Choke vs Upset (#4)

Great stuff. Just in time for the February writing contest. :)

If the Giants win, it will be the biggest CHOKE in the history of football and not the biggest upset.  The reason is because the Patriots are too good and the Giants are too flawed.

In order to be the greatest upset, the Patriots would have to play a great game and the Giants would have to play a perfect game. (See Georgetown vs Villanova - the Hoyas didn't play poorly, the Wildcats just played the perfect college basketball game in history.  That's why it's always remembered as the greatest upset and not the greatest choke.)  Unfortunately for you Giants fans, if the Patriots play a great game, there's no way the Giants win.  They are just overmatched.
