YUP! You read that right. The Giants are going to Arizona for the Super Bowl! New York Giants against New England Patriots!

You probably are asking yourself the same question as me, “How did THAT happen?” The only possible answer is Eli Manning. Since the game against the Patriots, Eli has played lights out! No interceptions, over 100 passer rating. Hell, he even played great in the coldest weather he will most likely ever see! So much for the under 50 degree theory.

Plaxico Buress had a great game against the Packers. Catching balls all over the field…Taunting the Packers bench…Doing what Plax does best…Intimidating and WINNING! (Still can’t believe the Steelers let him leave!)

So how did the Giants beat the Packers? They BELIEVED they could. The defense did not sack Farve once. But, they put pressure on him all night long. That is not how the Giants won.

The Giants won…are you ready…because of the offense! You read that right. The offense won this game. Eli Manning moved the offense down the field with a good mixture of passes and runs. When Brandon Jacobs was not as effective as he normally is, in came Ahmad Bradshaw. Between the two of them, they ate up chunks of yardage and the all important clock. Toss in a little Plaxico Buress, Amani Toomer, and Steven Smith and your game is complete.

Yea I was upset about the 2 Lawrence Tynes missed field goals, but he came through in the end when he had to. I have to admit I had my “Shoot Lawrence Tynes” (figurative) t-shirt out and ready to don. That 47 yarder to win the game erased those thoughts!

On to Arizona and the New England Patriots. What are your thoughts on the bowl and who could win? Early line has the Patriots at 15-1. I believe otherwise after watching the Giants last game of the season against the Patriots. Time will tell.

Hell, the Giants beat the Dallas Cowboys, I’m good with everything from that point on!
