Week 9 - Reliving a Wonderful Memory!

It's hard to believe, but it's been 4 years since my NY Giants pulled off the greatest upset in pro sports history, when they defeated the previously unbeaten New England Patriots. I mean, who could ever forget this moment...



And, of course, this!



That was the highlight of each Giants Super Bowl victory I've seen in my lifetime. They meet again, but this time, the G-men will be in hostile territory. But to be honest, they are my upset special this week, despite their problems in the past. They match up nicely with the Patriots receivers. If we can't win it this weekend, there's always the phrase that will live forever for New England fans...



Last week, we were caught off guard with St. Louis' victory over the Saints.  Drew Brees should have held off on throwing a couple of TD's and saved them for the next week.  In addition to my upset special, look for a big game between the Jets and the Bills in Buffalo, which has playoff implications.
