Which team will win Super Bowl XLII?

[Goodsport]

And why? :)

[monkey]

The Patriots will win, because they are the better team.

Hats off to the Giants. They kick ass, and I actually predicted that they would be in the Superbowl after they played such a great game against the Patriots in the final week of the regular season.

But I just think that the Patriots are better.

[metalinvader]

PATS! (Hey I'm from New England,What can I say!) Better team all around.It's going to be one close game and it wouldn't shock me to see the Pats stumble...It's happened before.

[indifan101]

I'm still in shock and awe. It aint easy being a Packer right now so I'm not gonna really say anything.

[No Ticket]

I think the Patriots are better... but I'm going to side with the Giants anyway. We shall see.

Go Giants! Those Patriots need to be taught a lesson that they'll never forget!:whip:

Those sound like fighting words to me!;) :p

This has been one hell of a year for New England sports fans..First the Sox and now the Pats...

Red Sox? Go Yankees! But that's another argument for another day.:)

lol..Right,right..Another day and a thread I hope I never see here...There is nothing worse then a Sox vs.Yankees discussion!:p

If the Giants Secondary plays a touch better, I really think they can beat the Pats. If you can put Brady in the dirt (think Ravens game) you can rattle him. I say the Giants, with the line.

Which team should I root for in this game? :confused:


Reason for me to root for the New England Patriots:
It'd be interesting to see a team go 19-0-0 for the first time in NFL history, and Tom Brady is a local Bay Area guy (San Mateo) who grew up attending San Francisco 49ers games and was a big fan of Joe Montana.

Reason for me to root for the New York Giants:
New York represents the same Conference (NFC) as my San Francisco 49ers.

It's possible the Giants could step up their game another notch, but I'm not sure they can pull that off. The Pats can be vulnerable and I certainly don't see them covering the spread, but then again they've pullled out close victories every time this season.

In any case, I'd have much preferred NE vs. GB.

[ReggieSnake]

Yeah, I wish the Packs had made it. This hasn't been my year- I'm a Yankees fan too.;) (Joba's going to make it big this year; I'm excited for March...different topic)

I think the Pats are going to blow the Giants away, we'll see though; the NY has made it this far...

[Aaron H]

The Pats. They're statisically the better team.

Wouldn't this also be a reason to root for the Pats?

I'm a huge Steelers fan, and I'd hate to see the Brownies, Ravens, or Bungles win the SB.

Ska, spoken like a man after my own heart! We are lucky that we will NEVER have to worry about the Browns, Bungels, ratbirds winning XL. Of course if we don't get an O-line we don't have to worry about the Steelers doing it either.

I think if that AWESOME Giants pass rush can stuff the run off the corners, and put Brady in the dirt they will win, unless Eli screws up and throws 15 picks

Question:Which team will win Super Bowl XLII?

Answer: The one with the most points at the end of the game.

[NamedAfterDaDog]

The Giants just kicked some a**. It was a totally defensive game, and it relied on the passing ability and how well the DB's could cover in the last quarter.
I was rooting for the Packers originally, but I (sorry to Pat fans) hate the Patriots, so I chose Giants from the beginning. Great job, Eli, and hats off to the rest of the Ol' Giants. And the Patriots played a very close, neck to neck, tow to two point blank game. They gave them all they got till the end, but it was just one of those times where you tripped on the shoelace at the finish line. So hats off to both teams. Although Manning is now my new hero.




Again, sorry to the fans, but the looks on Tom Brady's and Randy Moss's faces at the end were priceless. :D

[metalinvader]

The end was close..I thought that time out with one second left surely would have saved the Pats!:rolleyes:

Thank you, thank you, thank you! As I collect my winnings!


Congrats Giants, the better team won!

lol

I didn't expect the Giants to win, but I will confess I was cheering for them. Unless there's a Chicago team playing the game, I always cheer for the underdog. Actually, even if there is a Chicago team playing I still cheer for the underdog because that team is likely to be Chicago. Jeez we suck :rolleyes: :p

[IndySeven]

Hooray! The Giants won! What a game!:up:

[metalinvader]

What really sucks is that I came THIS close to making a bet with someone because I said that the there is a chance the Giants could win.He thought I was nuts for even suggesting it and wanted to bet.I backed down because...Let's be honest...We all thought the Pats were going to win...Damn,I could have made some money!

I was cheering for the Pats..But I gotta admit this was pretty cool..
