SUPER BOWL!!!!!

Last time these 2 met in the Super Bowl, the Giants came out on top. 
Sorry I haven't been posting that much I've been really busy. Anyway my favorite team THE GMEN are against The Patriots in Super Bowl 46!!!!!!!!! I could not have asked for a better matchup in the Super Bowl. This game will come down to a couple of things here:
1] Rob Gronkowski - Assuming that he plays [which he probably will] he will be a mismatch nightmare for New York. I think that they should put Ja'Quan Williams on him with help on top from Deon Grant. Even if all goes as planned for The Giants, Gronkowski should have a big game.
2] NYG's receiving core - Victor Cruz will draw tons of attention and will make a difference somehow. Even though Hakeem Nicks is the dominant receiver on this team in the playoffs, a big part of that is because Cruz has drawn tons of attention causing teams to double team him with their safeties leaving the door wide open for Nicks to dominate the secondary. Throw in Mario Manningham, Travis Beckum, Jake Ballard and a weak Pats secondary and the receiving core should have a huge game.
3] The Defensive Matchup and Running Game - These are 2 things that the Pats have struggled with throughout the season but lately they've been figuring out especially the defense. The Pats haven't allowed more than 20 pts. in the whole post season [even though they haven't faced an elite qb yet] that's pretty impressive. I've been really surprised that the New England didn't find their running game this season considering they have 4 real threats in BenJaurvus Green-Ellis, Danny Woodhead, Stevan Ridley and Kevin Faulk and that should be a rushing attack that any team would like to have. The Giants had a horrible running game and a horrible secondary that improved A LOT in the post season. Their pass rush was always great but in the post season it has been amazing!! The running game reminds me of the '07 playoff run.
I could just write about the qb matchup but that would take up way to much space and it's really up for grabs
Overall Prediction:
This game will be slow to begin with, at halftime it will be around 7-0, 3-0 or 7-3 so not high scoring at all but both teams will come busting out of the gates and Eli and Tom will put on a clinic like they always do and the final score will be 23-27.....................GIANTS!
MVP: Eli Manning
