Super Bowl XLVI


It had to be the photo, sorry.
If you have ever read my blogs before you know who I am rooting for. If it was legal to kill one human being during your life I would kill Bill Belichick. He only added to my hatred of him yesterday by cutting Tiquan Underwood, aka the greatest high-top fade I've ever seen, how do you release a player on Super Bowl eve. That is pure evil. Tiquan handled it like a champ on Twitter, so respect to you sir.
Onto my Super Bowl breakdown. The Giants have the edge in most categories.
Defense by far being number one --- Give me JPP, Osi, Tuck, Rolle, and my boy Mark Herzlich (he may not see the field) over anybody on the Patriots defense other than Big Vince Wilfork.
Offensively, I think the O-lines are a push.
WR --- Giants. Cruz, Nicks, Manningham are a lethal bunch. This group compared to the '07 Giants isn't even a competition. They may not be as high profile as Plaxico, Amani Toomer, or Steve Smith but they have a better QB and they have great hands. Tell me when you remember CRUUUUUUZZZZ dropping a pass, don't worry I'll wait.
Tight Ends --- Patriots. Even if the GRONK isn't at 100%, Yo soy Fiesta. He is a beast. Add in my former Little League opponent, who hit a 300 foot grand slam when I was 11, Aaron Hernandez and Tom F. Brady has all he needs to throw the ball quickly to evade the Giants pass rush.
Running game --- another push. Sure Ahmad Bradshaw didn't play in the game during the regular season, so you would assume Bradshaw/Jacobs is better than The Law Firm (Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis). The Law Firm does not fumble, not never. He may also have a big game due to the fact the the G-Men need to concerned about stopping the pass. If Bill F. Belichick is smart, he gives the Law Firm over 20 carries.
Coaches --- The two most important factors are the coach and QB. Tom Coughlin has beaten BFB in SB XLII and this season. As a Steeler fan I know how hard it is to beat Bill two times in a row. Both coaches are fighting for a spot in the Hall of Fame honestly, If Tom wins he matches Bill Parcells (how did he not get voted into the hall, just dumb) with 2 rings for the G-Men. If Bill wins he matches Chuck Noll and Bill Walsh with four (nightmare).
QB --- I'll give Tom F. Brady love first. If he wins, I will have to say (as much as this kills me), he is the greatest QB of all-time. He will have four rings, which ties Montana and Bradshaw, but look at his supporting cast compared to those two. Montana had the greatest receiver of all-time, plus Ronnie Lott on defense. Bradshaw had two HOF receivers, in Stallworth and Swann, Franco Harris as his RB, and the Steel Curtain. Tom's best receiver was Randy Moss, which did not amount to a championship, David Givens, Deion Branch, and Troy Brown are no match to the 3 receivers I just mentioned. Now it's Eli Time. I know a few die-hard Giants fans and they still hate Eli because he shows no emotion and has an "awww schucks" attitude. I understand that. However he is the best Qb in the league at the moment. He has all the talent Peyton does but he doesn't choke in the clutch (he has his ring, but SB XLIV the pick 6 to Tracy Porter...ouch).

It's time to make my pick...My heart tells me one thing and my brain tells me another. Patriots 21, Giants 20. NYG +2.5. I am not betting on the game (other than the Kelly Clarkson over for her national anthem). I'll trust my brain for this Super Bowl. I just think Bill has a gameplan that will allow Tommy to get the ball out of his hands quickly and the Patriots will be able to dink and dunk their way down the field. As for stopping Eli, they may not be able to stop big plays from happening but I think the Patriots defense forces one or two key turnovers that will win them the game. However I am 9-1 for this postseason, my only loss was picking the 49ers over the Giants, so maybe it's a good thing I'm not picking them.
