I think Belichick and that defense is going to give Eli a lot of problems. 2 weeks to prepare for the lesser Manning with lesser weapons? Ouch. That defense is full of veterans and will confuse and frustrate the offense (especially Eli).
Offensively, the Patriots are too dynamic and have too many options to be contained. The Chargers and Jaguars shut down Moss but the Pats win by using Welker, Maroney, Watson, Gaffney, etc... They win throwing the ball but when they need to they can run the ball effectively too.
The forumla for the Giants to win, IMO: Brady plays like he did against the Chargers (which will be aided by a good Giants pass rush), the Giants dominant special teams (including a TD) and the offense keeps it simple for Eli.
Im hoping for perfection, but if the Giants do manage to win, there is some consolation... Tiki Barber looks like a moron for running his mouth.
No winning the Superbowl by a field goal this year: Patriots 35 - Giants 17
