So why did you make that statement in a reply to a comment about the Giants? Nothing baseless about it - the Patriots were caught cheating this year (they were punished and they apologized) - that is what they lost.
As for the Giants, sure, I think the Giants have a chance, a good one.
Really. Can you name the last Superbowl where a team was favored by 14 points? The Redskin beat the Giants in week 14 - (the Redskins really kicked their butts) - the Giants look to be more lucky than able to beat the Patriots.
I hope you are right - I think it would a be perfect ending for this season to have the Patriots lose. But I really thought the Packers had a better chance (yeah, what do I know). It is a bit hard to root for a team in the division of the team I have been cursed to be a life-long fan of is in but I really dislike the Patriots...so I am conflicted.
Hope you are right - I just doubt it
IIRC it was the 2001 season when the Rams were favored by 14 despite barley winning in NE against their SB opponent.
And we all know how that game ended.
