Does anybody know of any online places that do Super Bowl squares? My guy isn't doing a second board this year and I'm shit out of luck.

Other note: Even if Ben is not elite, he is def still top five, 2 SB rings, 3 appearances, a healthy Big Ben is dangerous, right now he makes that offense
Please explain to me how you came to this gem of a conclusion? Was it completion percentage? No. Yards? No. Touchdowns? No. TDs to INTS? No. QB rating? No. Wins? No. Playoff victories? No.

I see these offenses as being a toss up. Both QBs are elite IMO. The Giants have the edge in defense and special teams. The Pats have the edge with the "Hoodie", because nobody gameplans like he does. I'm going with the Giants in a close one. Something like 27-23.

If the patriots O line can hold strong they'll be fine. I also think they need to get the law firm going.

Key of the game...if the Gmen front 7 can get to Brady, which I think they can.

I'm kind of indifferent on the game. I call NE winning it a while ago, but I don't plan on putting any cash on it so I wouldn't mind seeing NY win. I'm here so why not. Giants fans are a hell of a lot more tolerable than fans of NY Ryans.

Big if. I'd be worried about the Giant's WRs abusing the patriots poor pass coverage.

they didn't do too bad the last time they played. They gave up 24 points but if they offense is clicking then hopefully they can take some pressure off the defense to constantly make big stops

I forget, cause it was early on. But did Nicks and or Manningham play in that game?

Thanks. Bradshaw I didnt know, but him playing wont be as big a deal as Nicks, imo. Nicks will free up Cruz to be single covered more going up the seam and on the drag routes.

I agree, totally forgot he didn't play. But i think it really comes down to our O line and running game. Brady needs time to throw and the run needs to set our play action since NE does so much of it.

So IF Brady does get this W, where does he rank all time? Will he be deemed as the GOAT?

Who else has 4 sbs? I think you also have to factor in 4 SB in 5 trips since 2001. Pretty impressive stretch.

This game could go either way, and i HATE the Pats, but nobobdy beats Brady twice in a season.

Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana are both 4-0 in Super Bowls.

So then a win makes him top 3 and then talking heads can rank them based on all their stats.

Terry Bradshaw is not a top 3 QB of all time. I was just showing who has 4 SB wins.

To me its (If Brady wins another)

1. Tom Brady
2. Joe Montana
3. Peyton Manning

Bro-in-law in Vegas says a huge influx of NYG money will move the line to 2 by kick-off. O/U @ 55 is highest in SB history.

Heard on mike and mike that the point differential from their last 3 meetings is NY +4. These games are always close, i'd take the under on 55.

First time I will ever agree with you. Bradshaw isn't even close to a top 3 QB. Without looking at a list of QBs, I honestly don't think I'd put Bradshaw in the top 15.
