08:04 AM ET 01.31 | The Giants chose a more subdued departure for Indianapolis on Monday. This is a business trip, after all. And that's what the Giants intend to do, take care of business. Just ask the outspoken Antrel Rolle. "We're not here for fun," Rolle said once the Giants arrived in Indy. "We're not here for anything but to take care of the Patriots on Sunday night. I mean, we wouldn't have boarded the plane if we didn't expect to win. I think that is the bottom line. We have come here for one thing and one thing only, which is to win. We are expecting to win this game come Sunday." And that's when the Super Bowl party -- which Tom Brady talked about Sunday in Foxborough -- will be held. Only the Giants expect it to be in New York.

Keep expecting it buddy... Might be in for a rude wake up. I do like how it seems the Giants may be coming into this thing overconfident... Just like the Patriots likely were in 2007.

And Pat Chung coming over the top may put Cruz out of the game... What's your point?

They're definitely not under the radar like they were in '07. I think that's the single biggest advantage the Pats have. It's almost like they're a favored underdog.

I'm a Pats fan and still can't figure how they are favored. I believe they will win but it will take a stellar effort from their defense, a perfect day from Brady (I predict a lesser known target shines as his partner) and a strong day from special teams. The chirping emanating from the Gints is a positive sign for the Patriots, I believe.

I think a lot of why the Patriots may be favored has to do with the regular season. The Giants are hot right now, but they were real hit or miss during the season, I mean they lost to the Seahawks and the Redskins twice, plus they eked by the Pats by 4 points... So I'm sure there is some odds makers and their little formulas and all that jazz that says the Patriots should win. Will that be true, I hope so and we'll see next Sunday.

Second that.

I just hope it's a good game, and not another Super Blowout!

Should be a fun game ...even if Mr. Rolle isn't having fun

Esther Rolle was more convincing in Good Times than Antrel Rolle on the Giants. If you are not expecting to win, you probably shouldn't be there.

Favored means there's more money going on the Pats than there is on the Giants. I mean that's why they call it "bookmaking" As the money moves so does the spread. As to the game I think we should see something like we've seen in the last 3 meetings of these team. A very tight game that is decided in the last few minutes by a big play of some type.

Ocho?? I feel Mesko/Gastowski will have a great game and will win the field position battle for the Pats.. Woodhead fumbled the ball on special teams in the championship game.. Giants will target his small body and he'll burn them with his elusiveness..

Actually hasn't been one of those for a while now

If it's anything like their matchup in 2007 it will be.

Rolle: 'We are expecting to win'wow. earth-shattering.

"We wouldn't have boarded the plane if we didn't expect to win."

The players don't come up with sound-bytes any more interesting that the talking heads in the booth do.
