The Super Bowl Champions are...

The winner of the Vince Lombardi trophy goes to the New York Giants! It was a great game and was exciting right down to the very last second. However; that means my prediction was wrong. My analysis of the statistical data based on hotness, names and hair was completely correct but it doesn't mean the Patriots were the better team. At least, not tonight.

There were a lot of great plays tonight like Manningham's catch on the sideline and the Giants punter dropping the ball with in the ten several times. Also, Belichick letting the Giants score with less than a minute a left was a brilliant decision because it actually gave his team a chance at the end zone and a victory. 

There were also some not great things like the Patriots very first play of the game resulting in a safety. Seriously awful. I know Gronkowski was only about 50% tonight because of the ankle sprain but that makes me question whether or not he should have been out there at all. He clearly wasn't effective since I can only recall one catch he made. I will say that he is always a welcome sight though. 

If you want to read a great article talking about the highs and the lows of the game Greg Garber has written a great one for ESPN and feel free to check it out here.
