Just give the Pats the trophy? While I think the Pats will win, I think it'll be a good game. Eli is playing the best football of his career and their team in general is playing awesome.
"Who gives a crap about the Giants except Jmad?" What? How about the thousands, if not millions, of Giants fans and the rest of us who just want to see the Patriots lose? I'm a Steelers fan and don't like Eli for what he did in 2004, but I give them a lot of credit for making it this far.
They ARE a great team. How can you say they're not? That's a joke. They're the NFC Champions and beat the #1 and #2 seeds on the road to get there. Sure you need some luck, but they've won every game they've played in the playoffs and that isn't all luck.
If they aren't a great team, then who is, besides the Patriots? The Colts? They lost to the Chargers. The Chargers? They're great when healthy. The Cowboys? The Packers? Explain to me how the Giants aren't a great team. And don't say "they're just lucky," because every single team gets luck down the road (even the Dolphins). Hell, the Patriots get lucky all the time.
The Giants will compete with the Pats.
They have a great D-line led by Strahan and Umenyiora and because they get so much pressure from the D-line, they drop 6-7 in coverage more than not. That allows them to cover the plethora of Giants recievers and should allow them to contain the Patriots' bread and butter: the dump-off to the RB. If you watch the Patriots, you'll see most of their passes are shorter ones with tons of YAC. The Giants will have their LBs roaming and not blitzing so they should be able to cover to RB out of the backfield. If they tackle well, Brady will be forced to look downfield more, and will have to take more chances.
