INDIANAPOLIS, IN - FEBRUARY 01: Official signage of the Lombardi Trophy and Super Bowl XLVI is seen on the exterior of the J.W.

It's Super Bowl week, and that means every media outlet is talking about the Super Bowl. Well, so are we - but we're doing it in the form of predictions. Will Tom Brady get his fourth Super Bowl ring, or will Eli Manning and the Giants stand in his way yet again? Can the Pats outscore the Giants despite their terrible defense?

I doubt it. I'm going with a Giants win. Both teams have outstanding offenses, but the Giants actually have a defense to go with that offense. That gives New York the edge in my mind. What do you think?

My gut tells me Tom Brady will have his revenge...

but all logic points to the Giants winning…

I remember the excitement when the Bucs were in this game.

I was literally stoked. I drank, I ate, I drank some more. I watched a dominating defense at its best and unfortunately at its twilight. i would love nothing more than for Coach Schiano bring us back to that type of feared and respected defense. Contrary to putupyourdukes opinion.

The giants win because they HAVE DEFENSE. He final score: Giants 31 – Patriots 27

So hard to say

You know Pats want revenge at all costs for the Giants ruining their perfect season. But giants defense is better. Plus, even though Gronkowski is playing, you know he’s not near 100%, and he is a big part of their offense. Giants win 27-24. Plus I grew up on the Giants and didn’t start rooting for Bucs til 1997 so I still have a place in my heart for the Gmen. I remember the days of Joe Morris, LT, Simms, phil mckoncky (sp?). Any of you guys remember those names? A few are obvious.. But not all
