Two east coast teams in the Superbowl....boring.
It will be a coronation for the Pats
That's up to the Giants.
They were tough the last time, just not tough enough.
The question is: do the Giants want to be the team that gave the Pats BOTH the 16-0 perfect regular season AND the 19-0 clean sweep?
And do they want to become a 2-2 Super Bowl team?
Don't bet on it.
“It will be a coronation for the Pats”
That’s what the oddsmakers think, but the Patriots only beat the Giants by 38-35 last time. The Giants have just set an NFL record by winning 10 straight road games in a row. The Patriots had better bring their “A” game, or they may lose.
Although I'm not much of an NFL fan, a San Diego-New York contest would have been far more interesting, and I might have actually watched the game. For me, football season concluded with the USC Trojans' victory over Illinois in the Rose Bowl.
I would love to see the Patriots perfect season spoiled.
Before the playoffs started I said the same thing. I didn't think ANY NFC team could beat either the Pats or the Colts. But the Giants are the big unknown factor, and I'm not so sure now.
The Giants are red hot right now. Eli Manning has matured and is not easily ratttled by little mistakes. The Patriots were put to sleep by poor opponents in the last two games and barely beat the Chargers, who couldn't get the ball into the end zone but still made the score close.
