I know if you a football fan, or even a sports fan in general, you are excited for this Sunday. Super Bowl Sunday is by far the most exciting day in America. It puts the two best teams in the league against one another for a winner takes all showdown. Who wouldn't love that? This year the game has even more hype to it, because it's a rematch of Super Bowl XLII with the Giants taking on the Patriots. The last time these two teams met in the Super Bowl. The New York Giants came up victorious buy a slim score of 17-14 on a great comeback from Eli Manning in the 4th quarter. This year makes for another great match up between two great teams. The Pats, though they are not undefeated like last time, are just as dangerous offensively like last time; and for the G-Men they are even more dangerous Defensively then last time. This game has the the makings for one of the greatest Super Bowl's ever. Between the greatness of the Giants pass rush, the great passing game of the Pats, and a Pats D that is making improvements every week this game shouldn't cease to amaze anyone.
The Giants come into this game with a lot of confidence after beating the teams they did on the road to the Super Bowl. It started with the last week of the season, when they basically had a playoff game against the Cowboys to see who would win their division and get into the playoffs. Once into the playoff they had one of the toughest roads to pass through then any other team in the league. It starts with the Atlanta Falcons, one of the toughest teams to play on the road. The Giant's defeated them in convincing fashion by the score of 24-2, this gave the G-Men a lot of confidence for the playoffs. The Divisional round, no one thought they would get past, as they took on the defending Super Bowl Champs The Green Bay Packers. The way that the Packers were playing all season, everyone thought they were a shoe in to repeat and return to the Super Bowl. But the Giants had other plans, they beat the Packers once again in convincing fashion. Their Offense just destroyed the Packers Defense. The final score in this game was 37-20, and sent the Giants back to the NFC Championship. The NFC Championship game would be the toughest game that they would face. The Giants would take on the surging San Fransisco 49ners. The 49ners would make it interesting for the Giants to make it back to the Super Bowl. This game would go into overtime but the Giants came out on top 20-17 and are going back to the big stage.
The Pats on the other hand, had a easy task through the Playoffs. As they got a first round bye after winning they division and having the best record in their league. In the Divisional round they had easiest game ever in the Denver Bronco's as they won that game 45-10. In the AFC Championship game gave them a bit of a test as they took on the Baltimore Ravens. This game went down to the wire but the Pats come up victorious by the score of 23-20 and this is where the Pats D stepped it up and showed they were ready for the big stage.
Everyone is talking about this game, the buzz for it is outrageous. A rematch of a Super Bowl, in a Super Bowl makes for a media frenzies. No one is picking a set winner this early, except for me. My pick for this Sunday's game is the New York Football Giants in a very close game. I just think that they have the best recipe to win this game; their Offense has pulled through in the clutch before to beat the Pats this year in the regular season, their pass rush is unavoidable, and their secondary is playing pretty well. I can't wait to see what happens, and like everyone I can't wait for the commercials either.
