On February 1, 2009, the two best teams in the NFL will play for the Super Bowl championship in Tampa Bay, Florida. Who is your pick to take home the Lombardi Trophy?
...the New York Giants pulled off an unexpected (and well-deserved) win over the New England Patriots. Can Eli Manning and team win again?

I know it’s only one game, and against the lowly Raiders, but rookie WR Eddie Royal owned veteran CB D’Angelo Hall in the opening game. He ate his lunch. Royal is the No. 2 receiver once Brandon Marshall returns from DUI school.
My secret wish, however, is that the Jets and Packers meet in Super Bowl XLIII.
Guess what: the Giants will be 8-8, the Dallas Cowboys are a pompous joke, and the Patriots AND the Chargers are out of the running. The Phildelphia Eagles have waited LONG ENOUGH for a Super Bowl victory. This is their season!
Okay, this isn’t so much a prediction of who WILL win, but who I WANT to win. I’m a long-time die-hard Steelers fan b/c I was born and raised in the Steel Town. As is said there, we bleed black and gold.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady went down during the first game of the season and is out for the rest of the year with a knee injury. Can backup quarterback Matt Cassel rally the team for a repeat of the miracle 2001 season?
Brett Favre made waves by retiring from the Green Bay Packers, then coming back out of retirement in hopes of playing for them again, and after a bitter split he’s now playing for the New York Jets. Imagine if this 38-year-old took them all the way to the Super Bowl?

I foresee THE RAMS, baby… Don’t be jealous because my jheri curl holds more oil than the sovereign nation of Brunei.
