Tippett in the hall, about time!
I'm ok with people who pick the Giants to win w/ reasons like, what they're pass rush could do, Polaxico moving around and taking advantage of the height miss match...
but then you have idiots like Dr. Z...

Why the Giants will win: The Giants will win via the following means: Kawika Mitchell fumble return for 36 yards for a TD, the ball being fumbled by Randy Moss. Lawrence Tynes field goal of 34 yards. Eli Manning pass to Amani Toomer for eight yards and TD. Ahmad Bradshaw eight yards off LT for TD. Extra point successful on each TD but not on the field goal because they don't kick twice. New England will score on Kevin Faulk TD of three yards, followed by an extra point blocked by Justin Tuck, then Laurence Maroney run of six yards for another TD, then Tom Brady pass to Kyle Brady (first double Brady TD in Super Bowl history), each score followed by successful perversion, uh, conversion. The N.Y. defense will hold the Patriots' offense to six points in first half, which will end 6-0 in favor of the aforementioned team, Giants will follow with scores against aging, tiring, depressed and despondent New England defense. Patriots will get two late scores to make the final score respectable and thus end up with the ultimate score which means 20.

I remember years ago when he seemed like he had 1/2 a clue... but the last fews years he's just an scenile old man.
Damon Hack also cnnsi had this to say, which while I don't agree the Giants will win at least makes some sense.

Why the Giants will win: The Giants will win because no team has played better football in the last month. Eli Manning is suddenly a mistake-free quarterback, the Giants are running the ball with force, and the defense is creating pressure and turnovers. Something about Tom Brady's ankle makes me nervous. The Giants gained a lot of confidence with their Week 17 performance against New England, even in defeat. This time, they will shock the world.

The Giants have been hot and Eli has been mistake free the last month, that being said, 2 weeks kills momentum, and the Pats are riding the longest single season win streak in NFL history, the last game looked ugly but they won and they rarely have 2 bad games back to back.
I hate to predict it, but I think it's a blow out in the end... could it be close, sure... anything is possible, but a blow out would shock me much less then a 3point game.
