NEW YORK GIANTS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Giants have 2 weeks to prepare for the impossible and they won't be burned like they were in regular season. They stopped the Cowboys in postseason, they can do it to the Pats.. My opinion, Giants win by 3 points... Pressure Brady all day, take Moss out of the equation, make Brady have a bad day and we have this game'
I think America is looking at a huge upset for this years Superbowl...

Going with the Pats minus the 13.5 points weather wont be a factor and looking for big plays from the pats, but I have sucked in Post Season betting.

I haven't done too well either Wrigley, I know how you feel there. The Giants did play them tough but it was at Giants stadium also. Weather will not be a factor in this game though that is very true.

I got the Giants +13.5 before the NFC Championships although I thought my Pack +10 was more likely vs the Pats!
I'm kind of worried since its unlikely Brady will have 2 bad games in a row or Moss will have 3? I think the Packer CBs matched up better but NY is getting enough DL pressure in the postseason to help their coverage units. I still see the Pats putting up 30-35 points with the fast track, nice weather, and 2 weeks to prepare!
The reason I still love the Giants is Eli and his emerging weapons on offense...Bradshaw, Steve Smith, and Boss are all stepping up and playing w/confidence! More importantly, Burress looked ALOT healthier vs the Pack and should have a huge game! The Pats are getting little to no pass rush currently and even a hobbled Phillip Rivers had plenty of time to look downfield or wobble to his right! I like the Over in this game as well....last matchup was 38-35 of course!!
Brady and the Pats probably get their 4th but they are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 and Eli & Co. will get their shots in and have the chance to pull the upset if they win the turnover battle unlike the Chargers! I think the Giants can make the Pats work underneath and limit quick scores while eating some clock on offense if they give Bradshaw more carries and leave Jacobs for more short yardage!

Currently on a 6 streak side wins.(NFL)
PATRIOTS will show week 17 game was nothing and it was their off game. Patriots will show why they deserve to be 19-0. I believe they will be on top notch from running the ball to tom brady, without any drop passes like they were playing in the beginning of the year. Patriots will win the Superbowl in a 2nd half blow out. The Giants are playing well, however they are still in the NFC...weak. Have u seen the NFC vs AFC spread? If they Giants had to battle Colts, Chargers, Jags, they probaly would of been out already. Those are what you call the top crop of the NFL. Patriots will dominate. Believe me.
PREDICTION:
GIANTS 3 6 3 0 FINAL 35-12
PATS 7 7 14 7
(sportsbook currently -12.5)
5* PATS - 12.5
3* Over - 54
Good luck!

Moss has pretty much been out of the equation for the last two games...and Brady thrives under pressure. Just sayin'

It looked like Brady was about 40% vrs SD. I believe
he was under the weather that game and will be
ready enough to make another good showing.

Pats -12.5
In the games the Pats have not covered, weather greatly effected Brady and the passing game. Look how the pats did in September when the weather was nice. That's what I expect in Arizona

HEY all,
I think it wiill be a tough game untill first half, Although I believe Brady will still keep a good head and have control. As the Pats stay on there game plan they will pull ahead and that is were I believe the Giants will realize it is not gonna happen.
I believe Giants may can cover there spread +12 1/2 but will not win the game.
People can say what they want!!!! Brady is a true Sportsmen and he is unbelievable at keeping calm, And staying on the game and getting results under serious pressure!!!! Brady has not run his mouth one time, But he was quoted at an interview this week by saying basicly It is not what I say but what I do and how the outcome turns out, as he grined and said he is looking forward to taking another ring home this week
