And while we're talking about New England, they didn't look so super yesterday. The Giants "D" is gonna' be on Brady like he's never seen before. It should be quite a contest. Giants 31 - Patriots 28.

Yup. I was concerned about the Giants D and it was the O that gave the Pats fits. Yesterday was by far the worst playoff game Brady has played thus far. He generally follows those games up with far stronger ones. 1 reception for Moss and 3 picks by Brady and they still won by 9.
It should be interesting to see what kind of scheme Belichick comes up with for Eli.
It does feel eerily like the Pats SB matchup against the then juggernaut Rams. The big difference is that the Pats of now are able to get as physical as they need to. If you don't give them high flying "finesse" then they'll go to road-grader and short pass underneath mode.
14 pts. is a ridiculous spread. Which is kind of surprising given the fact the the Pats haven't beat the spread in a month and a half. 3 pts. seems to be the Pats favorite margin of victory in the SB, but I'm thinking it'll be by 6. Pats 31-Giants 25. Yes, 3 Hynes FG's.
I like the Pats chances on neutral/home leaning field, in a wind-free dome and in warm weather.
