Well, after spending several days going back and forth with this pick, I have settled on the NY Giants upsetting the New England Patriots. Even though I, like most Americans, have a insatiable appetite to cheer for the underdog, my head is going to win out. I think that the New England Patriots will complete their historic season and defeat the New York Giants. Although I am surprised by a significant number of the “experts” picking the Patriots to win by a very large margin.

I believed that the Green Bay Packers were the best team in the NFC, but they ran into the buzz saw of the New York Giants. The Giants are playing great on the road and love being the underdog. I think that all of the pressure is on the New England Patriots and they have faced another controversial week with the new Spygate allegations hitting the newswire. Eli Manning has played mistake free and the running game is clicking on all cylinders. Add the surprising play of the Giants secondary and Burress playing lights out football, I believe that this could be one of the better Super Bowls in recent memory. I won’t try to predict a score, but I feel like a 3-4 point win game is about right.

Byes: None.
Last Week: 1-1
Regular Season: 167-89 (.652)
Playoffs: 7-3

I’ve had a blast with my Nostradamus picks. I think I had a pretty decent season for my first time around. Unfortunately, this is the end of another great NFL season. A time of the year that no football fan enjoys. (Thank god for the NFL Network.)

Not even Peyton Manning’s Pep Talk can help you out.
