I am somewhat of a trend player and with that being said there is a key trend I cannot ignore. Teams to beat the defending SB champs in the playoffs have NEVER won their next playoff game. Well my Giants just beat GB and they have looked great over the last 3 games. The trend tells me they will lose to SF next Sunday. I do like SF without that trend anyways and here is why.
The Giants have been on an emotional roller coaster over the past month and they just beat the best team in the regular season on the road. talk about an emotional high but now they have to travel to SF where they lost earlier in the year in a great game 27-20. I look at these Giants and I see last years Jets. Jets got hot late and in the 2nd round upset the best regular season team the Patriots. Then the next week they get their teeth kicked in by Pittsburgh. SF is the toughest team physically in the league and they create turnovers. They will get after Eli all game long and create turnovers. Alex will manage the game and SF special teams and defense will do their part. The best defense in the league gets it done.
