Tough call - as we all know in football, anything can happen (it's why I love the game). So many upsets these past few weeks.
I am a Patriots fan but I am a fan of the game of football first. I think it will be close. Too close to call, especially the spread. Giants are on a roll with nothing to lose so no pressure. It's a great Cinderella story in that sense. But the Pats have a lot of pressure. 18-0 so far, age and weather have take a toll. Maybe the 2 weeks will help them but it's better if they are in a rhythm.
I'm not sure how well the Giant's secondary matches up but I do think Burress, Toomer, and Jacobs should be able to do some damage. I expect at least on long bomb to connect from Manning to Burress and for Jacobs to break off a few good runs. If the Pat's D can hold, and if the front 7 can rattle Eli, then I think the edge should go to the Pats.
