33. Praying for my Pats!

It will be tough because they are playing a Manning in the House of Manning and pressure will be on them with the whole "rematch" hype, but I'm thinking they'll pull it off based on the following criteria:

1. Redskins beat the Giants 2x in regular season
2. Pats beat the Redskins in regular season
3. Pats don't normally lose to teams twice in one season (regular and post combined)
4. Pats have alot of weapons on offense. Gronk is a beast!

With that in mind, Brady has to have the game of his life and not "suck" as he put it last week. Historically, Brady comes off of bad games with better performances, but who knows? Also, the D has to keep pressure on Manning and their secondary has to step up and make key plays.

The Pats have to score something on at least 80% of their possessions and not throw interceptions. And for God's sake Tom, don't throw on second down in the red zone. Pound the damn thing in with Woodie and BenJarvus.

Pats 27-20
