If it's indoors, it is arena football. It is that simple. Football should not be played in a dome anywhere except an underwater habitat.
Here is WHY The Giants will win. I hate the Cheatriots because Belecheck is so freaking over rated.Without Tom Brady he is nothing.Brady resurrected his career.His first year in New England when he had Drew Bledsoe as his starting quarterback he had a losing season,then Brady came on and the rest is history. Also being objective and getting past my hatred of the patriots,this is why I think the Giants will win as well. I see The Giants winning this from the patriots again.This team is just like that team from 2007,coming on strong at the end of the season and playing well when it needed to to get into the playoffs.Their defense is looking great and that will be too much for tom brady to handle.Three other reasons I expect the giants to win. 1.they own the patriots beating them when they were previously unbeaten in the superbowl four years ago and this year on the road at foxboro and they did not have one of their first string receivers then or their featured running back either due to injurys.this time they have them both and that will be too much for the suspect pats defense to handle. 2.The patriots have not played a GOOD football team in the playoffs yet.The Broncos? what a joke.Teabow has been exposed that when he faces a GOOD team,he is a horrible quarterback. and come on the Ravens with Joe Flacco at quarterback? get serious.that team will never get to the superbowl with flacco at quarterback. Plus more than anything,The Patriots shouldnt be there in the superbowl. People can blame the loss all they want on the ravens kicker but even if he makes that field goal all that does is send them into overtime which guaranteed them nothing.It never should have come down to that kick.That reciever in the end zone dropped a pass that was knocked out of his arms that a GOOD receiver would have hung on to so since the ravens are the team that should be there and really are the better team defensively,the pats have finally met their match. 3.this game is going to take place in Indianapolis.Colts fans have first shot at the tickets and you got to remember,this is the city that loves and worships Peyton Manning and not only do they hate Tom Brady and the patriots,Peytons little brother Eli is playing there so most fans will naturally be rooting for little brother Eli to win especialy since the Giants fan base travels extremely well much better than the patriots fan base does so it will seem like a home game for the giants and a road game for the patriots which is a big edge for the Giants. __________________
Reverse everything you said there and the outcome will be a 4th super bowl win for the Patriots. Not only is this a redemption game for America's team the Patriots, but Billicheck is considered to be the best coach of all time, and there is no way the Pats are going to lose this game under his tutelage. Bellicheck is working with a team that was last in defense, yet he managed to get this team to the super duper bowl. That fact alone puts the guy on top of the heap. And anyone supporting a pro Boston sports team has that added incentive to see their team beat the dreaded N.Y. teams, such was our happiness in watching the hated Jets take a dive--all the while watching rex ryan moan and whine over their demise. Patriots on top of the world. Tom Brady...greatest QB of all time.
The schedule did not lie. New England did not beat a plus .500 team all year and one of those losses was to the Giants. A good team...but not a great one to me. They went as far as Brady could take them.
They beat one over .500 team and that just had to be the Ravens, of all teams. Not to worry, karma was a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) for them tonight
Giants were fortunate to win, they were outplayed. Pats made uncharacteristic mistakes plus bad luck with bounces on two fumbles. 12 men on the field that resulted in a TD and a likely game winning pass dropped by Welker...you don't see either of those too often.
I sure hope you woke up from that dream in time to watch the World Champion New York Giants lift that Lombardi trophy over their heads. Also, you may want to stick to predicting the SEC, where you seem to thrive more.
The Pat fans can cry a river. How about the obvious pass interference that wasn't called or the convenient holding penalty that was called against the Giants that stopped a drive? The Giants hold the Trophy, that's what matters.
Hey RJ, The above is my post from 1/25/2012. You have been wrong for most of all your predictions. 2 days ago the line moved from Patriots -3.5 to -2.5. Call this one six out of seven against the spread. If I'm around next year, you can bet I'll also make the right call on the SB. Forget the Broncos, they are a hyped up QB team with not substance. If you buy into hype, you oviously do not know what to look for when picking a winner. My secret is, I have no favorate team, and I seek other forms of information in my analysis.
The great Brady choked time and again and the weak NE defense was humiliated into purposly giving up a touchdown with a minute to go...Manning got the ball on his own 10 yard line and moved the ball on the Pats as if they were a high school team....Bill Belichick is a convicted cheater....Hopefully now we won't have to keep hearing about Brady being rated along with Bradshaw, Montana, Aikman, Elway and the true greats who didn't choke when playing in big games....NE lucked their way into the bowl and then just choked as soon as they met a quality opponent!!! LOL
Brady was quite excellent in this game, and I am a Bears fan. He played as well, if not better than Manning. The difference in this game was that the Giants got the bounces, and the Giants receivers made the plays when they needed them, and the patriots receivers dropped the ball(literally).
Brady also threw an interception, while Manning did not. And of the three Giant fumbles, none of them were Eli's fault. It was 10-9 at halftime. The Patriots went up 17-9 at the very beginning of the second half, and were not able to score again. On the other hand, Eli drove his team down for two touchdowns to help them win. And Brady had around 57 seconds at the end to create a last minute miracle, but he was unable to do so. I cannot agree that Brady outplayed Eli.
The drive stalled because of drops, just like the previous drive to put the game away was blown by drops by Welker AND Hernandez!!
I'm confused - are you talking to me? I'm the one who stated the Giants should be favored. My picks have been up & down, some right, some wrong. I don't gamble anymore, haven't in years & believe me, sports is much more fun that way. By what you're stating, you should be a millionaire by now. Good luck with all that.
Uncharacteristic? I think they were -5 in turnovers in the pre-Super Bowl playoffs. The Giants beat them twice this year...the Giants are a better team then the Patriots...end of story.
With the exception of the Broncos game the Pats have not played extremely well this postseason, their 31st ranked defense showed pretty often too. Unlike the 2010 Patriots who were pretty (*)(*)(*)(*) good.
That is simply nonsense!! They are really evenly matched, and the Giants got all the breaks yesterday. If the giants didn't get all the breaks, and Gronkowski was healthy, the Pats would have won.
On Brady's first pass of the game he was pressured and threw it away for a safety while being smacked down by Justin Tuck. Brady as usual, was on the ground whining for a roughing the passer call....Tuck turned around and gave the "V" sign indicating that pretty boy Tom was a vagina....LOL....That set the tone for the game and Brady choked over and over while Eli stepped up in the clutch and won the game...Kudos to Tom Coughlin and his gritty G-Men!!!
Belicheat and his sissy pretty boy QB have been exposed as the over rated frauds they truly are....Greatest of all time, my ass...If you're talking about coaches, how about Vince Lombardi, Chuck Noll, George Halas, Tom Landry and Bill Walsh...Brady is not even in the same league as Montana, Staubach, Bradshaw, Unitas or Elway. Roethlisberger, Rodgers, Brees and Manning are tougher and better right now. Brady has made a career of racking up big numbers against crappy teams like Buffalo and Miami....
