That being said, for a team whose mantra is "Talk is cheap, play the game" the Giants ran their mouths a lot more this week than the Pats. Guys like Rolle and Jacobs were always going to talk, they've been doing it all year...but you have Manningham barely able to contain his excitement about facing Edelman, JPP saying Brady is afraid of them, Canty guaranteeing a parade on Tuesday, etc. I wish they would shut up and play, but what can you do. Meanwhile the Pats haven't really trash talked at all, they want to avoid another "We're only gonna score 17 points? LOL okay." debacle.
So far I think Mad Dog is the only pundit I've heard predicting a Pats win. He thinks Brady is due to bounce back and that the Giants tend to suck when most everybody picks them. It's a stigma the Giants have had for a while along with not being able to win playoff games at home lately. They checked the playoff one off the list this year finally so hopefully they can take care of business on Sunday. Almost here.

Yeah almost a complete swap of roles in comparison to the 2008 SB. In 2008, Pats barely squeaked by the Giants in the regular season, Giants were mostly quiet and focused on the game, and the Pats were the ones doing the trash talking.
Fast forward to now and its almost a complete reverse. Giants barely squeaked by in the season meeting, Giants trash talking the most, Patriots mostly quiet and focused on the game.
Biggest differences is Patriots give up an experienced defense for one that's more hungry to prove they belong while the Giants have moved away from a dominate rush attack to a more pass attack.
