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.  |
You are being WAY too humble Swamp - no way, IMHO that the Giants stay that close. I simply refuse to believe Eli can continue to play at this level.....and week 17 results (and the Giants staying close) mean nothing now.
Cmon, Tom Coughlin vs. a prepared Belichick?
I'm admittedly a Gmen hater though, so there you go
