New England Patriots vs NY Giants
0-2 last week stings a bit, but I have the Patriots winning this game. Clearly you shouldn't trust my opinion, but I'll explain why I'm wrong. The Giants by all accounts have the edge, they have a better defense, about equal offense, and they've beaten the Patriots before this season and on the big stage. But I think the Patriots will win because of motivation, the Giants want to win another Super Bowl, and that's it. For Belichik and Brady this is not only a revenge game for Super Bowl 42, but it's also a gift to the late Myra Hiatt Kraft. The Patriots aren't just playing for another Super Bowl, they're playing for a loved one of their team. Therefore they win, probably in dramatic fashion to because the Pats can't do it any other way. If I had to take a guess at the score... 24-21.
