NFL Super Bowl Preview

New England Patriots (13-3) vs. New York Giants (9-7): After two stunning wins off mistakes by opponents the Patriots and Giants will be facing off in a rematch of one of the most memorable Super Bowls in history. The two teams will be facing off on February 5th in the game we have been waiting all season to watch, this is the one that matters. Can the Giants come up with the upset again? Or will the Patriots show the last time was a fluke? The rumors about Eli having the edge over Brady are just absurd and Brady will prove this. As one of the greatest quarterbacks in history Tom Brady has proven this by winning 3 Super Bowls since replacing Drew Bledsoe as the quarterback in New England. One more Super Bowl win would tie him at most alongside Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw, this could solidify Brady as the greatest ever and Brady will be determined not to let Eli and the Giants stop him from getting this again. If Eli wants to prove me wrong he will need the performance of his life to knock off the high powered Patriots. Most people would say the Giants defense is the better of the two and that is usually true, yet the Patriots defense is never the same once they hit the playoffs and that was proven last week against the Baltimore Ravens. The biggest concern for the Patriots is on the Giants defensive unit though. The problem is the monster defensive lineman Jason Pierre-Paul. With 16.5 sacks and 2 forced fumbles it’s obvious Pierre-Paul has proved the doubters that said he was drafted to early wrong. If Pierre-Paul can get in and force pressure on Brady its possible he could cause some mistakes from Brady and force big defensive plays. Every Super Bowl has a surprise player; the surprise player in this game will be the man who has only 15 catches for 276 yards and 1 touchdown, Chad Ochocinco. I’m expecting 50+ yards and at least one touchdown against the Giants. If you’re a gambler and are thinking about putting a bet on the Giants winning id strongly recommend you reconsider, and all this is coming from a man who hates the Patriots. Expect Brady to get his 4th ring on February 5th, 2012.
