Who do you think takes it?

Personal preferences aside, I think NY keeps it close but NE finds a way to win in the 4th quarter, similar to their regular season game.

Actually, I kind of want to see NE win it, just to see a team at the top of its game. I enjoyed watching the Bulls grab a 72-10 reg season record in 95/96, and then win the championship.

Strahan cements his place as the new LT by breaking pretty-boy Brady's leg in the first half. Jacobs runs for 150. Toomer catches a TD to put the Giants ahead in the final 3 minutes. Matt Cassel fails on the final drive. Giants win 27-24.

You heard it here first.

Either New England by 3 like their other 3 SB wins or New England routs them by 17+ to cement "best ever" status. No in-between.

What happened the last time the Giants got this far? Well, look for the same thing to happen this time.

I think anything other than a Patriots blow-out would be exciting to watch. I would be cool to witness history being made, but not if they run away with it.

Any scenario that has The Giants winning would be amazing since they are such an incredible underdog. Personally I would love to see New England down by a point or two late in the game and driving for the game tying score. They stumble a little and have to settle for a field goal attempt only to watch the kicker miss it. It's a possibility without the great Adam Vinatieri doing the kicking.

It'll be very interesting to see which Eli Manning shows up. Eli in the zone could make it interesting. Bad Eli should guarentee blowout/embarrassment.

Tom Petty To Play Some New Stuff He's Been Working On At Super Bowl
January 24, 2008 | | Onion Sports

PHOENIXâ??Veteran rocker Tom Petty, known for such classic hits as "Mary Jane's Last Dance," "The Waiting," and "Refugee," announced Monday that he will be using the Super Bowl XLII Halftime Show as a forum to "test out" some new songs that he's been working really hard on lately. "There's this one cool one that I'm pretty excited about that's called, like, 'Down And Out,' because it has this really down-and-out-like 'feel' to itâ??it doesn't have a chorus yet, but I think we're gonna open with that," Petty said, describing the song as "like 'Free Fallin',' but weirder." "After that, we'll probably do two different versions of 'Rock Rock Rock (Yeah!)' and see which one the crowd likes better. Then I have this guitar riff which technically doesn't have a song to go with it but it sounds awesome, and then [keyboardist] Benmont [Tench] wrote a song about the Super Bowl that I said I'd let him play." Petty has told the 65,000 fans in attendance and the estimated 95 million TV viewers that any feedback, positive or negative, would be appreciated.

odd-makers are favoring the Pats by 12 points, and the over/under is at 54 - how would you bet?

i'd definitely take the giants +12, that way i'm guaranteed a happy result at the end of the night: either the pats run away with the game, or i make some money :) i don't think it'll be a blow-out, 12 points is down-right disrespectful of the giants. and i suppose i'd take the under, but not feeling quite as certain about it.

I'm seeing the image; it maybe a problem with sweetcell's outdated browser.

P.S. As an ironic aficionado of the Air Bud pentalogy, I found it hilarious.
