Super Bowl Sunday is almost here. These are the keys for each team and who I think will win
Patriots - Rob Gronkowski's ankle has been the talk ever since they beat the Ravens and will continue to be the talk up until kickoff. The Patriots reported no set backs after his practice yesterday but there wasn't any running involved. If Gronkowski can't go or is limited that will hurt the Patriots offense severely and they will need to lean on Wes Welker and Aaron Hernandez more.
The Patriots defense needs to keep those Giants wide receivers in front of them. If they get behind them Eli will have a field day and the Giants will score at will. This will put all of the pressure on the Patriots pass rush.
Giants - Pressuring Tom Brady is the key for the Giants. It's the main reason they won against them in the previous Super Bowl and will be the main reason they beat them again this year. Jason Pierre-Paul, Justin Tuck, Osi and the gang are fast and can cause havoc to opposing quarterbacks. If they disrupt Brady they will have a great chance to win.
Establishing a run game will help the Giants open up the pass game which is where they want to attack the Pats. Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs don't need to have career games they need to do enough to keep the defense honest. If they can have success on first down they can open up the play book and air it out.
Prediction Giants 34, Patriots 28
