Look what the total points were when these 2 met in Week 17! Anyway, my final prediction is New England wins 32-21. I don't think the Giants can both cover New England's receivers, AND still have enough to stop the Pats running game.

I'm rooting for a Giant upset, but I'm not planning on watching it. I'll more likely crank up some music and drink a few beers.

quote: ORIGINAL: James Ward quote: ORIGINAL: ORANGE They got caught the first game of THIS season. Then perhaps the Giants should forfeit some games considering their starting guard just got indicted for steroid distribution. Perhaps every one over 300 lbs should be considered a cheater! "How is it that NFL players are randomly tested for steroids and yet continue to get larger all the time? Critics say the reasons are obvious: Players have found ways to circumvent or beat the tests, and the league doesn't try very hard to catch cheaters. Since the league began sanctioning players for positive tests in 1989, only 35 players have been caught—and 17 of those came in the first two years." http://www.slate.com/id/2067149/ JUST got indicted? OK, I am no Einstein but I am going to take a wild guess and say you probably are not the sharpest knife in the drawer. The article you linked was posted Wednesday, June 19, 2002. [:D] And now we have more accusations of the Patriots cheating. And to answer the question on how the Giants are going to cover the Patriots receivers? I’m not sure it will be necessary when Brady is lying on his back.

quote: ORIGINAL: ravinhood I've just never liked the playoff structure of football as opposed to baseball. They should play the best 2 out of 3 and eliminate wild card teams completely. We have a 4 division structure now in both the nfc and afc so there's no reason it couldn't be changed to a 2 of 3 and play two games a week. One on Sunday and one on Thursday. ;) This would put these cinderella teams like the Giants out of the playoffs and then the best teams would be playing for the championships. Dallas was hardly overrated, Romo just didn't have his stuff like he normally does in the 2nd half. They had two opportunities to win in the 4th and just blew them both. I personally don't think they get the ball to TO enough. He chucks it off to Whitten like he's the only player on the team sometimes. Barber played excellent, but, they got his number rather early and started tackling him below the waist and he didn't get the huge yardage after that. He's no Emmitt Smith that's for sure, but, he is a bull. It just goes to show on any given Sunday a 2nd rate team can get lucky and win. Remember back when Aikman first started they went like 1-15 that year and beat the super bowl champ Washington Redskins, not in the super bowl mind you, but, still in regular season they beat the best team in football. I still look for New England to pulverize the Giants as they should because they are such a better team overall. But, with the way cinderella has been playing in the playoffs a miracle could happen and they might get to goto Disneyland. ;) Nah, keep as is.. If ya wanna play wit da big dogs...just win. It shouldn't matter if you went 16-0 in the regular season and then flopped in week 2 of the playoffs. Next time bring your game and leave your press clippings at home. I have no remorse for those who boo hoo hoo that thier teams lost even if they had a better regular season record. And no, I hate the giants and pats equally (bills-n-packers fan)and could care less who wins tonight. Something to do with Tuna. I'll be grinding LOTRO

Three letters HGH. It would be like trying to find insulin in a person. How do you search for something that is naturally in the body? I assume they just look for abnormal levels. Things like that are so person from person different it's like looking for the proverbial needle. Example, I went to the doctor with a shoulder pain complaint. He had blood work done and my sed rate was 1200 ( it shows inflamation and other things ). He freaked and sent me to another specialist, who took one look at me and said " you lift a lot of heavy weights don't you" I said yes he said that's why the number is where it's at. The first doc knew all about it also, and he was a specialist. Along the same lines in any CVS etc. there are tons of products to help you pass drug tests, and I've been told by druggies they work. So, I assume there are plenty of ways to beat these tests also. But there are plenty of " legal " weight and muscle building products that do work, so it would be natural for players to be bigger anyway. This is an example of how sports have changed in the last 25 years +. I read that when Wayne Gretsky started professional hockey the teams had no trainers no nutritionist, nothing in the way of getting stronger or faster than just practice. I know that a running back for the Packers in the mid 60's was the first person to start using weights in pro football ( Jim ? I'll kick myself on this one ). That also goes along way to show why players are 25% and more larger now than then. You also have to factor in the population also. If you have .5% of the population as big as lineman at 100,000,000 how many more do you have at 250,000,000?

OK, now that it's 7-3, I might start watching. Besides that, we got Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at halftime.

ravinhood -> RE: Superbowl XLII Predictions (2/4/2008 2:42:17 AM)
What a boring first half. Brady is playing like a pre school kiddie garten QB. He doesn't even look like he's excited about the game at all. Woulda been better if it had been Colts and Packers. ;)

sullafelix -> RE: Superbowl XLII Predictions (2/4/2008 3:19:40 AM)
Brady looks like something but not bored. He's beginning to look like cry babies Steve Young and Tony Romo when things don't go their way. Say what you will about Favre but I've never seen another QB give a high five to a lineman who just smashed him to the ground. He also doesn't start yelling at his front line about it either.

