  Should be a good one.
  
  I like the Pats. Brady will bounce back after an off day and be awesome. MVP no doubt.

  Let's go G Men.

  Can't see the hoodie and Brady letting the Giants go 2 - 0 against them in the SB.

  New England avenges the Super Bowl loss from a few years back.

  As I posted earlier.
  
  When the SB as announced for Indy, I never thought that:
  -we would see the Colts earn the #1 pick
  -Indys most hated QB would play for the title
  -Eli would have a chance at his 2nd SB in the town/dome that Peyton built.
  
  You just cant write this stuff.

  BTW,
  
  Mathias Kiwanuka is from Indy. Great for him to go home.∞∞

  Like Bettis did?

  Legacy defining game for Eli. If he wins this, he almost cements himself in Canton, and gets title number 2 before Peyton.
  
  He's got plenty of time left even if he loses, but if he wins this game Eli's entire career and how he is viewed changes from here.

  Giants have had only one turnover in 3 play-off games so far. If they can limit TOs again, I like their chances.

  I actually picked the G men in the preseason to win the SB this season. Seems like recent SB wins are teams that have good seasons the year before, but no playoff success (in this case the Giants went 10-5 and just missed getting in). The teams also have a tuff D and a good QB.
  
  The teams I had my pick narrowed down to were NYG ATL and TB and I went with the Giants. Fortunately I never got around to placing a bet on the 20/1 Giants or I may be collecting a relatively nice chunk in two weeks. Derp!!!!
  
  I'll stick with the Giants. Especially after this game I see them as a team of destiny. Thought their run was up more than a few times tonight. I'd be really proud to be a Giants fan tonight. They showed some guts in this game. WOW.

  Sure you did.

  God the Giants are good....but freaking lucky.
  
  Dumbass punt returner let's ball graze his leg.....then officials blow whistle early which would've gave the 49ers the ball on the 15.....then a should be interception and two 49ers knock it from each other.....and then again in OT....and dumbass punt returner strikes again and ball bounces directly into Giants players arms.....Ginn being out? Jesus
  
  The Giants receivers and defense are tremendous.
  
  Go Patriots!

  Eli has to do a lot more to cement himself in Canton. He has never won a League MVP or been All Pro and has played 8 years with 27,000 yds passing and 185 TD's. Those are not HOF #'s for this era.

  Believe it son. Been telling my wife and best friend all year. I realize no one here will believe it but doesn't really matter one way or the other. Like I said I have a little system to pick. Don't know if it is just dumb luck that I happened to get it right but I did (so far, they still haven't won anything).
  
  Don't hate me cuz you ain't me. #thegreatprognosticator.
• I Am Ahab

  Actually if you wanna look back to one of my posts in some thread having to do with who will hand the pack their first loss I said the G men would get them and that would be the turning point in their season on the way to the SB, as they are who I predicted to be this years winner.
  
  Doesn't quite prove that I said it preseason but proves even when they were playing like shit I was sticking by my pick.

  Except the Giants lost to GB in the regular season and the Chief handed the Pack their first loss.

  Darn it, did they? I'm saying that I picked the Giants to win the SB before the season started and someone was saying I'm lying. Try to keep up.
  
  Never implied that I was right on calling that they would beat the Pack. Irrelevant to the first thing. I've been wrong plenty of times before. Just saying I was right on this one thing.
• BearBoy69

  

  on the topics of who's right and who's wrong i picked NE to win over BAL by 17. i was wrong about the score, BUT i still was right about them winning.
• I Am Ahab

  Best SB prediction I ever heard was back when the Ravens were STRUGGLING and hadn't scored an offensive TD in four weeks. My buddy told me the Ravens would win the SB. I prob spent 5 + minutes telling him what an ignorant, know-nothing he was. Haha guess what. The Ravens won.
  
  I kept telling my boss the Giants would win this week, he kept saying no way. I think we've seen enough wild card teams get hot late and go on a playoff run to realize that it's the NYGs this season. It's just a phenomenon we see frequently in sports now. Giants had some big breaks go their way tonight but luck is the residue of design and desire.
  
  I think the experiences over the last four years are the catalyst in the success they're having. They aren't intimidated by anything. Winning in Lambeau in 07 then staring down an 18-0 juggernaut. Going back to GB and knocking off the defending champs, going back to SF where they had lost earlier and facing a really goo defense. They won't be intimidated by playing in a nice comfortable setting, neutral field. I see the Giants having the Pats number. They have that mojo and that magic to win one more.
  
  I think after it's said and done Eli and TC will be remembered as greats bc of what this team accomplishes during their careers.

  My dad took the Giants at 15-1 on a 20$ bet.
  
  I took the Colts.
