so you B[b]ELI[/b]EVE ?

[T3hRaven]

I want Brady to win, as I'm the one Ravens fan who doesn't despise the Pats. For whatever reason, I really don't like Eli Manning.

[RavensAllTheWay]

Ugggghhhhh

[Wacko4Zacko]

How much of an impact has the passing of MHK has had on Patriots? Any chance that the MHK is enough to help Pats win Superbowl.

[Clutch Ravens]

I'm not even watching the Super Bowl this year. Every year to this point I've been able to look at the teams and say "Yeah, they fought their way there and deserve to battle it out." This year? I see two exceptionally lucky teams that aren't the best. I'd say 9 games out of 10 the Giants would lose to the Saints and Packer. I'd say we'd at the very least split with the Pats 5/5 if we played 10 times. I'd say the Steelers'd do the same. Hell, even the Texans would likely split it 4/6.

For the first time I don't feel like the teams in the Super Bowl deserve to be there. I look at the match-up this year and think "It's better to be lucky than good."

Posted that elsewhere but it definitely applies here. This Super Bowl match-up excites me as much as a Browns vs Jags pre-season game.

Nope....I dont believe that stuff has any bearing on football games.

I think Giants win off great play by Eli Manning and in the house that Peyton built, Eli fully emerges from Peyton's shadow.

What do we all hear, it doesn't matter how you got there, we always hear, it doesn't matter how you make the playoffs, and the road you take to get there. So quite frankly, luck or not, it doesn't matter how they got to the Super Bowl, all that matters is that they are in the Super Bowl.

[img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/ravensquote.gif[/img] giants are going to kill the pats all up and down the field

[ROH522155]

This thread sucks...

[Ravenslifer]

Who knows, maybe if he wins his 4th ring Brady won't be so hungry to win another and we can stomp them next year. If only we had an offensive coordinator with a brain, we probably would have.

[makaha]

It must blow to be a Jets fan right about now.

Not! Going! To! Watch!

Idk if [i]your[/i] serious, but I'm seriously contemplating not watching either. And I know the Giants are the "road" team and the Pats are "home," but at least let the Giants wear blue and Pats wear white so I can differentiate between this game, SB 42 and their week 9 matchup earlier this year, lol.

[Ed_Reed20]

Not only do I want the Giants to win, I'm confident they will. The Pats aren't that impressive to me.

[slowj0e]

Giants win big 31-17. The greatest Qb of all time wont be able to dink and dunk his way down the field against the Giants like he did against the ravens. I wonder why Brady is so accurate when he is throwing five yard passes every play. (sarcasm)

[MsMarvel73]

Not watching even if that means sitting in my apartment alone watching cartoons.

I'll send good wishes the way of the Giants but I refuse to watch.

[Gordo52]

I dont really care, but the Giants will win,
Defense still wins championships, special teams just loses it.

Exactly.

Get Brady off his spot and that offense can't do anything.

Glad to see I'm not the only one refusing to watch the game.

[ravens rule]

Giants can score with there awesome trio of receivers (Cruuuz) and they can bring intense pressure with Jpp,Tuck, and Osi.

[JO_75]

Just reading an article about how Osi went on a tirade during the off-season where there was a whole ton of speculation that he was going to be traded. Everything from not speaking to the GM, not showing up in Camp, and yet here the Giants keep Osi, he has 3.5 sacks in the playoffs and now he is getting ready to play in another Super Bowl with the Giants.

[JO_75]

Madden 12 Has already simulated the Super Bowl and according to Madden Simulation, the Giants once again beat the Patriots, except on a last second FG to win 27-24.

[scrock]

I think the Giants win, they have such a good defense

Brady would need to score a lot, Gronk will not be 100% but they have enough other guys to step up, their defense will give up a lot of big pass plays if u can protect your QB

[FerrariFan87]

I wanna see the Giants whoop the Pats again and avenge our "loss."

[bpytnjr58]

Hoping after Sunday the Pats will join the Vikings Bills and Broncos with four Super Bowl losses.

[berad]

Getting tired of the media coverage... some idiot on ESPN just called it "Suup 46" and I immediately changed the channel.

[IMissMattStover]

The apathy on this forum is overwhelming.

[display name]

Go NYG! Still be fun to watch!

[JO_75]

Wow... this only has three pages, amazing. Guess nobody really cares about a rematch of a Patriots-Giants Super Bowl lol.

Final Prediction:

Giants 27
Patriots 24

Just like SB 42, the Patriots lead late and the Giants have to make a comeback. The score is 20 to 24, Eli Manning once again leads his team down the field for a comeback and finds Victor Cruz for the game winning Touchdown as the Giants win 27 to 24.

[Jamal]

You guys need to stop being so bitter.

If this game is anywhere near as good as the last meeting, we're in for a treat.

I really don't care who wins. Just want to be entertained.

[Moderator 3]

I'm more interested in the Puppy Bowl. I heard there's a new ref this year.
