A worthy matchup to cap off a great NFL season, or a snoozer? Which team do you think will win, and which team do you want to win?

Chuck Klosterman says that the game would be more interesting if the Patriots lost:
The Patriots are the best team. It would be a shame if they did not win. Yet we would care so much more if they lost. If the Patriots win, they will just become this thing that scorched the earth for five months before capturing a trophy that was never in doubt. Future historians will describe this New England team as if it were a machine. Everyone will concede the Pats' superlative greatness, but the 19 wins will be just a collection of numbers. But if they lose -- especially if they lose late -- the New England Patriots will be the most memorable collection of individuals in the history of pro football.
