The Giants are close to winning the division at the halfway point. The Broncos are leading their division and Manning is going to get better every week as he gets more comfortable.

What are the chances that we see the Manning Bowl this year? If not this year, what about in the next 3?

I like Eli's chance to make it to the SB much more than Peyton's just based on the teams that'll likely be in the playoffs from both conferences.

In new Orleans at that? Wow - I hadn't thought of that until your post - seriously.

I think the odds are very good. And the ratings would be off the chart.

I don't like Eli's chances better at all. The NFC is still more competitive and the Giants just overcame a ton to win the superbowl.. Teams don't repeat in the NFL like they use to.

It isn't about repeating. The game is still about matchups. And, the Giants are built to beat the best teams in the NFC. They get pressure on the QB, have good pass coverage, can run the ball, and have a QB that can go extremely hot very quickly.

If they make the playoffs, they'll matchup very well with every team they play. Plus, they know how to win on the road in the playoffs.

This Giants team has a great shot.

I'd take Bears and Falcons on a neutral field right now over the Giants. Doesn't matter either way as only half the season is done.

I don't think it really matters where they play. The Giants have won 2 Super Bowls playing zero playoff games at home. I think that both Matt Ryan and Jay Cutler would get killed by the Giants pash rush.

If the Giants offense gets going, they are going to be really hard to beat on any field. That said, they'll probably get beat by a wildcard team now that I've made a prediction.

Too bad Peyton would have to go through New England to do it.

The Patriots could very well lose prior to even playing the Broncos. They are not any where close to being the Patriots of old.

I think it would be one of the highest watched Super Bowls in recent history.

This. So 0.15% of Manning Bowl.

Unless NE meets the Steelers in an earlier playoff matchup.

I don't care too much for Eli but how can you not root for Peyton?
