Tom Brady's fave TV show is Dexter. Nuff said!

Nice breakdown - very entertaining.

One thing that is amazing to me is that Brady got his 5,000 yards while having a receiving corps that is arguably on a par with the one in Cleveland.

Giants by 3.

Nice writing, Mr. Polish!

I hope you submitted something for GoBig's project.

Anyone ever tally how favorites have fared in Super Bowl history?

Looking at one website I found ( http://www.predictem.com/nfl/previous.php ), I count SB favorites as with a record of 29-15 (SB XVI between SF and Cincinnati was listed as a pick'em). Interesting though, of lines that are listed there as 3 or less (I think the line for this game is Pats by 3), I count favorites are only 3-6. but the last two games that qualify were won by the favorites (GB last year, Baltimore in SB XXXV).

I'll add that I'm not certain if those lines are right, but the recent SBs seem to have the team that I remember being favored by about what I remember. Feel free to correct as needed.

46. The final score will be Patriots 30, Giants 27. (Council Vote Tally: NE 6-3)

47.The gambling Gods won't allow a push in this game. The game will not be decided by 3 points.

You're awesome Polish, what a great and funny read

I'll of course go with The Patriots. And for my fellow Patriots girls (Amy and Brauneyz) I hope you'll have the best Super Sunday and that when we wake up Monday we'll all be hung over and happy!
And for the rest of the "crew" have a great Sunday with friends and family, that includes you too Giants97!

GO PATS!

Thanks! Very interesting. If we're lucky, the SB will come down to a final play or two, just like the conference champs.

Awesome write up Polish! Andy better look out, his job could be in jeopardy.

No way the Patriots' D can hang with the Giants passing game. The Giants' defense, however, can occasionally fight the New England passing attack to a draw, given their line and safety play. And Kenny Phillips has been ridiculously clutch all year.

New York's coaching staff is one of only four or five that legitimately doesn't worry, or need to, that Darth Belichick is on the other side (the others being Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Green Bay. Not to say they'r eunaware, just that they're emotionally unaffected by it.

No big difference-maker in the kicking game, so New York wins 31-27.
