Super Bowl XLVI Prediction Time

PrintThe day we've all dreaded is here, either the Patriots or Giants will be Super Bowl champs by the day's end. So it's time put your final prediction in writing.
Personally, I was having a tough time with this one. At this point, these teams look fairly evenly matched even though the Pats are three points favorites. So I figured that maybe I'd let the Accuscore simulator help in my prediction. It's projected scores?
Patriots 21.7, Giants 21.3
So yeah, no help from Accuscore. So I checked out the historical against the spread trends. They all favor the Giants to cover. So Giants right? Not so fast... I also checked out ESPN "win odds predictions" that uses three different mathematical models to predict winners. All three predict a Pats win.
So the "objective" predictors are basically split, which means this really is a gut pick. So vote in the poll, but give us your reasoning in the comments.

I am, grudgingly, picking the Giants. I just have this feeling that Manning to Cruz on 3rd down is going to be what breaks the Pats.
Ugh, I hate myself now…
Let the beasting begin.

Giants win because it'd be the most painful outcome for Eagles fans...
we’ll be thinking all offseason about the unbelievable ways the Eagles blew games and if any of those fucking ridiculous plays didn’t happen, the Giants would be at home and we could maybe be in the SB.
Parker offsides, R Brown fumble, Maclin’s 3 blown game-winning drives, Babin and Nnamdi’s offsides negating 3rd down stops that lead to TD’s for the other team, the 2 missed FG’s, Vick’s fluke injuries, bad officiating in the Chicago game, red zone fails, all of those highlight reel interceptions of tipped and dropped passes, Fitz catching 3 deflected passes on the same drive etc…
The Giants winning the SB will make the aforementioned shit all the more painful.
Pats
Just cause I hate the VaGiants more. But no joy either way. Fuck… the curse of being a Eagles fan is painful.

Giants win because god hates us.

Agreed
Wouldn’t want to be defending Brady today, He’s not going to let eli overpower him again

Gotta actually root for the Giants today.
If they win 2 Super Bowls in 5 years, it serves to further highlight Reid’s ineptitude and is another piece of evidence that could be used to fire him.
The bad news? Castillo's back.
The good news? With the 7-9 season coming up and all the Eagles games being played at 1:00 (and in the bag for the opponent by 2:30 at the latest), we'll all have plenty of time to rake the leaves and whack off. Stock up on your Astro Glide, ladies!
So you hate Reid more than you hate the Giants. Fantastic.
Its all about the []_[]

yea, Maclin would not have blown those 3 game-winning drives. Probowl veterans like Babin, Nnamdi and Cole would have known not to jump offsides on 3rd down, Alex Henry would’ve made one of those two FG’s, tipped passes would’ve landed somewhere other than right into the hands of defenders, Fitz would not have miraculously caught those three deflected passes in the Cards game, the Eagles would not have been scheduled for a West coast game on a Thursday night, Vick would not have gotten hurt at all etc…
If the Giants win, you better have the banhammer ready.
AR should have to wear a Flava Flav necklace until he learns how to manage a clock.
I am the proud target of temper tantrums.
No.
Let them gloat. They’d deserve it. The Eagles shitsack coaching staff and lackluster upper management deserves it the same way the Nationals deserve to have their ballpark overtaken by Phillies fans.

Management ain’t here; we is.

True.

Dude
I can usually take your tripe, but the if the Giants win the superbowl, it has NOTHING to do with the Eagles!!! Nothing! It is ashame you hate the Eagles organization so much that your football logic suffers. At least if you were able to back up what you say about the Eagles FO with actual facts maybe more people would take you seriously.

Pshh Giants of course
Just cause i hate them
Wow with all this Giants Love
I almost thought I was on BBV for a second, 142 votes (and counting) for the Giants?.. Are we for real? Hell no I don’t think they will win which would possibly be the worst thing this Franchise has had happened to them with a rival winning a Super Bowl. This wasn’t just any other year that a rival could had the chance to win a ring, this was; the year of the Dream, the year Nnamdi had two mistakes in one game resulting in TD’s, the year where “numbers” wise Giants were outscored by their opponents, the year dallas or the Eagles could have played themselves into the same spot. I can not and will not think rational when it comes to the fucking Giants hoisting a trophy we have already seen that one, but we haven’t seen anyone lose a Super Bowl (except us) in awhile right? What Giants in 2000 to the Ravens , thats what I want to see. I am going to enjoy watching a rival lose a Super Bowl, its inadvertently one of the best things for us, they lose so we didn’t have to. Fly Eagles Fly
ok, the giants suck.

What im hoping to see during game.
O/U. on Manning face set at 3, sound right?
Hoping to see the timeout dance again, that was the best.
Coughlin red faced running on to field to yell at any body. preferably the punter.
Jacobs fumble at least twice.
Brady goin no huddle 2xs speed and watchin Gmen D try to set up.
Ocho cinco doing Cruz’s dance in the end zone at least twice. (hate that dance)
You kids and your InterWebNet VooDoo......Scary
Best Case Scenario
I think I have finally come up with an outcome to the Super Bowl that I can live with.
The Pats win the flip and elect to receive. On the first play from scrimmage, Brady gets Theismann’d.
Upon seeing the femur of his beloved, Belichick has a violent nervous breakdown and is carted off the field, while screaming, “Is ok. Is ok. We’ll get you some orthopedic Uggs, buddy.”
The Giants, brought down by an Eli pickfest, find themselves unable to score on a weak Pats’ defense, losing to a Brady-less, Belichick-less New England team by a score of 24-0.
While accepting the MVP award, Ochocinco goes on an impromptu tirade about how Flavor Flav isn’t the only reality star who has rubbed his balls in New York’s face, thus leading to permanent banishment from the NFL.
AR should have to wear a Flava Flav necklace until he learns how to manage a clock.
