Honestly, I would not be surprised if the Giants beat them again.

While the Giants have played well lately, they are still more lucky than good. Let's face it. The NYG didn't really outplay the Packers or the 49ers in their last two games. The Packers had so many dropped passes that would have made a difference in the divisional playoff game. San Francisco lost the NFC championship game because of two turnovers by the punt returner Williams that allowed the Giants to not only get back into the game, but win it. That's what I mean by the Giants being more lucky than good. In assessing the Giants, those two losses to the Redskins and that blowout loss to the Saints are really who these Giants are.

Against the Patriots they will not be as lucky as they have been in recent weeks. Tom Brady has said that the loss to the Giants in Super Bowl 42 still bothers him. Brady will be surgical in carving the Giants secondary all day in this game en route to a blowout victory.
