SUPER BOWL!


Oh yeeeeeah baby! This is probably the biggest day of my life, as my favorite sports team the NY Giants are led by the unstoppable Eli Manning into Arizona for the big show. I'm about to break this game down from every which way, and I GUARAN-DAMN-TEE that I will be correct. Oh you doubt me? Well lets jump back in time to last year. You can check out this
POST. I predicted that the Colts would win the Super Bowl 28-17 against the Bears. What was the actual final score that year? 29-17 in favor of the Colts. I was ONE point off. This year...no points off.
Ok so lets break it down. You have the hottest team in football right now, The Giants, against a team that could be the best of all time, the Pats. The key here is that the Pats are not playing good. They have looked awful in the playoffs, but are such a great team, that even when awful they can still win. Brady had one of his worst performances against the Chargers, and the sole reason they won was because Maroney took the team on his shoulders. I find this funny because the whole regular season the biggest criticism of the Pats was a weak running game. With Brady possibly injured right now, and not playing well, the Pats will turn to Maroney again. I honestly dont see him being a factor at all. The Giants are great at stopping the run. Lets look at the Packer game. The big concern was Ryan Grant. Ryan Grant tore up the Seahawks the week before, against the G-Men, he was non existant. Who will be a problem for the Giants? Randy Moss. He has had only two catches this whole post season and you can tell he is getting frustrated. The Giants safeties must step up big once again, and they must be very physical with Moss. Eli has to connect to Burress, who is simply on fire right now. They also need to pound the ball with Jacobs to tire out the defense, then bring in the explosive Bradshaw who I think will have a BIG game, a Super Bowl MVP type game. As for the Super Bowl MVP, the likely favorites are Strahan or Eli.
Now lets get ballsy with the predictions. I predict a rather high scoring game, with back and forth blows. One team scores and then the other. Now this is how I think it ends... Tied game with very little time left, Pats with the ball. The Pats drive down and nail a field goal, giving the Giants the ball back with like 1:45. It appears like one last drive to get in field goal range. Now what happens? A deep pass to Burress or Bradshaw breaks off a run and....TOUCHDOWN! Giants win by 4. So you want the Super Bowl score? Here it is....
Giants - 38
Patriots - 34
