~Spirited Prediction: Pats 34, Giants 17~
That's my prediction as well.
I've never seen a game from WDW, only on DCL. Maybe I should hit up the ESPN club.
Oh, and the Giants will win.
Lot of confidence for a team that went 9-7 during the regular season.
One of those 9 wins was against the Patriots... :wave:
And don't forget, the 9-7 team took down the defending champs...
Well aware.
Also aware that our 3 best defensive players didn't play that game.
Packers were overrated this year. They had the worst defense in the entire league. Their schedule was cake (as was the Pats for the most part.) The Giants win against the 49ers was more impressive.
No doubt, the Giants are playing GREAT football, and I wouldn't want to bet on this game. Besides being a lifelong Pats fan, a few reasons I think they're going to win:
1.Tom Brady didn't play well in the AFC Championship game. He never has 2 bad games in a row.
2.Under Belichek, the Pats have only lost to the same team back to back twice.
3.Two weeks off for Belichek to prepare for a team is like 2 months to other coaches. And being it's a team they've already played this year, it's just that much more of an advantage.
4.Both teams have weak defenses. The Giants offense is capable of putting a lot of points on the board. The Patriots offense is known for putting a lot of points on the board.
5.Desire. The one blemish on Brady and Belichek's resume is the Super Bowl loss to the Giants. Bill can say whatever he wants, but Tom is the most competitive and smartest player I've ever seen in the game. He wants this BAD. Great players find a way to win. He's one of the, if not the greatest ever.
Let's start talking about politics. It's safer. :lookaroun

It's not nearly as much fun ... actually depressing enough to start thinking about defecting to Canada!
People have Super Bowl parties. You know anyone that throws election parties?
And I tend to believe the Super Bowl is gonna be a helluva lot more competitive than the big election anyway.
The Giants were the most hurt team in the NFL, and still managed a winning record. It is evidenced by the second half of their season. This is why they have had a great post season, everyone is healthy.
Just saw the post that they will have the MVP motorcade in the MK on Monday at 1:20pm. I will be there watching either Eli Manning or Victor Cruz riding down Main St. USA.
You're probably right.
Anyways, I'm not getting too hopeful. Gronk still hasn't practiced yet. No Gronk, no title.
He practiced (limited) yesterday...and he will play in the Super Bowl.
Probably just did walk-throughs.
My prediction...
Pats 31
Giants 27
Either way...it'll be a great game...I don't see this being a blow-out in either direction.
I like the way this is shaping up. Giants and their fans are positive they're going to win and not afraid to talk about it. Pats and their fans are just chillin' saying "let's play the game on Sunday". Kind of a reverse from 4 years ago.
