You know, I think the Super Bowl is going to be a blowout win by the Pats. Here's why.
1. Giants and Pats played just a couple weeks back. This gives Pats a huge edge as they have film on what the Giants did against them, not some other random team. The Pats are the best game planners in the league, so with that film, they should be able to neutralize anything the Giants did a couple weeks ago that gave them trouble. Would be better if the Pats were playing a team they have not played this season. No way can anyone argue that Coughlin and crew are equally adept at game planning as Belichick and crew. With two weeks and fresh film, game over.
2. Eli Manning is playing better, and yet, this is his first trip to the big dance. Look for him to falter in the pressure.
3. Tom Brady is the best QB in the league.
Heck, I could go on with other reasons, or expand on some of them, but the first reason is the most significant and determines the outcome in my mind. Giants blew their wad against the Pats a couple weeks ago.
Pats by 21, at least. Going to be a very boring game and the actual game will leave everyone thinking "why did I waste three hours watching that?"
FWIW, I will be cheering for the Giants...I just don't see anyway they can pull it off.
