This one should be pretty easy... then again maybe not. On the one hand you've got the undefeated New England Patriots, led by quarterback Mr. Gisele Bundchen, the guy most Americans would now most want to be like. On the other hand you've got the upstart New York Giants, probably the team with the most momentum in the NFL (or at least... more than the Patriots), led by the incomparable (well, apart from his brother... and every other quarterback in the league) son of Archie Manning.
The Heart says: I wanna see history happen. I wanna see that video games can be just as realistic as real life. I wanna see a 19-0 team in my lifetime. And yes, I too wanna be like Tom. He left his old flame Bridget Moynahan (but not before giving her a lasting parting gift "wink, wink"), and then actually UPGRADED in companionship. The only other guy who managed to do that, was Brad Pitt, who traded Jennifer for Angelina, and even he had some detractors for that. Tom doesn't have those.
The Head says: I gotta give it to the Pats again, but in all fairness the Giants actually look stronger. Tougher. More scary. They've got a duo of backs (Bradshaw, Jacobs) that strike fear in the hearts of opposing linebackers. They've got a duo of defensive ends who strike fear in the hearts of opposing quarterbacks (Umenyiora, Strahan). And they have Peyton's little brother. The Giants don't turn the ball over much, while the Pats seem to be slumming it a little. And the Giants take their three-point loss to New England in Week 17 as a moral victory, one that might give them the edge come Sunday.
The Gut says: the upset won't happen. Moss will not get a clean catch, but probably a few good penalties called in his favour. Brady will find Welker when he needs to. Maroney will pound the line for critical yards. Belichick will come up with some intelligent plays. And Boston celebrates their dominance over the North American sports world with another ticker tape parade.
New England by 10 points.
