Super Bowl 2012: New York's Front Four Will Lead Giants to Lombardi Trophy

How do you defeat the New England Patriots?

You must get pressure on Tom Brady while being able to cover the underneath routes.

Who is the best team in the NFL that can get pressure with their front four while dropping seven?

The New York Giants.

New York will get loads of pressure on Brady, which will lead to a Giants Super Bowl victory and their second Lombardi Trophy in the past five years.

The Giants recorded 19 hits on quarterbacks this postseason to go along with nine sacks. They recorded 48 sacks in the regular season; their success at rushing the quarterback is evident.

Brady shows small signs of struggling when you get pressure up the middle. Jason Pierre-Paul, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck will be in on Brady forcing the "Golden Boy" to make decisions more quickly before delivering the football.

Pierre-Paul led the Giants with 16.5 sacks this season, Umenyiora finished with nine in an injury-plagued year and Tuck ended with five. They can get pressure on the quarterback and Brady will find out firsthand next Sunday.

Their pressure on Brady will force turnovers, force errant passes and will allow their defense to contain the Patriots offense. They certainly can’t stop New England’s passing attack, but they have to be able to limit their production.

They will and it starts with their front four.

If they have success in the trenches, the Giants will be able to be in the game in the end. This will allow Eli Manning the opportunity to win the game with his arm similar to what he did in their previous Super Bowl meeting.

New York has the better team, but New England has the better offense. Whoever wins when New England has the football will come out victorious in Super Bowl XLVI.

The Giants have the better team with the better defense, which is the exact reason why I think they will come out on top.

Prediction: Giants 28, Patriots 27
