Gotta think everyone with no ties to the northeast are rooting for anyone who plays against the Pats. I'm a Redskins fan who hates the Giants but I'll be cheering them on against the despicable dark side.
I dislike both teams but I have started to like Eli a bit. I'd like to see him beat Brady/Belicheck again.I'm in the midwest and a die-hard Vikings fan, but I love seeing the Patriots win simply because their haters are so incredibly insufferable.Gotta think everyone with no ties to the northeast are rooting for anyone who plays against the Pats.

This is probably the first time in many years where I honestly can't say that I am choosing a side. I hate watching any of the NFL East because of the obsession the media has with them, and the Patriots are basically the exact same thing except they have a more obnoxious coach. A few years ago I wanted the Giants to win so they could stop the Pats perfect season, but this year, I'm completely indifferent.

Same here. I'll probably be playing drinking games with my friends outside for most of the time.This is probably the first time in many years where I honestly can't say that I am choosing a side.

Dallas fan. gotta go with the Giants here, hate to say it. the Pats are like the new Cowboys which makes me hate them much more.

I'm with you, but will be watching the game with Giants fans, so I'll be forced to root for the Evil Empire/Goliath/The Axis of Evil etc to make it more fun'FUBAR said:Titans fan rooting for a good game. Patriots fans can be annoying, but the haters are worse.The Mannings are annoying, but I like to see the little brother succeed. It's good to see Coughlin succeed.I'm a Michigan guy from birth so I like seeing Tom Brady in the discussion for GOAT.I don't care who wins, I just hope this game isn't a let down after two great championship games.

This.Rooting for Giants b/c I am a Pats hating Dolphins fan.
Going into the playoffs, there were only two teams that I simply could not stand. It figures they'd be the last two teams standing. I'm rooting for the ground to open up and swallow them both.

Lifelong Eagles fan here (most of you know this.) Believe it or not I can't stand both teams but hate the Giants less than the Patriots. Voted Giants. No surprise I guess.Once the Eagles missed out on the playoffs, I was hoping for a Baltimore/San Francisco Super Bowl, with Baltimore winning. Last weekend really was a downer.
Exactly how I feel. I might not even watch this year (specially since I have exams on both Mon and Tues.)Going into the playoffs, there were only two teams that I simply could not stand. It figures they'd be the last two teams standing. I'm rooting for the ground to open up and swallow them both.

Almost precisely how I felt for the Pats/Ravens AFCC game. I was rooting for a meteor to strike the stadium at midfield, but the ground swallowing both teams would have worked too.This go 'round I'll be rooting for a meteorite to merely strike the Patriots' bench only.Going into the playoffs, there were only two teams that I simply could not stand.

You meant this, right?I'm in the midwest and a die-hard Vikings fan, but I love seeing the Patriots win simply because their haters fans are so incredibly insufferable.
Packers fan rooting for the Patriots. Not sure why. Probably because Tom Coughlin and Eli appear to be so put off by being in professional football.

I save this kind of hatred for the Dallas Cowboys. These two teams have done nothing to deserve vitriol. They have also done nothing to deserve praise. They're just....meh. I may watch the commercials.Going into the playoffs, there were only two teams that I simply could not stand. It figures they'd be the last two teams standing.

Their nicknames are the "Pats" and the "G-Men". That alone merits vitriol.I save this kind of hatred for the Dallas Cowboys. These two teams have done nothing to deserve vitriol.
