New York Giants
In order for the Giants to beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, they’d have to have a pretty spectacular game all in all. Most insist that Eli will be the key to the game, but I’d have to disagree.
Personally I think the keys are going to be the Giants' O-Line and their RBs. Jacobs and Bradshaw are going to have a great game, but in order to support this the Giants O-Line has to play well.
Of course Eli will also have to perform, but the only way that he is going to be really effective is if the Giants establish a clear running game.
If the Giants are successful on the ground they have a chance at winning.
The defense will also have to play very well, but they will just have to contain the Patriots' offense because there really isn’t any way to stop them.
New England Patriots
The Patriots are going to have to prevent the Giants from establishing a run game and also keep from biting on play action.
These strategies, of course, come hand in hand. If they stop the Giants' run game they will be less likely to jump on play action—which is Eli Manning’s best offensive weapon.
As long as the Patriots maintain the season’s offense, they will be successful.
So the keys of the game are the Giants’ run game and the Patriots’ defense. Look for the game to be close if the G Men can get something going on the ground.
