New York Giants

I’m torn here. For every good reason to root for these guys, there’s an equally compelling reason to root against them. So I made a list of pros and cons:

Pro: Eli can finally step out of his brother’s shadow and establish himself as his own man. In a poetic way, he can bring about his ousted brother’s vengeance.

Con: We’re not ready to sit through an offseason of Peyton vs. Eli discussions on ESPN. Also, did you know Eli is short for Elisha?

Pro: Tiki Barber will have to stop writing his book. Immediately.

Con: Michael Strahan will write a book.

Pro: The Giants played hard in a meaningless sixteenth game. If they have success, coaches all over the league will have to take those games more seriously to keep their players fresh, like the Giants did.

Con: The words “Tom Coughlin” and “genius” could be mentioned in the same sentence.

Packers all the way. They have a much better shot at beating New England.
