If the Pats offensive line plays like they did last week against Jacksonville then the offense should be fine.

I agree Jax’s defense was as good as any the NE saw this year... but SD’s defense is a bit of a wildcard. I give SD a 20% chance of winning.

From The Onion, normally not posted here but really, really full of insightful information you will learn nowhere else.

Well worth the pregame read.

What can I say as a Giants fan? Should we even play the game?

But seriously folks, FWIW, here's how I see the day playing out:

--If the Bolts were not a SoCal team in this weather they would have a chance
--If the Bolts had healthy Rivers and LT they would have a chance
--So, they have NO chance. This is a game they really DON'T have to play. End of story.

OK: if I hear "frozen tundra" one more time I think I will hurl. They defrost the turf up there, or am I dreaming? And yeah--it will be cold there--but the Giants don't play in Miami.

Here's how I see the factors coming together for the G-men to triumph:

--Overconfidence by the Pack; they killed us in our home opener. I was there and the Pack looked incredible
--Related to the above, we are a different team, esp. on dee.
--Steve Smith; his absence from USC this year was one reason they fell off. Look for Smith to have a great day
--While the GB O tackles are excellent, not so the interior line; Colledge is a babe in the woods and Fred Robbins, Barry Cofield and Antonio Pierce could have a field day up the middle
--MOMENTUM: the Giants have the eye of the tiger

At any rate, this could all be wishful thinking, but I am looking for payback for that 1962 NFL Championship loss to the Pack. I was in high school and lost five bucks to a kid I did not like.

Hopefully it will be a barn-burner. Good luck to the Pack and my beloved Giants, and may the best team win.

Back when the Giants were 0-2, I stuck a fork in them and took them out of the microwave. Shows what I know, and I can’t believe we Giants fans are in the spot we’re in today.

Of course I’d like the Giants to win, but I’ve never had any ill will towards the Packers. Good luck to all.

How mobile can Rivers be? Blitz like hell and that should be enough. The line has gone up a little, to 14 1/2. 38-13 NE still seems about right.
GO PACK!

Its gonna be Green Bay and New England.

That would be a Super Bowl that should be played in Barrow, Alaska.

Yeah, but only half of New York roots for the Giants. Jets fans will probably find something else to do.

Out of all the sports rivalries Giants and Jets fans usually will root for the other, it's not like The Islanders - Devils -Rangers or The Yankees and that other minor league team that plays in the National League.

Go, LT!

Week 1

LdT can continue to be a whiny little bee-yoch.

You know, we'll probably get our asses kicked by the Patriots in the Super Bowl, but I would rather play them than the Chargers.

“So, they have NO chance. This is a game they really DON’T have to play. End of story.”

Hmmm, isn’t that what everyone was saying last week about their chances against the Colts?

Of course, the Pats are better than the Colts but we’ll see. That’s why they play the game.

Yeah...the Bolts will suit up and they WILL play. I was just trying to draw a comparison to the NY-GB game. Hey—if it’s a competitive game, I will be happy and humble.
