– Unstoppable Duo
Much of the Patriots’ success this season has been because of their duo of Brady and Rob Gronkowski. Both players are arguably the best at their respective positions, and both are on the top of their game in 2015.
This season, Brady is having one of the best years of his career, as he is totaling 2,709 passing yards, 22 passing touchdowns, and just two interceptions. Gronkowski has been one of the favorite targets of Brady this season, as he leads the Patriots in receiving yards with 693 this season. Gronkowski is also tied for the team-lead in touchdown receptions with Julian Edelman, as they both have seven this season.
The Giants’ passing defense has really struggled this season, and against the Patriots, they could be in for a long day. It’s hard to imagine that the Giants can slow down the Patriots through the air.
Prediction: Four passing touchdowns for Brady, two receiving touchdowns for Gronkowski
