A Super Bold Prediction: Giants Over the Patriots

by

Ok, I’ll admit my bona fides are a little light football-wise.

  • Last organized football played—Freshman year of high school.
  • Soccer coach and ref.
  • NFL games attended in person—2.

But I have loved the NFL (and before the merger, the AFL even more) since I was a first grader—over 40 years. And God knows how many thousands of hours of NFL games and analysis on ESPN I’ve watched.

So, I am no more or less an expert than most people.

But I predict and upset today—the New York Giants 27, the New England Patriots 24.

Here are my reasons:

  • The Patriots will once again need a good kicker to win the game. They let go one of our favorite South Dakotans—Kicker Adam Vinatieri—and now have a rookie. Adam is only the most clutch kicker in the history of the game.
  • Giants QB Eli Manning will not throw any interceptions and continue his near perfect play.
  • The Giants pass rush will get to QB Tom Brady and disrupt his timing.
  • The Patriots’ pursuit of going 19-0 finally catches up with them.
  • NE QB Tom Brady’s ankle really is bothering him. (See photo above.)
  • The Patriots weren’t able to cheat and tape the Giants’ run-through like they did the St. Louis Rams’ in Super Bowl 36.

And speaking of the Rams. In Super Bowl 36, they were the prohibitive favorite, had the tremendous passing attack, and were the “Greatest Show on Turf.�? The Patriots were given no chance.

Well, the tables are turned. The Patriots will be smug, the Giants will be hungry.

And if I’m wrong, at least their’s Tom Petty at half time.

Regardless of the score, enjoy the game!