Sitting watching this Superbowl thingie in ol' Blighty. I don't mean to be rude, or anything, but was this sport invented as a cure for insomnia?

ravinhood -> RE: Superbowl XLII Predictions (2/4/2008 4:01:57 AM)
This game is fixed to beat the over that I betcha a million people bet on. The +12 looks like it will hold up though for those that took NY and the points. :)

Frankly, I preferred watching "Puppy Bowl IV" over at the Animal Planet channel. Lots of action there... still waiting for the results of the "MVP" (Most Valuable Puppy) polling. I'm pulling for the Fox Terrier myself though the Beagle has had some great tackles. [:D]

Bet there is a turnover this drive by Giants

ravinhood -> RE: Superbowl XLII Predictions (2/4/2008 5:05:03 AM)
Giants WIN THE PENNANT GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT....no...wait....that's another sport isn't it? lol Football is rigged I can't believe the GIANTS are superbowl champs and were a wild card team. I hate wild card teams getting into the playoffs they need to do away with wild card teams.

Wow...only got to see the second half, but who cares? I am quite happy the Giants won. And from what I saw...what Mensa reject devised New England's offensive game plan? Gee...Brady's getting killed...because you're TRYING TO THROW every friggin' down, morons! Oddly enough, it reminded me of the godawful Rams gameplan against New England when they pulled the huge upset over the Rams, who refused to run the ball. sulla : Uhhh...the only time Steve Young was in a super Bowl, dude, he set a record with 6 TD passes. [:D]

quote: ORIGINAL: Arctic Blast quote: ORIGINAL: ORANGE As for the Cowboys I think that Romo is overated. He has a good O line and usually a fair amount of time but he still did not close. I just do not see him as a franchise QB. As for the Patriots-Giants I think the Giants will pull it off. There is a huge amount of pressure on the Pats and I really do not think that Brady is the best QB in the NFL. He is very good, but not great. He just haa a lot of time this season and Randy Moss and Welker make him look great. Giants 24 - Pats 20 So, if it's just his receivers, how do you explain all the previous seasons, putting up big numbers while throwing to 'all stars' like Reche Caldwell and David Givens? Is Brady the best ever? no, it's insanely premature when people start making comments like that. Is he the best in the game right NOW? He just might be. Besides, you don't seem to mention how the decimated Giants secondary is going to COVER Moss and Welker. And, for me, that's the biggest reason that New England will win the game. New york has a good pass rush, but New England has a good offensive line, so they aren't going to be in Brady's face every snap like they were in Garcia's face every snap in the Tampa game. Also, the Pats have re-discovered their running game, so you can't just play pass D every down. I think it's going to be a closer game than the line indicates, probably something like 29-19. Brady looked like a great quarterback. [:D] Here you go Arctic Blast. [image]http://www.tonymarini.com/Images/eating_crow.jpg[/image] Something for you to eat this week. Time to find a new bandwagon.

quote: ORIGINAL: Twotribes quote: ORIGINAL: ORANGE quote: ORIGINAL: Arctic Blast You STILL have not said how New York's defense is going to stop those receivers. I personally think just falling back on the "They cheated!" excuse is pretty lame, especially since they have been watched like hawks since they were busted in. what. week THREE? So, how do you explain all of their wins SINCE then? It will be easy to stop them. The Giants will play with honor, skill and integrity. These are things the Patriots do not have. Even if your claims were true about the Pats, your response here is pretty silly. One can look back through history and find where ina all manner of events your 3 traits you claim the Giants will use have in fact lost to a forc e with out those traits. It worked this time. I believe honor, skill and integrity are traits that the US Marines as well as other armed forces around the world covet. I'll stick with them on this. [:)]

Marauders -> RE: Superbowl XLII Predictions (2/4/2008 4:30:02 PM)
Other than on the last two drives, Brady and Manning both played it safe and were not spectacular. I wonder why the MVP went to Manning when it was the Giants defense that did more to win the game. It was a good game. Defensive football is like watching a great pitched baseball game.

What a great ending. 87 yards to go against a team that hasn't lost all year. Must have a TD. 2 1/2 minutes left. Scorce and you're champs. Don't and you lose. It was all you could ask for. A fantastic finsih if there ever was one!

CJMello63 -> RE: Superbowl XLII Predictions (2/4/2008 5:19:56 PM)
If they can keep the momentum going into next year the Cowboys and Pack will have some serious work to do. Good game but aggrevating to watch from my perspective.
