Okay, comments and predictions here.
(Excerpt) Read more at espn.go.com ...
Take confort, the SB is taking place in the city of the Indy 500.
Patriots by 8.
Remember that, despite what has been said, the Patriots have a “bee in their helmets” and have not forgotten, at least those players who are still with the Patriots, what happened 4 years ago.
Plus the AFC won last week in the Pro Bowl. Look for an AFC resurgence in the coming season starting tonight.
Giants 23, Patriots 17
This is a good year.

....Go Giants!
It’s been an awesome week here in Indy.
The weather has been great, and the planning and execution of the pre-game day activities has gone well.
And the best news is that Obama isn’t coming, LOL.
I hate the Pats and BeliCHEAT, but I hate Mr. Silver-Spoon-In-His-Mouth Manning and the Giants even more. I hope Manning gets the whipping of his spoiled life.
They have a twelfth man not on the field. There can be no other explanation for the missed field goal and Sterling Moore's foiling the game winning touchdown against The Ravens.
Regardless of who wins, it's gonna be great to see all those fans of the "Baltimore Colts" writhe in agony as they are in a no-win situation. Either their bitter enemies, The Pats, win on their home turf, or Elisha Manning proves he's better than their loser commercial boy Peyton.
I’m still a half-hearted Giants fan, and I think the NFL ought to really sit down and think hard about what it’s all about after this season, especially if the Giants win tonight. There’s no way in hell a team with 7 losses should be playing in a Super Bowl. What’s even more ridiculous is that the Giants finished the regular season with a negative (394-400) point differential. This is a championship contender?! LOL.

Peyton is just as spoiled as his brother. Can’t stomach either of them.
i’m a Jet fan but root for the Giants if my team is out and Eli is my neighbor.
He’s a good guy so easy to back. We’ll be having a good time today.
Giants 34 Pats 20
I’m not a Colts fan, though I live in Indianapolis.
All I’ve ever seen is Manning being extremely generous in this town.
He’s very low key, and has endowed a children’s hospital.
Always at the ready to help out with charity events.
I hear dat...
We'll all be bombarded with Elisha Manning commercials, if he wins.
Brady's commercial made us all go 'ugh', we don't need any more of those from him.
Giants aren’t that good. They just got hot at the right time.
For a union shop, the NFL has a lot of turnover.
Only 23 players of 106 are carryover from the NE/NY matchup four years ago.
NE wins.
Here’s my analysis:
Based on regular season YDG statistics.
NE 2 Pass 29 Pass NYG
NE 20 Rush 19 Rush NYG
NYG 5 Pass 31 Pass NE
NYG 32 Rush 17 Rush NE
Total YDG superiority NE by 15
Game Plan: NE - Pass MUCH more - use run to keep defense honest. NYG - Pass MUCH more
Game character: Top passing against lowest tier pass defenses. Should be high score because not much to stop top passing. Both QB's are dangerous. The difference may be the rush game: Rush game: NYG has NFL's worst rush. NE superior by 15. Rush game: NE is #20 rush offense. NYG is #19 rush defense. Even. Key to game: May be NE's ability to run against NYG.
I am very happy to hear the great news. I’m glad the weather is good also.
“I hope Manning gets the whipping of his spoiled life.”
Eli Manning is not spoiled and his father noted he never complained about anything growing up.
Archie Manning raised two very normal but excellent boys who made it to the NFL.
Stop hating.

Looks like transaction prices are trending back up, I think the cheapest seats have pretty much been sold.
