Celebrity Super Bowl Picks

John Travolta

Patriots 34, Giants 24 "The Patriots have obviously had a storybook season and will be remembered as one of the greatest teams ever in the history of the NFL. This will be too much for the Giants to overcome. Look for the hungry Pats to cap off their season with a victory."

Brooklyn Decker

Giants 31, Patriots 28 "Let's not be so quick to underestimate the hot-right-now Giants. I'm excited to see another Manning in the big game, and the Patriots have the perfect season on the line. The Giants have nothing to lose-- especially if Eli plays like a rockstar."

John Cena

Patriots 35, Giants 14 "With a video gameesque offense, the Patriots will secure a spot as one of the greatest teams to ever take the field."

Jaime Pressly, actress, My Name is Earl, and fiance, DJ Eric Cubeechee

Patriots 31, Giants 14 Eric: I'll be in Phoenix. I've got a bunch of parties I'm doing. I like the underdog always. I'm going to go for the Giants. Jamie: Me too! I just root for the underdog always. But I mean, we're being realistic here. You can root for the underdog all day. That doesn't mean they're going to win.

Chris Mintz-Plasse

Patriots 34, Giants 3 "I have been a New England fan since I came from my mother's womb; Eli can't handle the pressure that is known as the New England Patriots!"

Jimmie Johnson

"New England 28-21, but it would be a helluva upset if the Giants can pull it off."

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Patriots 35, Giants 17 "Eli is gonna find it hard to handle the pressure of the big event."

Julie Henderson

Giants 21, Patriots 17 "I'm going with the Giants because they are the underdog and they have a lot of heart. Its been a long time coming for them and think they're going to do it."

Kevin Connolly

Giants 27, Patriots 12 "That might be the worst prediction ever. The Patriots are due to choke. It's bound to happen. They're too good."

Kevin Dillon

Giants 24, Patriots 21 "I like the Giants because defense, baby, defense, and Eli (Manning) is maturing. I don't see a real high-scoring game."

Matt Leinart

"New England, because they had an undefeated season. It's tough to say, though; score, I'd say 31 to 21 or 24."

Marisa Miller

Patriots 31, Giants 24 "I think the Patriots will win. The Patriots being undefeated is incredible and it would be insane victory to go the whole season without losing a game. But I wouldn't be bummed if the Giants won. I love New York and it's fun rooting for the underdog. Honestly, I just want to watch a good game. A fight to the death! Just kidding."

Warren Sapp

Patriots 28, Giants 17 "Patriots!! It's all about Randy Moss!"

Frank Caliendo

[impersonations]: ''I'm picking the Dallas Cowboys,'' says George W. Bush. ''Even though they're not playing.'' ''And I'm picking Brett Favre,'' says John Madden. ''Anytime you go with him...Boom!'' ''See that's terrible,'' says Charles Barkley. ''That's just terrible. They're not even watching the game.''

Jason Biggs

Giants 35, Patriots 28 "The Pats are due for a loss, the Giants are on a hot streak, and the Giants have nothing to lose. The Pats have everything to lose and the Giants are the only team that really came close to beating them this season. I grew up right next to Giants Stadium. It's an unbiased opinion, trust me."

Terry Crews

Giants 28, Patriots 24 "My head and logic go with the Patriots, but my heart and soul are with the Giants. I want to see my good friend Mike Strahan get a ring, so I'm going with the Giants.

Vincent Pastore

Patriots 34, Giants 17 "It will be the running game with the Pats."

Mark Harmon

Patriots 33, Giants 27 "New England is very talented on both sides of the ball. They have a good field goal kicker and lots of playoff experience. They are also on a mission."

Omar Epps

Patriots 35, Giants 24 "The Patriots are on the verge of making history. What better motivation can one need?"

Jessica White

Patriots 38-24 "I'm from New York so I should go for the Giants but this is the year of the Patriots."

Jim Breuer

Giants 31, Patriots 28 "They will win and it will be a miracle."

Dean Cain

Patriots 35, Giants 24 "Tom Brady is like a surgeon, and this is the Patriots' year. 19-0!"

Scott Hamilton

Giants 34, Patriots 31 "They are the little engine that could."

Bill Engvall

Patriots 41, Giants 13 The Patriots are going to win hands down. My reasoning is very scientific. I have spent hours pondering this question. The Patriots will win because the Giants beat my Cowboys and revenge is so sweet. Tom Brady wearing a boot on his foot is a ploy to sucker the Giants into a false sense of confidence.

Charles Barkley

Giants 31, Patriots 28 "The Giants are on a roll and the Pats haven't played well in about six week."

Jimmy Buffett

Patriots 24, Giants 17 "Pats have experience, which to me means they know how to handle ticket requests from immediate family and long lost friends in rehab or jail -- a very important but rarely reported key to victory."

Reggie Miller

Giants 28, Patriots 24 "Why? Because Eli is a Manning. It's in his genes."

Mario Lopez

Patriots 34, Giants 27 "It's going to be close. The Giants have been playing them tough and the Pats' defense is a little older. They're getting a little long in the tooth. I think the Giants' pass rushers will get to Brady and they're going to keep it close.

Kenny Smith

Patriots 17, Giants 10 "Most people love the underdog. I love the favorite."

Mario Batali

Giants 27, Patriots 24 "The Giants are looking unstoppable after 10 road wins in a row. Eli has never played better, and the offensive line beat the hell out of the Pack in the frozen waste land of Lambeau. Now watch the Giants warm up in the Arizona sun against the tired and angry Pats."

Bobby Valentine

Giants 21, Patriots 17 "I believe in this team."

Nick Swardson

Patriots 587, Giants 2 "After the game, Tom Brady will celebrate by finding Osama Bin Laden. He owns."

Jared Fogle

Giants 31, Patriots 24 "My man Strahan is going to be the difference maker."

Jim Cramer

Giants 24, Patriots 21 "Sometimes the good guys and the underdogs do win!"

Janet Evanovich

"The Giants. Because Eli Manning will end 'I'm going to Disney World' with 'gawrsh'."

Jordan Medas

Patriots 35, Giants 14 "The Giants are on a great run and playing with lots of heart and there's newfound confidence in Eli. But they are just not good enough to compete with possibly the best team in NFL history. Even in close games, the Patriots win."
