They have been good but not great all year long. Granted, the NFC is the weakest it has ever been, but I think that with Chicago having home field, which I'm assuming will happen but who knows anymore? And Nawleans looking to do the same, I don't believe the Giants can sneak into another Superbowl. Of course, if they do, they will be embarrassed again -- but that's neither here nor there.

I think that the NFL wants a Peyton/Eli Super Bowl, but not yet. Eli hasn't established himself as a star... and if you think he has, you're wrong. He's just a #1 draft pick who made a fuss and is related to some good QBs. I think it's best to wait until Peyton is on the downside of his career, since he is a top-5 all-time QB, and Elisha... isn't. So you take Eli in his prime against Peyton on the decline, with Addai in his prime and who knows, maybe Harrison is still playing second fiddle to Wayne but I doubt it... Eli, Plax, Shockey, Brandon Jacobs vs the Colts... it will make for a far better "showdown," in my opinion. ALSO, I think that two in one season would be overkill. They had the manning bowl and it sucked. Let Eli hit his stride first.
