Vrabel was buried in Pittsburgh’s depth chart before Patriots head coach Bill Belichick recovered Mike. Over the next eight years, Belichick found more ways to use Vrabel than anyone could imagine. Pass rusher was obvious. Run defender was a priority and Vrabel was stout. Pass coverage? Mike did that too. Shift from outside linebacker to inside? Check. Goal line tight end? Vrabel did that too.

Being a part of three Super Bowl-winning teams is what’s important to Vrabel, and he did everything he could to help the Patriots’ cause.

All those TV personalities and media experts always make it a point to pick which team will win the Super Bowl before the first kickoff.
Preseason predictions are completely illogical. Scoring the best free agents and having a NFL Draft rated highly by draftniks has nothing to do with on-field performance. And injuries can turn a team’s fortunes in an instant.

Giants shocked the world when they made it into the playoffs as a Wild Card birth, and finished as Super Bowl champions. Their win ushered in changing of the guard, power-wise, for the NFC as a whole. This is definitely seen when looking at the bottom of the standings for this 2008 season. Now, I know what you are thinking; why look at the bottom of the standings?? This reasoning will be become evident as you read further.

ts game would be listening to the commentators go on and on about how Eli’s experience in the Super Bowl last year has turned him into a better player. He is still the same Eli, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he threw one or two stupid interceptions tomorrow on the way to a Giants easy victory. Whatever happens, it is a game I could hardly bare to watch.

To be totally honest, after the Patriots lost the Super Bowl last year I said I would not be interested in Football untill the start of the regular season. Well I am happy to say I was wrong. Watching training camp for the past week or so I have gotten so amped for Football that I am actually excited for pre-season games.

Asante Samuel held out in the pre-season, had a strong regular season, but showed nothing in the Super Bowl ... the ball HIT HIM IN THE HANDS!!!! That is a play that, once again, a Pro Bowl player NEEDS to make! I could go on forever with this!!

This was a team who was controlling the NFL this decade and who came so close to a Super Bowl game last season. All they needed was weapons for Brady and that's what they got. When the playoffs finally arrived they were able to close out a tough win against a very hot Jaguars team. Then even in the AFC Championship against the Chargers when Tom Brady easily had his worst game of the year, the rest of the team still found a way to rally and beat a team in the Chargers. A team that in my mind should not have been in the AFC Championship game in the first place. I myself as well as others I know here in Boston thought the Pats would face off against the Cowboys in the Super bowl, but we all hoped it was the Green Bay Packers who the Pats would play in

ting outcomes of football games, although last year I nearly predicted the exact final score of the Super Bowl while hitting on seven of my nine prop bets. (My prediction was 26-17, the final was 29-17.) For whatever reason I had a very good feel for that game. This year's

The Super Bowl this year has many people predicting an easy Patriots win, even though there is a general acknowledgement that the Giants will bring a solid game plan and sound execution to the contest. Despite the consensus that the Giants are worthy of being in the game on Sunday after an impressive playoff run, almost every NFL fan and analyst has resigned him or herself to the fact that they are just 100% outmatched. Oh, how wrong they are.
