Why the Giants Will Win the Super Bowl

Brady_ny_2

Look Ma, no cast. Doesn’t matter. The cast is not the thing, it’s where the picture was taken.

Predicting sports is not my usual thing, but I’m picking the Giants to win the Super Bowl for six reasons.

1) They have the much sought after momentum. After starting off slowly, their entire team has been on a roll, improving week by week.

2) Eli Manning seems to have made a quantum jump in performance, as many people but especially elite former NFL quarterbacks have commented.

3) The Patriots have looked a little off, and are certainly not playing as well as they might be or had been. This can be a particular problem in light of point 1.

4) The Giants aren’t the least bit afraid. They know they can beat the Patriots. Heck the nearly did.

5)  The Pats have to lose a game sooner or later …

6) Tom Loves New York:  Question: Where does the Pats QB hang in his off-time? Out in Foxboro, over at Fanueil Hall. Hardly. He’s a fixture in the Big Apple, walking around town,  going to chichi restaurants, clubs and haunts with Gisele. The issue isn’t the “boot” on his foot, the suspected sprain, the possible ruse? Brady will be in fine physical shape.  It’s the mental factor. The guy wants to be in NY so much he can taste it.  Playing in the Super Bowl against any other team, I’d bet on him being cool, calm and collected. But not against the Giants. His secret desire to be in New York is sure to pysche him out. Deep down he’ll be thinking, “what if I was doing this there?”

You just watch:-) …

    I actually don’t need to see Rodgers as MVP, but nobody else genuinely stood out. Too numerous drops from the WRs, the RB was nonexistent, the Steelers had nobody to look at the MVP from your losing side. Defense, had, maybe Matthews but it is probably Rodgers by default.
