Coughlin is definitely a hard nosed old school coach. Get to the meetings 5 minutes early. If you're late you get fined and even benched for an entire game. Always on the chopping block if his team loses 3 or 4 in a row, but it's NY. It's the toughest sports city in the world. After this though he'll be fine for another few years, if he chooses to stick around that long. He's pretty old now.
- Yeah, he's come a long way from his Jacksonville days, that's for sure. Anyway, good on him, he deserves it!panacea

Listening to the Freakonomics Podcast, they're discussing home field advantage, and they've found it has nothing to do with sleeping in your own bed or familiarity with the field, etc. It has a lot more to do with the fact that officials generally speaking make calls for the home team. SB is up for grabs, but I wonder if Peyton's lil brother Eli might get a few calls being that it's a Colt town. They're talking about it now.

It's hard for me to rejoice in the Pats win...that was ugly.

This one is really hard to call Pats are 2.5 pt favorites, yet Giants won during the season , Im a fan of the game so I will not be rooting for anyone , just for a good game. Yet if history tells us anything this year is if you won in the regular season matchup, you loose the Playoff Game (Pack, 9ers both beat NYG in reg sea) so I say Pats 27-23

As always, I'm throwing down 1K on the underdog to cover. I usually win, but...

The Pats are known to really struggle with teams built like the Giants. To the point where the Giants beat their best team in the SB, beat them 3 out of the last 4 preseason games, and beat them this season, when the Giants werent even that good.
The Pats have no deep threat like Randy Moss, and Gronk is hurt, wont be 100% for the game. Their running game isnt very impressive, and their D is average at best.
I honestly think the Giants are better in every possible way. If they won by 13 it really would not surprise me, but its the NFL, anything can happen of course.
- G-men!!!panacea
- Actually, the Ravens kicked the shit out of them and if not for two lucky breaks, I'd be placing bets on Baltimore.panacea
- Teams with tough D's are like kryptonite to the Pats. They really struggle badly.CygnusZero4
- Baltimore had them, soooooooooo lucky. You're right...panacea
- baltimore screwed up as bad as NE - that game was ugly on both sides... nobody deserved to win that matchPonyBoy

The Giants look like the best team in football right now. They have a great passing game, running game is much improved, and easily the best D in the playoffs right now.
But the Packers have no running game, and their D sucks. The Giants almost beat them 3 weeks ago, when the Giants werent even that good at the time.
The Saints have a killer offense, but again, no defense. Just like 2007 I could see this Giants team the way they look right now being able to beat both of those teams.
Is it unlikely? Sure, the road to the SB isnt easy, but it's definitely possible. Noone that has watched them over the last 3 weeks cant say they could beat any NFC team left. They definitely can, and are by far the most balanced team right now. And they always say, defense wins championships. Last year the Pack had a great D, but they are awful this year.
- i want to support the giants but it's hard to tell which team they'll bring. remember the demolition job by n.o.?dijitaq
- That was quite a while ago.CygnusZero4
- Totally different team playing right now. Just like in 2007 when they won it all, on the road against better teams.CygnusZero4
- Or teams people THOUGHT were better.CygnusZero4
- San Fran beat NYG in reg sea, and has the best D in the playoffs, Giants beat FalconsBattleAxe
- aint' a fucking chance Giants will hold GB to 2 pts like they did Atlanta.. Giants were lucky just to make it to playoffs IMObliznutty

^if he learns to throw properly he would be a threat. he's been riding his luck or maybe all those kneeling he does do have its merit. hmm...

I really wish we could separate Tim Tebow the Christian from Tim Tebow the quarterback. I respect his outward Christianity, way to go, Timbow. But please, analysts, shut the fuck up about it and focus on the game, not his personal life and convictions.
