Might be a little early but what the hell...Questions is self explanatory. I hate the Pats more than anything, I hate the giants too but I have to root for them so go NY.

Patriots because I've chosen Dallas and Green Bay the last two weeks and the Giants won.

Jets fan here. I have no hate for the Giants. But I do have hate for the New England Patriots (and the Boston Celtics). So go Giants!!!!!!!!!!

Pats will be favored by 2 touchdowns, and are going for history. They are an experienced team, and the Giants will be coming off a bye. The Pats should be favored to win.

Giants can win, but to say they will, is being presumptive. I personally hope they do, but will see here. The Giants played them tight at home, where they have a worse record than on the road.

I think the Giants have a chance and it might be a very good game, but if I was going to bet it would be on the Pats. This of course has nothing to do with who I WANT to win

Giants all the way

Bet spotting the Giants two touchdowns? No way I bet that. If it were straight up, I see maybe here. But not with two touchdowns. Giants lost by 3 to them, with the Pats on the road.

It will be something like a 9,10,11 point spread, i think.

And you cant look at a regular season game even if it meant alot.
If you think eli is good in the hot weather (like arizona), brady is a guy who is probably the best hot weather gun slinger ive ever seen. I think the patriots win the game, but itll be close in the first half.

Tom brady is the best (arguably) playoff QB in NFL history. they are 18-0 for a reason and tom bradys record in the playoffs and qB rating all time in the playoffs is something like 17-1 and 120. I dont think the giants can take down this beast

pats by 15

it might be close, but giants will not win. brady will pick them apart all game long.

I like our chances, but I don't feel comfortable about it. In warmer weather, on a neutral field... the Golden Boy could very well go off. I'm torn between shortening the game, and letting Eli loose like the last game of the regular season. My head tells me the former is the better gameplan. While my heart says keep going at the Pats. If Plax and the whole O-Line is healthy, Gilbride might just open it up again. But we can't go 'prevent' like we did in the fourth in the 16th game. We have to keep scoring if we open it up (pick a track, and stick to it). Thirty five points wasn't enough to beat them the first time around...

I was confident that we could beat the Cowboys and Packers. I'm not so sure about the Patriots. Only way I can see us winning is if Tom Brady has two INTS. Which is rare for him in a superbowl. Their offense is just too good, you saw last game we scored 35 and they scored 38. Its going to be tough

New York all the way Baby! We avenged loses to Dallas and Green Bay.
If it were not for the late interception thrown by Ely we may have won the game. I like the Giants defense. If they can put pressure on Brady we will have a great chance for an upset.

The offense has also improved. They have to give far more touches to Ahmad Bradshaw. This kid is Tiki with speed and power. Jacobs is slow, most of the time he is very easy to bring down. Our receivers look great and Manning is coming into his own.

Jacobs is not slow at all. You only think that because he is big. The staff knows how to distribute the carries right now, don't mess with success.

As far as the game goes, you don't pick against your team and I sure as he!! won't, Jints all the way.

I want to ask you guys a question. When you have more than one NFL team in your city like the Jets and Giants, how do you decide which one to to be a fan of? And they both play in the same stadium which seems like it would make it even harder.

some people are raised as jets fans..some as giants. but for me its just the fact that the jets blow and the giants are the better team

Care to explain to me how the Jets "blow"?

The Giants blew last year, the jets sure didnt. This year, the script flipped and the jets sucked, yes, but you dont judge franchises on 1 year because every year changes. the giants were 1000 to 1 odds to make the superbowl this year and most experts thought they would win 3 games. look what happened?

The Jets made the AFC title game in 1998, won the division in 2002, made the playoffs in 00,01,04, and 06 and won 3 playoff games in that span. Hows that sucking?
