Superbowl Preview

With the Superbowl matchup between the Pats and G-Men just a few days away, it's time to make some predictions. The Pats come in as the obvious favorite to win the game, but don't discount the Giants just yet. Although the Patriots come in with an 18 game win streak behind them and the motivation to become the first team to go undefeated since the '72 Dolphins, the Giants are waiting patiently for the rematch from December's nailbiter. The Giants come in riding a ten game road win streak and are argueably the hottest team in the league after knocking off the Cowboys and the Packers, the NFC forerunners coming into the playoffs. This highly anticipated rematch will probably draw the biggest audience a sporting event has ever witnessed, so let the fireworks fly as the game lives up to all the hype. Look for Brady and the Pats' passing game to be a big factor in this contest with Maroney setting the pace on the ground. The Patriots may have scored 300 points more than they have given up this season, but a confident Eli Manning will more than likely have the Patriots defense on their heels. In addition, the running back tandem of Jacobs and Bradshaw will be a huge factor. Look for the Giants to come out on top of this high scoring contest with a score of 34-28.
