    I'm a Giants fan, I love Eli Manning and their running backs (although Brandon Jacobs AND Ahmad Bradshaw are out). Their defense was great, kind of falling apart due to injuries though.

    Now we all know both the Giants and Broncos are falling apart. Giants have lost 4 of their last 5 games, Broncos have lost 4 in a row. Broncos are leading right now 16-3, what are your predictions?

    I'm a huge Giants fan, have been all my life from the Simms to Hostetler to the superbowl win 2 years ago. They don't have it this year, Eli is hurt (foot) and is playing covering up pain) Look forward to next year, they need a new receiver, they have a poor running game this year too might wanna upgrade there if they are willing to. All offseason stuff.

    Its 26-6 right now. Over. There is no Elway in Eli this year.

    I pick New Orleans to win it all this year. Their game is good in every way. This is their year, thats my prediction for the Superbowl, at minimum to make it there but they'll likely win it all.

    Ughh... I'm disappointed right now. Eli's passer rating has dropped tremendously, his timing and throws are definitely off, and they need some new defensive backs.

    I think Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw are great running backs, Danny Ware is also a very good third down back. I just think they need some upgrades on offensive line.

    yeah, you notice how 95% of Eli's throws are off? He's just hurting, just distracted but playing through it. Also, you gotta keep in mind he just won the superbowl a couple years ago, the incentive isn't totally there anymore, not as much as when he had something to prove. When he is healthy again and the Giants upgrade a little they'll be back at the top or near the top.

    Yeah, very true. As for the Super Bowl, it'd be a GREAT showdown if it was Colts vs. Saints, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Colts basically lost to the Patriots if Bellichick didn't make that call, and I'm not too sure about the Saints.

    They won against the RAMS 25-23, and they almost lost to the Dolphins but miraculously came back. If I'm going to chose one team that's going to the Super Bowl, it would be the Patriots. I'm not a fan of the Patriots, but the way they're playing is pretty solid.

    Another contender seems to be the Vikings, but with a loss to the Steelers, that's not going to happen. Steelers have been struggling this season, they have Ben Roethlisberger injured, no true backup QB, and many injuries.

    yeah any one of those teams definitely has a shot at knocking the Saints out, it only takes one good game in the playoffs or one bad game for the Saints and they're done. I just think the Saints have the magic this year if you know what I mean, they're feeling it. Watch them play more and you'll see how many 1st downs they make, one after another after another with ease most of the time.

    Drew Brees is an amazing QB. Monday Night matchup is going to be good though, we'll definitely see if the Saints are truly worthy. But 10-0 is an amazing start, although they haven't exactly played difficult teams until now.

    Colts are good, but they've had an easy schedule so far too. Possible they could pull it off I guess, Peyton knows what he's doing I just think they'll get knocked out in the playoffs for some reason.

    Patriots will be a test for the Saints, we'll see how it goes its only one regular season game though and its not a must win for either team. Only thing at stake is the Saints staying undefeated.
