Ok its friday night before the game and I would like to set my predictions in forum stone if you will. I have been a long time Giants fan. I have seen petty much every game Eli has started along the way the last 8 years. Ive also seen tons of Tom Brady and the Patriots being the huge NFL fan that I am. I think this game is not about the quarterbacks. You pretty much know what you are gonna get from them both.
Eli Manning is not going to have a lot of problems shredding the Patriots porous defense. Tom Brady will be Tom Brady. However the main match-up is gonna be the giants d-line vs the Patriots O-line. If Tom Brady has time he will be able to deliver the ball to Gronkowski in the first half( but he should not be that effective in the second half due to the high ankle sprain). Brady can beat the Giants secondary, and the Patriots recievers and Hernandez will find open room. That is why the giants d-line has to get to Brady in 2 seconds or less. If they can consistenly they will win. If they dont get to Brady and knock him down they can't win the game. The Giants will put up eith 27 31 or 34. I am almost sure of that. Now That means if they can hold the Patriots under 27 I beleive for sure the Giants win this game. If the Patriots score 35 then I believe they win. Tom Brady will be ultra-motivated, and not blind with arrogance like last time. He will bring it for sure and be great. He can't be that great if he is always on the turf though looking up. If he has time in the pocket to throw its over. Thats what I'm thinking and If you agree or disagree Id love to hear it.
