The Best Day In NFL Season

Hello. Two compelling games this Sunday.
If San Diego beats New England on their field, it would be an upset of gigantic proportions. I think the NFL league office would want to commit suicide. New England in the Super Bowl going for a perfect season would make the Super Bowl the highest viewed sports program ever.
San Diego would be an underdog even if they were healthy. With Phillip Rivers, their starting QB, and LT, the all-world running back, at best questionable, they will be very hard-pressed. It is possible San Diego can win, as they showed by beating Indy. Very unlikely however.
Green Bay-Giants should be a much closer game. Again, the NFL office and the media would love to see Brett Favre and the Packers get into the Super Bowl. They'd also like the Giants and the huge New York market, so they're much more relaxed over this one.
I think the Giants have a real chance in this one. They have a veteran team, and Eli Manning is coming into form. If he stays in this form, they're right there. Green Bay may have to worry about being too much in the "win one for Brett" mode. If the moment doesn't overwhelm them, it may come down to fatigue and weather. Green Bay then wins.
I predict New England-Green Bay.

Regards,
Steve
