Eli Manning lead the underdog Giants in overtime to another upset and a victory in the 2007 NFC Championship with a score of 23 to 20.

The score did not reflect the closeness of the New England Patriots versus San Diego Chargers game. Tom Brady threw 3 interceptions. One of the 3 interceptions was due to a tipped ball. But the Chargers also made turnovers. The Patriots won the game due to the defense, Maroney and Faulk. Winning the AFC Championship with a score of 21 to 12 is the Patriots’ 18th consecutive win of the season.

Will the Giants cause another upset or will the Patriots win Superbowl 42 and set the record of a perfect 19 consecutive win NFL season?

The New York Giants have been the underdog throughout the playoffs. But they have defeated the favored teams in each away game for the last 2 weeks. This is reminiscent of the New England Patriots’ 2001 Superbowl 36 season. Eli Manning has lead the Giants to upset victories. The Giants will be a huge threat to Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers. This NFC Championship game will be a contest for the second place team in NFL 2007.

The New England Patriots are the top seed to win Superbowl 42. This is a rematch of last year’s playoff game. As long as the Patriots’ defense remains aggressive for the entire game and stop Tomilson from long yardage rushes, the Patriots will have little difficulty in stopping the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Championship game.

Will the Patriots get their 18th consecutive win?
