I don't know what to expect when the game begins. If the media (and every fan base besides our own) were correct, tonight won't even be a game at all. The Patriots would be awarded the Lombardi and 19-0 moniker at 6:30pm and that would be that.

But the Giants have gone against the grain all season long. Starting 0-2, they stood Washington up at the goal line and would never lose on the road ever again. Went to Tampa and won. Went to Dallas and won (nobody picked them). Went to the hallowed halls of Lambeau Field and won (when absolutely nobody picked them).

Now they're in Arizona to play the vaunted New England Patriots. Bill Bellichick has the upper hand in any game he coaches. I'm not denying that, nor the fact that the best QB in NFL history will suit up in Blue tonight.

But there is something special about the group of guys who call themselves NY Giants right now.

All I know is we're less than five hours away from kickoff and game-time will be here.
