But there is one factor that even the very best NFC teams, or resurging teams, such as the Giants cannot factor in, is the revenge factor. The Pats have not forgotten losing to the Giants a few years back. Do not count that out.
The revenge factor only seems to work if you have a better team than the other guy and momentum seems to be the driving factor and the Giants have it big time. The Giants will blow the Patriots out this year if they win the NFC as their front four is even better than the one that won in 2008 and New England is not near as good as they were in 2008. I think if the 49ers are victorious they will win too. The NFC is simply better than the AFC right now and the fact that team like the Giants is doing what they are is simply a testament to that fact as their lower seeds can knock off high quality teams like the Packers and the Saints.
There are no more teams left in the hunt that interest me. They can keep a crappy east-west coast SB.
