well, it’s roughly 7 hours until kickoff so i’m going to make a prediction about today’s game. there’s a lot to consider when you look at today’s game between the giants and patriots. on the one hand, the patriots have literally been unstoppable all year. on the other hand, the giants are 10-1 including the playoffs when they play on the road. and this year the giants are the road team, so hopefully that means they’ll be 11-1 on the road including the playoffs. 
but in reality, every year it’s always the team with the most commercial break segments who comes out on top, and i don’t think this year will be any exception. until about 8 or 9 years ago, the nfl used to put equal time on the segments they would show both from the game and individual players’ comments about the chance to be in the superbowl. but i’ve had plenty of people insist that the superbowl is fixed, and i didn’t believe them at all until the game between the raiders and the buccanneers. that was when i first noticed this phenomenon.
in that game, there was something like 8 players from tampa bay talking about playing in the big game, and only jerry rice from the raiders as i recall. every year since then it’s followed the same pattern. so look out for which team is favored in the commercial segments to be the ultimate winner in this game. and if it happens again this year as it has over the past 8, i will finally believe that this game is more corrupt than a heavyweight boxing match.
