(WXYZ) - We asked Don Shane, Tom Leyden and Brad Galli to pick a winner in the big game. Here's what they had to say:
Don Shane
I can’t go against Tom Brady who’s coming off a bad game. Two weeks to get ready for a team that already beat you once this season? 27-21 Patriots!
Tom Leyden
As a Giants fan, I’m pulling hard for the G-Men and hope Big Blue brings home a fourth world championship, which would be one more than the Patriots have won as a franchise.
New England presents an enormous challenge and I think the Patriots have an edge in this game. In short, I agree with Vegas. The line is Patriots -3 and that’s the way I see it going. Will I be rooting the other way? No question. Do I think the Giants have the potential to win? Absolutely.
This is a heart vs. head situation for me and I think Bill Belichick and Tom Brady have a lot to play for and a lot to prove. I think the Patriots have a little bit of karma on their side and an angel in the sky looking over the team in Bob Kraft’s recently passed wife, Myra.
My heart says G-Men! My head says Patriots 26-23. Let’s hope the heart wins and Big Blue is riding down Broadway Tuesday morning with ticker tape falling from the sky.
Brad Galli
Tom Brady. That's my key to the Super Bowl. Perhaps the closest thing to a legend we have playing in the NFL today. He lives for big moments. He IS big games. He'll have to do it without a solid defense for the first time, but New England's scheme seemingly works with any players in place.
Eli Manning and the Giants got hot at the perfect time. Sunday won't be a cakewalk by any means, especially with the league's best defensive line wrecking havoc.
But Brady - and Bueller - will steal the show.
Pats 31 Giants 30
So the sports team agrees, the Patriots are their pick to win this year's Super Bowl.
