Will history repeat itself?
No, it's not 2007, but football fans find themselves in a similar spot to where they were five years ago. The NY Giants clinched the conference chmapionships Sunday night, and they will once again face off against the New England Patriots in the big game. AOL Sports ran an opinion piece Monday on why it won't be as easy this year for the Giants to beat the Patriots. But, knowing that last time around the G-Men crushed their perfect season, Big Blue's fans are hoping for a victory in two weeks. So, Patch wants to know, do you think the Giants can do it?
