Super Bowl 42

Who would have thought that the hopes of the world may rest on the sholders pf Eli Manning of all people? While on paper this apears to be perhaps the most lopsided super bowl in history, I still think the Giants have a chance. The Giants nearly pulled the upset several weeks back, and have won road games against Tampa Bay, Dallas and Green Bay in the playoffs. So clearly the Giants a a pretty good team in their own right and not the fluke Super Bowl team many may think they are. That being said the Pats are clearly the best team in the NFL and have ample experience in big games, so they have to be the favorite. I'm going heart over head.

NY Giants: 24

NE Patriots: 21
