Here are some predictions from my party this weekend:
- Murdoc: NE 38-20
- My Wife: NE 38-21
- My Brother: NE 27-17
- My Mom: NE 27-13
- My Son: NE 13-7
- My Daughter: NE wins
I think New York will play decently and the Patriots won’t run away with it, but I also don’t think that the outcome will really ever be in doubt.
For the record, I also happen to think that, though the New England receivers are obviously awesome, the Giants receivers are plenty good.
UPDATE: No refunds on Super Bowl predictions.

One of the beat writers for the Chicago Trib had an article highlighting moments in the game, using Roman numerals. A couple down the list had the Giants winning the toss and electing to lose. ;) I want the Pats to win if only to shut the Dolphins up, but it appears they have no intention of going quietly into the night. I wouldn’t be surprised if they keep up their goofy tradition of popping bubbly every year when the last undefeated team meets their match in the regular season.
Last I saw (pre half) it was NE 7, Jersey 3. I still think the Giants can pull it off. 20-17.
Oops. Who saw that one coming? Actually, one of the local sports radio guys called it- he said the Giants by 3!
You Murdoc! Did you have Crow for dessert? Perhaps with a side-dish of Humble Pie, served by Waiter Brady at Chez Belichick? I’m lovin’ it! Pinch
