I cannot FUCKING believe that the Giants beat the Packers. In Green Bay. When it was below freezing. Favre just didn't have a good game and, obviously, his interception in OT killed them. Note that the Pack is 2-3 in their last 5 playoff games at Lambeau. Not exactly a home field advantage.
The Patriots grinding out a win against San Diego was less of a surprise. The Bolts don't exactly have a high powered offense, so NE could afford the bend-but-don't-break style of defense that held SD to field goals. San Diego didn't do themselves a favor when they elected to punt in the middle of the 4th quarter when they had the ball at midfield. More surprising was the 3rd down call. It was as if they didn't even CONSIDER they were in four down territory. Not sure that it would have mattered in the end, but still.
Over the last 6 weeks or so the Pats have looked beatable. Of course, no one has done it yet.
The Giants were one team that exposed them and they were one Eli Manning interception away from closing the deal. I'm sure the G-Men are confident going into the game, but I don't see them winning it. But, they'll make it close.

After the field goal was good I stared at the television and didn't move for about a solid sixty seconds.
Then I took a breath, wiped my tears and immediately entered the Super Bowl pool.
I hope the Giants kick their asses.
