The thing I love about this match up is that one of these teams has to lose.


The thing I hate about this match up is that one of these teams has to win....lol

All kidding aside it should be a great game.

patriots get their revenge.

have held teams pretty well so far to 20 points and 10 respecitvely in the past 2 games. that bodes well for them.

What a great Championship Sunday. Really looking forward to the rematch at the Superbowl.

There should be a poll, and I'd take the Giants to win it just don't see Eli and the Giants D beasting losing against Brady especially what looks to be without Gronkowski.

Being a Jets fan this was a very tough choice to make.

Low scoring games. I don't think any team should be the favorite at this point. Obviously rooting for my Pats, and I don't think Brady will play as poorly as he did last night. I could see an end score like last nights game. 23-20 or 26-23.

The giants are going to win imo. They can put pressure on Brady as good as any team in the league, and Brady struggles mightily when put under pressure. I dont think Gronk will be a go, so thats a huge loss also. I say Giants 34-21.


but i am not going to watch this anyway, i am on that lets hope the world ends before this game bandwagon. Dont like either team one bit.

the one and only way to take down the Patriots is to put pressure on Brady with just the front four, and boy, the Giants are practically number one in that category.

I think the Patriots would much rather face the 49ers than the Giants, because what the 49ers are known for is their run defense, and the Patriots don't care about a run game.

with all of that said, i can't imagine this guy below not learning from the mistakes of the first meeting. i just see the "one you dare not speak his name" coming up with something special, making adjustments, and scheming to protect Brady in the pocket.

I like the Giants here, I dont see that Pats secondary stopping nicks, cruz, and manningham. Giants priority must be Gronk though.

I don't see the Giants keeping up with the point production and offense of the Patriots if Belichick can scheme a way to protect Brady in the pocket.

Wow, seems like the Patriots might have the "nobody believes in us" factor even as Vegas odds favorites.

How's Gronks injury looking?

I remember wincing when I saw it happened, is he going to make it to the game?

He's not practicing.

I don't think it's a lock he'll make this game, but I'm hopeful.

Oh it's a lock he'll play.

Just doubt he'll be 100%

im interested in seeing the DEFENSIVE FRONTS.

the patriots have a strong run stopping interior. and the giants just flat out get after it on the QB. its going to be fun to watch the giants trying to run. and brady effectively passing with consistency with heavy rush.

Indy seems great so far in terms of weather. I've heard nothing but great things on the way they set things up too so you barley have to go outside.

Great weather! 50's today and beautiful, I cant remember weather like this EVER in february. The city did a great job with this Super Bowl, nothing but positive things so far.

I walked past Michael Irvin and Willie McGinest today and I ate breakfast literally feet from John Clayton and Bob Ryan from the Boston Globe. I had passes to the executive lounge at their hotel, super cool. I also watched the Giants get off the bus bc their hotel is across the street from where I work.
