.

Giants could become the 5th Wild-Card champion...but won't.

LETS GO G-MEN!!!!

^Tom Brady in a cast on Monday

I hate New England so freaking much its unhealthy.

Go Giants!

 

[Yankees2772]

I hate all New Jersey Teams (including the giants and jets)

I guess it is ironic that I hate winning teams but am a Yankee fan, but I guess I just hate the rest of them.

Giants over the Pats

Its a good thing nobody picks the G-MEN, nobody did it against the Bucs, Cowgirls, or the Packers. Funny thing is every team we've played in the playoffs (w/ the exeption of the Bucs) we lost to in the season....does this not smell like a "NFL History Moment"?........ we played them better then any other team in the season and Eli has arguably been the best QB in the playoffs. Our D is stepping up when its absolutley needed, and we continue to find ways to win.

I'll put it like this if the Pats would have played the game they played last game against us...they would be home watching the Superbowl.

In order to win all we have to do is "manage" the game if we have good ball control and keep the Pats offensive Time of Possesion to the minimum and keep it in the low 20's we will win.

Thats Right The NYG are in the Superbowl....what happened to a preseason record of 4-11?

wonder what Tiki has to say now.

You know, it's kind of funny that EVERY team that has played the Patriots so far has said the same thing...

I honestly think people overlook the Patriots ability to do the same exact thing and they do it pretty well if I'm not mistaken. Kevin Faulk and Lawrence Maroney ring any bells?

Go Giants!

I am going to safely assume you didn't catch when Cromartie intercepted Brady and proceeded to mock the Pats with Moss', usual, touchdown dance?

w/e, I am kinda enjoying this whole "oh I hate the Patriots because they are dirty or they win too much". Yankee fans must know what I am talking about.

 

[Sabbath]

I am putting money on the Patriots -14.

Welcome, to the Giants fan club then (your sig)
