In order for the Giants to beat the Patriots they are going to have a pretty spectacular game all in all.  Everyone continues to say that Eli is going to be the key to the game but I differ from that common theory.  Personally I think the key to the game is going to be the Giants O-Line and their RB’s.  Jacobs and Bradshaw are going to have a great game and in order to do this the Giants O-Line has to play well.  Along with this Eli Manning also has to play well but the only way Eli is going to be really effective is if the Giants establish a clear running game.  So I believe if the Giants are successful on the ground they have a chance at winning the game.  The defense will also have to play very well but they will just have to contain the Patriots offense because there really isn’t any way to stop them.

New England Patriots

The Patriots are going to have to stop the Giants from establishing a run game and not bite on play action.  Both of these things come hand in hand because if they stop the Giants run game they will be less likely to jump on play action which is Eli Manning’s best offensive weapon.  Secondly the Patriots will just have to continue playing offense like they have been and they will be successful.

So the keys of the game are the Giants Run game and the Patriots defense look for it to be a close game if the G Men can get something going on the ground.
