   That is impossible. The rules state that they would continue to play until the game was decided. If overtime ran out, they would start another 15 minute period. Ties can only happen during the regular season, so YOU WILL NEVER SEE THAT!

   I have a tough time choosing which one will win. I'll just pick the Giants since they have a good pair of running backs to use to run the ball. It seems like they have better pass rushers. They are performing very well so far during the postseason.

    You can't take much away from Brady and the Pats offense, even with Gronk banged up -- but you have to play defense too. The shakey Patriot defense just mailed it in until a couple of games ago.
    
    The Giants are well balanced and healthy but, the last I read, they were 3 point underdogs. (?)

          Actually the Patriots even had more rushing yards(1764) during the regular season than the Giants(1427). BJGE and Woodhead beats out Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs? And while I agree that New York's defense is better than the Patriots D, I think with a lack of a ground game the Giants just cannot survive.

    Welker's a total system guy, but still a great player. Hernandez is the most talented receiver they have, and Gronkowski is open mostly because of Hernandez. Let's be straight though, not a single one of these guys would be near any records if say Mark Sanchez was throwing them the ball.

    That's the point though. Welker definitely is a good player and MIGHT end up being a HOFer, but the bust better be of him on his knees thanking Tom Brady. Cris Carter is so far and away better than Welker and he's still not in the Hall after 4 years on the ballot. He will get his numbers but hasn't been a difference-maker since his knee injury.

    All I know is that this game will be very close, as I doubt we'll have a blow out in this year's super bowl.  Although the Giants DID earn their last super bowl victory against the Patriots, but the sad reality is that the Pats took the game too lightly.  You can tell by the way Brady arrogantly refused to shake Eli's hand before the game, and how Billichick shamelessly ran back to the locker room before the game was even over, so he could congratulate Coughlin and the Giants that year; especially considering how cruelly Billichick forced other coaches to watch his undefeated pats, at the time, to run up the score un-sportsman like to prove their dominance.  Needless to say, I think in a way the Pats needed to lose that Super Bowl, in order for them to realize that what got them to their previous championships had nothing to do with being the most talented team on the field.  No, it was all about playing as the smartest team on the field that won them their previous super bowls.  Therefore, I doubt seriously the Patriots are going to take the game lightly this time.
    
    As for the Giants, they're the underdogs again, as everyone is counting them out as it seems, and they love it.  They feed off of it, with their patented "Us vs the world" mentality.  Plus, this also puts them in the unique position of having NOTHING to lose at all, while the Patriots have everything to lose.  What do I mean by that?  The pats are favored to win, so if they lose, then it'll be declared an upset, and they'll have to suffer the humiliation of hearing how they lost to the Giants...AGAIN..after being favored over them...AGAIN!  Whereas the Giants, if they lose, who cares?  They were expected to lose.  Sure, they'll be sad about it, but as long as they play a close game, then nobody will criticize them, as most sports casters will say they just lost to a superior team.  But if they win, then it'll only make their victory all that much sweeter.  Hence, the Giants are the most dangerous team right now, as they have NOTHING to lose, but EVERYTHING in the world to gain.  Therefore they're very dangerous people.
    
    The patriots have a lot to lose here, so they better not take the game lightly again.
    
    I think the giants are talented enough to win, and so do the patriots.  I can see this super bowl going either way, as I truly believe this will come down to the wire.
    
    The x-factor the giants will be if their running game to keep the pats' offense off the field and reduce their touches like they did with the Packers; while giving their defense a enough rest so they can be prepared to take on Tom Brady and his pats' offense.
    
    
    The x-factor for the patriots will depend on the health of gronkowski.  If he's at least 80 percent healthy, then it'll help create various match up problems for the Giants' D, and not to mention make the Pats' offense more explosive.  However, if he's under 80 percent healthy, then the Pats will lose the Super Bowl. 
    
    In the end, I predict this game will be decided by ten points or less.

       Come on Belicheck didnt shake hands because he is a sore loser. Fact is he left the field before the clock even ran out.
       
       The only thing you can say about the Pats in that SB was that they were embarrassed.
       
       As in any game, the team that wants it more will be the team that wins. ..
