So, here we are, 32 teams and five months later, and New England and New York are meeting for the Super Bowl in two weeks. The consensus from the series of tubes (read: Internet) is that a Packers-Pats match-up was the best way to go from the four possible outcomes.
Apparently, a Brett Favre-Tom Brady match-up, plus the slim possibility of the ageless one knocking out the undefeated Pats and marching off into the sunset was a storyline few could pass up. But the Pack proved yesterday that they would be no match for New England if they had pulled out the win.
A Giants-Pats game for the league championship is the best game of the four available, for one simple reason: their game in week 17 was the Pats' (second) closest game of the year, and the Giants are on a roll unmatched by any team not from New England. New York goes in as a 14-point underdog, and I'm sure that's just how they like it; no one giving them a chance to win.
But, in the end, the game will be a close one, and likely one of the more entertaining games in the past 10 years. It would not surprise me if the Giants pull off the upset to end all upsets.
But only time will tell. My pick for the game comes next week.

Ok, it's been a week: I want your pick.
I agree, it will be a great game. I would have liked to see Favre play in the Super Bowl, but the Packers would not have stood a chance against The Pats.
Make your pick...then I will make mine.
