Steve McMurray's Pick:
Both quarterbacks are stars, which means whomever’s defense falters most will lose. The Giants Defense has stepped up big in the past few games, while the Pats D is a little more suspect. The big emphasis will be on the offensive lines as well. Whichever one protects their quarterback better will likely win.

Jason Powles' Pick:
Despite the fact that the Patriots have won 10 straight coming into the match up, the Giants seem to be playing better defensively. They are able to create turnovers in key situations. A turnover could decide this game.

Mike Levin's Pick:
Everyone is talking about Super Bowl XLII, as a reason why NY will win again. The better argument is Week 9, when the Giants beat NE 24-20. But, I’m still going with the Pats, whose defense is obviously not as good as NY’s, but has been coming up with the big plays in big situations. The Patriots have never won without Vinatieri kicking a game winning field goal, but this time, in a battle of two of the NFL’s best QBs, it will be Gostkowski who will win it, in memory of Myra Kraft, the late wife of Patriots owner, and my father’s former high school classmate, Bob Kraft.

Kristen Copeland's Pick:
There will NOT be a wardrobe malfunction during the Super Bowl Halftime show….but I do predict an entertaining performance by the Material Girl and whomever joins Madonna on stage. As for the game, I agree with Steve.

Jill Reale's Pick:
As an avid Jets fan, it is a tough decision but I am going for the Giants. I just cant root for the Patriots, even though Brady is the more attractive Quarterback.

Bill Kardas' Pick:
Being a Jets fan, I have no particular team to root for, but I’d like to see the Patriots dish out revenge on the Giants.

Nicole Pitt's Pick:
I’m a Buffalo Bills fan so the outcome really doesn’t matter to me. So I’ll go with New York. :)

Andrew Donovan's Pick:
I think the Patriots are a better team, but the Giants seem to have the momentum going forward. I think it will be a close nail-biter.

Nicole Hart's Pick:
I think it’s going to be a good game defensively. But I think it’s going to come down to the wire. I think the Pats will lead the first half, but the G-men will take over and dominate the second half. I think the score will be tied at 21 in the last minutes of the fourth quarter and the G-Men will score at the last second, and kick the field goal to make them the champs!

Shaun Kaleta's Pick:
This is a tough one for me, considering I am a huge Bills fan and the Giants and Patriots certainly have our number. But, I’ll make a prediction anyway… the Giants will win big! The Patriots defense, particularly their secondary, has been terrible all season long. Sure, the defense improved a touch over the course of the last two games, but Joe Flacco and especially Tim Tebow can’t throw the ball effectively. Plus, the Patriots have the second worst ranked defense in NFL history! That’s tough to hide in the big game. Look for Eli Manning and Cruz to stay on a roll and for Tom Brady to be on the ground, just like Super Bowl 42.
