New England takes away Plaxico Burress. The Giants must get a pass rush up in Tom Brady’s face and not from the edge. The Patriots reaffirm they are the greatest team in NFL history.

Patriots, 40-14

The Giants are becoming that team of destiny themselves because they have belief in themselves and a mistake-free style of football that very much mimics the Patriots’ offense… . For the last couple of weeks, they have defied expectation. It’s going

to be a great game.

I haven’t picked the Patriots all year, so why should I start now?

Giants, 31-28

There’s a big difference between being unbeaten and unbeatable. There are only a handful of teams that are good enough to pressure the quarterback with their front four guys – the Giants are one of those teams. And, the Giants can run the football. The Patriots are the better team, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Giants win. It’s going to be close.

Tom Brady makes no mistakes and has too many weapons. Patriots prevail.

The key will be the Patriots’ three down linemen – (Richard) Seymour, (Vince) Wilfork and (Ty) Warren – who will be able to collapse on Eli (Manning), forcing him backward, which is not his strength.

(The Patriots’) versatility will be the key. They always find a way to get it done and they will again this time.

If Eli throws the ball less than 25 times and the Giants run the ball extremely well, they can win. But I don’t see that happening.
