I agree, it would be 7-0 for the Patriots. The Giants will become dwarfs tomorrow.

like the other guy said, NE by 3.

BUT

From all I've been hearing/reading on the sports channels/sites, they're talking about Eli Manning like he's Joe Montana, Tom Brady, and Superman all rolled into one.

AND

Some of them are giving NE little to no chance of winning if Gronkowski isn't 100%, and maybe half a chance (at best, the way it sounds) of winning even if he is 100%.

IOW, even though Vegas has NE over NYG, NE still sound like underdogs.

I really should stop listening to/reading that trash...

AS VEGAS (AP)—Las Vegas casinos have made the New England Patriots favorites to win the Super Bowl thanks to their national following, a decade of winning and the playoff mystique of quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick.

In odds posted Sunday night by Cantor Gaming, the Patriots opened as three-point favorites over the New York Giants after New York beat San Francisco 20-17 in overtime in the NFC championship game, Race and Sports Director Mike Colbert said.

“The public will still like New England,” Colbert told The Associated Press. “I don’t think people are actually hip to how good these NFC teams are.”

Although Regis picked the Giants, and Bill Murray picked the Giants, I haven't got enough information about the Pats to decide if they could actually beat the Giants or not.

They've already met once before this year.
But, I didn't see that game, so I don't know how that one turned out.

Eli Manning led a late 4th quarter drive to win the game with a few seconds remaining. Kinda like the Super Bowl they played in.

I hope the Patriots will beat the Giants tomorrow. The Giants are too confident that they will win that is why I want them to lose. Look at what they have done, they even have a premature announcement in their website that they have won the Super Bowl ! Yay!
