1. Which team makes the better in-game adjustments?
In speaking with assistants for both teams, a big theme has been winning the game of adjustments. Both clubs expect new wrinkles to be thrown at them, so the early part of the game will be crucial in terms of identifying what the opposition is trying to do, and then tailoring a plan to combat that. In the past, the Pats have proven to be masters at such switches – both in Bill Belichick and his staff diagnosing them and the players executing them – so the pressure will be on the Giants to keep pace.
