If this is an OVER game it will have to reveal itself in the second half. I think they will just probe eachother all during the first half. Then let it go the second. JMO.

Since this game is pretty much a toss-up, I'm taking the GIANTS to get the W.... but I definitely think the UNDER is the play and got it at 55.5.
While both teams can light it up, there are several situational factors that may contribute to a lower scoring game.
For time of possession/game flow, I bet the Patriots run their fair share of no-huddle, but the Giants will shorten the game and stubbornly force the run game regardless of early results. Play calling is generally conservative in the first quarter while players settle down and both teams assess the situation.
In terms of defense, I think the Giants will be just as good as advertised... "Big Nickel" pretty much means three safeties to guard the outfield and force the offense to play 10-yard fight most of the night. I also think Vince Wilfork and the Patriots D will put in a quality performance aided by whatever new wrinkles Master Hoodie unleashes to gain the early advantage and/or try to get nto Eli's head. I'll be interested to see how quickly Coughlin can adapt and counter.
As far as special teams and turnovers, Brady will have a far better outing than 2 weeks ago. Both teams will take care of the football. In San Francisco, the Giants kick returner (Ross) went down early with both arms over the ball for the last 3 possessions of the game and I expect more of that in the SB.
The X-Factor really is the GRONK situation. He'll definitely play and
he's tough enough to finish the game, but he's not going to be nearly as
effective and the Giants D will make a point of it to give him a bad
day at the office wherever he's lined up.
Grinding it out is going to suck but I bet it does wind up somewhere around 51.
All in all I think the UNDER comes in tomorrow. BOL fellas!

Eli had bad mojo while he tore up GB. I'm not thinking his bad mojo today is going to effect him. However, me and my Chicago dollars will be on NE. I just think the week off will have a negative effect on their momentum. GL ole buddy!
