Chargers and Pats, Giants and Packers.. Who Makes the Super Bowl ?


Tom Brady May Have an Easy Time Making His 4th Super Bowl...
We're down to four teams now, and my team is still in it. I didn't do well in picking the divisional games (1-3), but I never do well in that round. The Championship games generally aren't very good, and I don't expect anything different here. Here are my picks.
Chargers at Patriots.
The Bolts overcame some tough obstacles to beat the Colts, but they are hurting bad. Philip Rivers, LaDainian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates are all sitting out practice this week - not a good sign.. You don't prepare for the Patriots by not practicing. The defense for the Chargers is in pretty good shape, but they can only hold for so long. The weather will likely stink, but Tom Brady and the Pats O doesn't stink. It's OK, no one remembers who lost the Championship game. Pats 24-10.
Giants vs. Packers.
I'll be honest about this game involving my Giants - I don't think they'll do well. Yes, they have won nine straight road games, and they are 3-0 in NFC Championship games. But, they are playing in Green Bay, and it will be very cold and windy, and we know how Eli Manning throws in the wind. Expect the Packers to line up eight guys and MAKE Eli throw. The Packers have a good running game, their receivers are awesome, and Brett Favre has a rocket arm, so he'll throw the short slant routes, and the receivers will take off against the G-Men's beat up secondary. Brett makes his third Super Bowl - then what? Packers 31-7.

Not a Packer fan but love their fans and I do hope Brett wins and retires for the state of Mississippi people. Now the Giants can win but want and the Pats should win but want. Super Bowl at Wyboo we will watch Packers versus Chargers. Come on down.

Concur with Moye, Pats fall in a close one as lightning strikes, even if LT is unavailable.

PS Pats still lose first round draft pick since they got caught cheating reading signals in the first game

They lost that pick, but they still have the #7 overall, thanks to stealing a pick in trade.
