Superpatriots

My heart is with Eli Manning. But my head is with Tom Brady. The Patriots will prevail on Sunday.

It would be wonderful to see Eli win the big bowl this year after brother Peyton did it last year. Especially because Eli is always compared to Peyton as the Manning who can’t quite man up.

Against any other team, the Giants might have a chance. But the Pats are too disciplined and too good this year.

Their coach is grumpy and weird, but he is also the best brain in football right now. Their quarterback is much better than his glamour-boy image would suggest. The Pats don’t make mistakes to help you, and they make big plays to hurt you.

The Giants would need to have everything break their way for a win. Everything never breaks one way.

The one solace for Giants’ fans is that they will cover the spread. Go ahead and take the points and at least win a few bucks when they lose.

The final score will be 33-24. You read it here first.
