Do I like them???? (not a bit)

Do I like them to win??? (chances are they will although that will make me sad)

I still keep finding myself thinking that the Packers will sneak in and take it but then again I'm old and likely a bit senile.

if NE wins, Eli and the Giants are still the only ones to beat the GOAT and the dynasty (twice) in the super bowl.

Yes.

Lucky to live in MA, where we have historically excellent pro sports teams. It makes rooting for your team easier when they actually win. What the Patriots have done in the last 17 years is unlikely to ever be repeated. For Belichek and Brady to win so consistently for so long with an ever revolving cast of players is outrageous.

And part of it is the rest of the leagues inability to put together a good team, and definitely their inability to find a good head coach. How many coaches have we seen simply fold under pressure against the Pats? Literally hand them the game? Seattle in the Super Bowl. Atlanta in the Super Bowl. The Steelers more than once, most recently this season.

I give more credit to Tom Coughlin than Eli Manning for those two Super bowl wins. Great game planning. And BTW, the way the Giants treated Manning this past season was embarrassing - he deserved much better.

Go Pats!

According to a word count in an English translation of the Bible we have

Eagles 33
Patriots 0

I'm not expecting a shutout but stranger things have happened.

I used to say "The only fans in all of sports that are more long-suffering than Lions fans are Cubs fans."

Now, Lions fans have this distinction alone.

You guys definitely have the right idea, I left it on and it is pretty forgettable so far. Lady Gaga Blew it out of the water last year.
