Admittedly, I am a huge NE Patriots fan and at the time of this writing they are beating the Ravens 10-3 in the 2nd Quarter. I think they will win but am having too much anxiety and the game is paused. Any others have teams still in it? Come on football fans!

I would love to see a Giants vs. Patriots Superbowl re-match.

With the Patriots losing again.

I would love to see a Pats/Giants rematch also. Dam, they just tied it up...

I would prefer a Niners-Pats Super Bowl. Don't care who wins.

After my favorite, the Packers, were beat, I decided that the Giants are my pick to win it all. Not because I want them to - being a Michigan Wolverines fan, I hope Brady gets another ring - but because I don't see any of the other teams as being as balanced in all aspects of the game.

I don't think there was ever a more balanced team than the '07 Pats, a debateable claim I know, but they lost in the superbowl. So as a Pats fan I am psyched we get another chance to beat their ass

Prediction: Pats will win this time, and everyone here in Maine will have a big orgasm about it. For me I will be happy cause it means the end of football (hand-egg) season, and that spring training for the Red Sox will be starting soon (YAY!!)

Sorry, I don't hate football, but I never got into it either. Growing up what did we have: LA Rams (big whooptie shit) and for a few years the Raiders.

San Diego Chargers were too far away for me to care, along with the 49ers.

Giants have the Defense over the Pats, and not a bad offense either.
Giants are going to win. Brady will be picking himself off the turf the entire game, and running for his life. They know how to beat him..get in his face, and he is nothing.

I have to root for the Pat's just because I hate the Giants and Tom Brady has good hair but I think the G-men will win.

Growing up in my house it was all Red Sox and Bruins, I didn't get into football until later in life when my uncles learned I was not a fan. They were unhappy with that and schooled me in the sport. Now I am a rabid fan.

So did the Ravens. Pats are pretty scrappy and manage to pull out wins in close games (most of the time anyway).

My heart says Patriots, my head says Giants. Big Mo will be on the NY sideline.

Call me crazy but the Giants are going to win, again. They're doing what they do best: Play mediocre ball during the regular season, then beat the crap out of everyone in the playoffs.

Sorry, Patriots fans.

Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:22 pm

I'm pulling for the Giants. I'm a Jets fan, so I hate New England.

Posted: Sun Jan 29, 2012 2:00 pm

^^Blasphemy! Off with his head!

Posted: Sun Jan 29, 2012 2:06 pm

^^ I don't care who wins as long as I win one of the big pools at the boat launch.

The Ravens' offense is different than the Giants, and in my opinion, not as good. Eli Manning is far better than Joe Flacco. He nearly passed for 5000 yards this year! The Giants' wide receiver corp as a whole is superior to that of the Ravens. The Ravens do have the upper hand, big time, at the running back position. However, the Giants have been able to run the ball better lately compared to the regular season.

Geez. I sound like a Giants fan! I still feel they have the upper hand in this game, but I'm hoping the Pats can pull out the victory.

Over the weekend I was listening to some sports talk radio and they were discussing the Patriots run of success over the past 10+ years. They made an interesting point. If the Giants win, it would be the second time Tom Coughlin and his Giants have beaten the Pats in the Super Bowl - and those would be Bill Belichick's only two SB defeats. So the radio show host was pondering how another Belichick loss to Coughlin would affect both of their legacies.
