Am "officially" going with the Pack and Favre as well, Big Larry!

However something doesn't feel right about having said that.
With the huge lift and confidence "high" that the G-men have been riding after having stood toe to toe with The PATS, it gives me cause for concern. While I do think that Eli is improving with each post season win, 'too much too fast' sets itself up for a BIG Crash (missed reads and INTS, and he is gonna get slammed this week), imo . Also, will Toomer and Plax be soft in the bitter temps that are predicted for Lambeau??

With the above things considered, it is more likely that this adrenline ride is ovah for the Giants.
A much stronger, faster, and hungrier D-line and D-backs coupled with the confidence and rebirth of The Old Gunslinger riding off into the Sunset of his career, just seems like too much for Eli and Company to handle.
Likewise, it feels as though Brett is willing his team to the Shoot Out in the Desert at the Super Bowl Corral.

I also agree, Larry, that it would make for much better theater and serve as a true test of Brady's mettle.
Was it Rick Flair who said,

"To BE tha MAN, you've got to beat THE Man! WOOOO!!"?

I fully expect #12 to do THAT, and more. And lest we forget his very formidible POSSE on both sides of the Ball??? Although the Pack is good, perhaps great, they will be no match for the EXCELLENCE that is
OUR New England Patriots !!!!

Happy Hunting to ALL!
