We’ve seen it many times, the old New York-Boston rivalry. Yankees-Red Sox, Jets-Pats, and (just a few weeks ago) Knicks-Celtics. Amazingly, though, the Rangers and Bruins haven’t met in the playoffs since 1973. Sure, each team probably has teams they consider rivals, but make no mistake about it that these teams don’t like each other. Besides the New York-Boston history, if the regular season matchups are ...

In front of a national TV audience on Monday night, Tom Brady and company showed the world why they should be considered to be Super Bowl favorites, and it’s quite clear that they should be.  After a 42-14 defeat of the then 11-1 Houston Texans, the Patriots proved that they are the top team in the NFL.

A lot of this has to do with the fact that Jason Pierre-Paul has emerged this season as the Giants primary pass rusher. The last time the Patriots met the Giants in the Super Bowl, they lost because Brady had less time to throw than they had all se ...

New Orleans Saints (13-3)-While the Packers may be the odd on favorites to win in Indianapolis, the Saints are probably the hot ...
