I think this game will be tighter than most people think.

The opening line is Patriots -13.5 Giants.

I was fucking screaming at the TV at that jackass Tynes. Thank God they won.

I like the Patriots, but it will be in a neutral field, and the Giants are playing very well. They can beat the Patriots, but I like the Pats to make history.

This will probably be tight, and maybe a field goal will decide it.... like a typical Patriots win in the SB.

Also... the game will be played in warm weather... and I think the Pats will spread that D wide open and fire at will.

We're having our frickin office party on superbowl Sunday. They did at least move up the time a little, but I'll still be missing the beginning. It's going to cramp my party.

Brady will not have back to back off games... the passing game should be tight in the warm weather. The Patriots running game has been hot the last couple games... The Pats will have no problems putting up points and the D will hold their own...

Sorry to NY, I am impressed by how far they got, but I am taking the Pat's with the points...

wow, imagine the storyline if the colts beat SD and then NE.

If the spread is 14 I think I'd take the giants to at least cover the spread.

This is the first time in many years that two teams I despise are in the SB. Doubt I'll even watch this year.

Good luck anyway...

hmm, Brady seen wearing a walking cast:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playof...ory?id=3207592

The New England Patriots have sauntered through the rest of the league this year. But on the verge of perfection, their leader has come up gimpy.

Photographs and video show Tom Brady wearing what appears to be a walking cast while in New York on Monday. A video of Brady in the cast is available on TMZ.com.

The Boston Herald reported that Brady -- flowers in hand -- was visiting the apartment of his girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen.

During his weekly radio show on WEEI, Brady did not deny that he suffered some sort of injury during Sunday's win over the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Championship Game.

"Ah, you know, there's always bumps and bruises. I'll be ready for the Super Bowl," Brady said. "I'm not worried about that. I'm not missing this one. I'd have to be on a stretcher to miss this one. There will be treatment this week. In games like this, you get a little nicked up. It's nothing serious."

Patriots spokesman Stacey James wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press late Monday night that the team had no comment on the photos.

Brady, who threw 50 touchdown passes and only eight interceptions during the regular season, was not at his best on Sunday. He threw three interceptions in the 21-12 victory over the Chargers.

He now has two weeks to recover. The Patriots meet the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII on Feb. 3 as they try to complete a perfect 19-0 season.
nothin serious they say

Definitely nothing serious... the Pats usually have 1/4 of the team probable or questionable for each game anyways.

Brady has been on the injury report as "probable" every week for the past 2 or so years with a right shoulder injury. I think this is just to through the G men off (dont know how that will work). It would be horrid to come this far and loose him to an injury such as this

I think Belichick just listed him as "extremely doubtful" with an "amputated leg".
