It looks to me that the Patriots have all the weapons they need to win the Super Bowl -- good coaching, good offense, good defense, smart players. This doesn't mean they can't be beaten, but to me the smart money would bet on the Patriots. That said, I live about 30 miles north of Dallas and I'm hoping the Dallas Cowboys beat them in the Super Bowl.
I think the most noteworthy fact of the Patriots-Giants game was that these two teams, neither with anything to gain from the game in terms of playoff advantage and much possibly to lose from player injuries, went out and played their butts off, fighting tooth and nail the whole way through. That was something to see. Regrettably, I didn't get to see too much of the game because I was busy plucking two wigeons and a northern shoveler, cutting them up, and wrapping them for the freezer. Also, had to eat dinner in the middle of the game too.
