Default NFL Superbowl XLII - February 3, 2008

New York Giants v. New England Patriots.

Who would you like to win? Do you think it will be a close game? I would personally like to see a perfect season for the Patriots.

Yeah, but the Patriots vs. Giants game on Dec. 29th (last month) was pretty close. I think it was 38-35. You know the Giants are going to be studying the Patriot's weaknesses so they can try to exploit them, just as the Patriots are going to be studying their own weaknesses to make sure they work on them. I think it's going to be a pretty close game.

The 2007/2008 New England Patriots are probably the best team to ever take the feild. Ever. They have the perfect mixture of offense, defense, special teams, coaching and off-the-feild personnel. They have the most cerebral quarterback of the last twenty years (not necessarily the best playmaker, which I would give to Brett Favre), an over-acheiving receiving core in Moss, Welker and Stallworth, a solid top-5 potential running back in Lawrence Maroney (and another potential top-15 in Kevin Faulk), a solid defensive core on both sides of the ball, the best kicker in the league in Vinatieri.. you just can't combat that kind of arsenal. The Giants have to hope that the Pats make mental mistakes. You can't expect Brady to do that, he's too good, but the receivers and backs need to drop some passes and fumble some carries.

The Giants have the offense to exploit any defense in the league, INCLUDING the Pats, but Eli needs to play the game of his life, Plax needs to shut up and do his talking on the feild, and they need to start running much the same offense as Jacksonville -- two big strong backs (which they have in Brandon Jacobs and Reuben Droughns) splitting carries and pounding the ball on first and second downs, wear down this defense and the points will come. This opens up the passing game, and Plaxico is one of the most dangerous receivers in the league. PREDICTION: if they can get him in the game early and often, Burress = 9 catches, 120 yds, 2 TDs.

I think the Pats will win this game, because I don't think the Giants will go with that scheme. I think they'll get down early, maybe 17-6, and panic and throw on most downs, and the Pats eat up offenses that are in panic mode. The mental game is paramount to them.

FINAL SCORE
N. England: 34
N.Y Giants: 27

I voted for NY. I HAAAAAAAAAATE New England and I'm so fucking pissed (jealous) that they did so fucking good this year! So...I hope it gets spoiled for them. However...I don't think it will...but I can dream.

I wouldn't hope that ever. It would suck so bad if they lost, after coming all this way. The giants already lost like 5 games, this is just another lose for them, you cant say that about the patriots.

A loss in the Super Bowl is never "just another lose". This is a complete new game, previous records and stats mean nothing. Fuck 19-0.

I wouldn't call them the best team EVER. The first game of the year, they cheated. They got saved by very questionable calls in the 4th period against the Ravens, and imo they would have lost to the Chargers, if Tomlinson was able to play the full game, instead of 3 plays. I'm split between seeing the Patriots losing and winning. 19-0 would be good, but seeing another Manning win, would be just as good. The advertisers must be having a field day with either scenario. I think this game will be close, and wouldn't be surprised to see the Giants win. The Giants have won 8 or 9 straight road games.

As good as Brady is, he doesn't have a signature Super Bowl win yet (where he stands out). Their 3 super bowl wins all came off kicks. I think this is the first time Brady has been in the Super Bowl without Vinetari.
