Are you kidding?  The Giants are Major League Chokers and are WAY OVER DUE for a major choke down.  This one will be one of the more lop-sided Super Bowls in the History of the event. 

I'd love to hear of a Major Upset by these Giants, but will not bear wittness to it, nor the failure of.

I think the difference between this Tom Coughlin led group of Giants and those in the past is that he and his players are on the same page in the locker room, on the field, and in the playbook. He has their respect and commitment, largely because he came to the leaders of the team and hammered out what they needed from him in order to make the compromises needed to gel as a unit.

He was man enough to do what was necessary to get out of his element a bit and they appreciated it enough to make their own changes in order to create a team that was all pulling in the same direction. I don't know if the Giants will win, but I don't see them being embarrassed. I look for something like a 28-24 final score.

As things now stand, I might take the Giants if I got 21.5 points!

Actually, what Tiki said had a lot to do with the changes TC made... he brought in the veteran leadership on the team and got their opinions, acted upon them, and won back his team in a big way.

53.5 +/-

That's a lot of points but considering these two combined for 73 in the last meeting, I'm leaning toward the over.

In your own inimitable way, you have once again shown just how little you know... people actually think that you know what you are talking about, and that makes me smile. Good luck in the elections jwHillary...

This will certainly be remembered as one of the great upsets in sports history. I'm actually kinda glad it happened. I don't believe this Patriot's team is the best ever. Winning today would have secured their claim to being considered so.

There is something going at that stadium in Glendale!  Been some amazing upsets in that place in the last couple of years.

Including:
Boise State over Oklahoma
UF over Ohio State
WVU over Oklahoma
Giants over the Pats

Must be something in the water.
