I am a Giants fan, so I voted with my heart, but deep down inside, I know that the Patriots will win. All they have to do is drop back and throw deep to Randy Moss, all night long. He cannot be defended.

But I do wanna see the celtics win a championship this year!

Yeah except football has a cap which makes the two teams the complete absolute opposite of each other. When the patriots are allowed to spend 80million more the the 2nd highest payroll team then maybe your post will have something to it!

Except taht there's a Salary Cap in the NFL, whereas the MLB doesn't have one.

Oh, and they Yankees haven't won shit in nearly 8 years, so it's not really a good comparison.

I've been a Pats fan for about 9 years, ever since I lived in New England briefly on a corporate transfer. I actually sat across from some of their offensive line on a flight to Houston once--it was a great experience since I was still very young in my career and those guys had a lot of wisdom to impart to a kid like me.

I think they'll win, despite Brady's injury. As a team they have more depth overall than the Giants. But if there's one thing I've learned in all my years of football fandom, it's never underestimate a Manning, no matter how dorky they are.

The last time Brady hurt his leg in an AFC-CG, a game in which he was pulled and never returned, he went on to win the Super Bowl MVP. And there was no two week break between the games.

+1. But they've been a little inconsistent lately.

The Pats only beat the Giants by 3 points in the regular season, and the Giants weren't playing as well as they have been in the playoffs. With the point spread at 14 points in favor of the Pats, I would like to bet a large sum that either the Giants win, or the point spread will be a lot closer than 14 points.

Actually the last TD was a garbage time TD, even giant fans will admit to that as well as most new york media, factor in also the patriots had 2 starting lineman out along with both of their tight ends on the bench resting.

The giants have a chance as well as any team in this league, but your crazy if you even think for a second that the giants have seen the patriots best shot week 17!

I doubt it expect him to start and win in the last 30secs of the game.....Giants have proven they are for real knocking off teams dallas and greenbay to the superbowl not to mention giving the pats a run for their money in the final game of the season....Giants D is not enough to stop Moss and the threat of Welker underneath unless they can brake the New England line which according to bradys hurry, touches, tackels, and sacks stats will not happen....that line gives Brady all the time in the world to pick apart a team...you can do anything you want but if you don't get to Brady...Game Over

Patriots have an excellent O-Line, but the Giants D have shown that they can wear down the best of them, especially with Strahan in there. It will definitely be interesting to see who wins the battle at the line of scrimmage.

The Giants couldn't beat the Pats at NY, when 3 of the Pat's starting O-Line were resting up for the Playoffs.

Strahan was completely ineffectual against Pats bench players.

Not surprisingly, this is being blown way out of proportion.

[sj001]

Supposedly the ankle injury came during the game against the Chargers during a sack. But he seems to be doing fine now, I don't think it will much of a factor anymore. We shall see of course...

[Cordre69]

The ad agencies will win!

[sj001]

Whomever wins, I really hope this is an exciting game and not a blowout.

I think the Giants have an uphill battle to win, but they have overcome major adversity throughout the playoffs in hostile territory, so they definitely could pull it off.

[Verbal]

Uhh...you've only got two options in your poll, and neither will be the real winner.

Add FOX to the poll, and I'll vote.

[buckshot]

though i'd like neither to win, i hope eli manning gets destroyed to the point where he cries whenever he sees a football ever again. my hatred of the cheatriots is eclipsed by my hatred of the mannings.

just kidding i don't hate the pats THAT much

He can be defended if you clothesline him..........GO BIG BLUE
