San Diego Chargers at New England Patriots (W)
Whether or not San Diego can make this a game will depend upon the health of their big name players. The Charger defense is much, much better than it was in the first part of the season when they visited Foxboro, and I do think they will have some success at putting pressure on Tom Brady. This will keep the Chargers in the game for a while, but if Rivers can't play and if Tomlinson isn't his normal self, it's not going to matter. The Chargers need long drives to control time of possession. They can't win a shootout. If New England has a weakness, it's their rush defense, but as Jacksonville found out, that really won't matter if New England gets a lead and can force an inexperienced quarterback to try to pass his team back into the game. It's a good game at half time, but the Pats win by a couple of touchdowns in the end.

The Giants come into this game with a lot of confidence. The question is whether or not, like San Diego, injuries will catch up to them. A secondary riddled with backups may have been able to handle Jeff Garcia and Tony Romo. Expecting them to handle Brett Favre is another matter entirely. The Giants must get pressure on Favre with four or five. If they can't get pressure, or have to bring six or seven on blitzes, the Packers passing attack will kill them. On the flip side, the Giants must establish the running game early and keep the down & distance manageable for Eli Manning. Eli has elevated his game a bit in the past few weeks, but he is not yet able to win a game by throwing the ball 40 times. Much like the Chargers, the Giants simply do not have the firepower to stay with Green Bay. Turnovers are the great equalizer of course, but unless the Giants get 2-3 of them and don't give up any themselves, Green Bay will sew things up in the second half. Favre has a good game and the Packers punch their ticket to Arizona.

I vote for ...
New England Patriots
and
Green Bay Packers
The Superbowl will be the New England Patriots vs the Green Bay Packers. We also have to factor weather in this. Who knows if either place will get snow, but early forecasts say that both places will be darn cold. GB might be under 0 during part of the game. Maybe we will have the second coming of the ice bowl.

Patriots.
The game is on! Goooooooo Chargers!!!
The Chargers have been very effective at limiting Pats passing game so far, so now they ramped up the running game, and had a really good drive well into field goal range, until...
Brady intercepted, muahahaha..
Chargers only 2 points behind, 12-14, and now they have the ball.
Touchdowns beat field goals. San Diego will look back at this game and count probably 6-8 questionable red zone play calls and missed opportunities as the reason they lost this one. They got a great effort from their defense that ultimately ended up being wasted.
Yeah, it was a great effort, but it is all over now.
...I'm stunned.
The wrong upset team won this weekend
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHhh
WHY?
Yeah, as much as I idol the Packers, they didn't deserve to win anyway. Played like crap the entire game.
