.....should be super boring. Eli manning is a horrible.

Anyone have the line on the patriots yet? win by 30? 40?

You keep posting about how horrible Eli is,and he all he does is keep on winning.
Meanwhile the Pats still aren't covering the point spread.This must be a nitemare for Patriot bettors,their team is having a season for the ages but the bettors are being taken to the cleaners.

Dude, if anyone is giving Eli the credit for winning they do not know football. NYG def is tough. Packers laid down on D last night. Favre didnt impress, but Eli did nothing. He gets a free ride on a team of B+ allstars.

(I think it stems from the fact he leaves his mouth slack-jawed like a dumb country bumpkin every time they put the camera on him...and he does a head butt "gah dammit" everytime he screws up to compliment that slack-jaw. Get over it, you suck, your not payton, you will get your ass handed to you by NE)

Maybe, maybe not. I think the smart money agrees with you. But there's something to be said for "will to win," "youthful exuberance," "not old enough to know how bad he really is," and "if big brother can do it so can I." If he gets lucky, it might give him enough confidence to become the player he isn't right now. If NYG lose, this season should be encouraging enough to him to make him work extra hard to become a better QB next year. Anyway, I think most are hoping for an upset. We're getting tired of NE's pefect record, and for sure they're going to lose one sooner or later. Why not now? (I just wouldn't bet on it.) lol

Im going to watch a movie that night because those teams are both un interesting to me personally. Im not a packer or dallas fan, but at least they wouldve made me interested. NE may not cover the 13-14 pt spread, but they will get the trophy. And i hope they do so Eli never does.

Take the Pats on the moneyline. Brady doesn't lose playoff games.

Bro, watching a movie instead of the Super Bowl?!? We appreciate the hyperbole though.


On a general note:

I admit that I wrote off Eli most of the way through the regular season...hell, even going into the playoffs. But after watching ALL (not just all Giants games) of the playoff games this season, I honestly have to say that Eli Manning is playing the best ball of his pro career. He is arguably having the best postseason of any QB this year...and that includes Brady.

Will the Giants win...I strongly doubt it. But to completely bag Eli after this run of games in hostile territory may be short sided. Now watch him put in a performance like Rex Grossman in last year's Big Game.

good luck

I usually go skiing on Superbowl Sunday. Crowds aren't too bad. Wish the game started earlier and the crowds would even be smaller.

Tom Brady had a 117+ QB rating in the regular season,but that has dropped to 105+ in the playoffs. Eli Manning has raised his from 74 to 99+ in the same playoffs. Brady has 3 interceptions in 2 games,Manning has zero in three.
But keep telling yourself how the Giants are only winning on defense.
I don't think anyone is saying Manning is better than Brady,but he is at least as good as several QBs that have won rings.

If you think that the Giants vs the Patriots was boring,you don't know football. If you think the Giants vs the Cowboys was boring,you know neither football or drama. If you think yesterdays Giants vs the Packers game was boring, you don't know football,drama nor history and are just plain stupid.
