2001 Rams (#1 in the League in Scoring)
2007 Pats (#1 in the league in Scoring)

2001 Rams (17.1 Points Allowed per Game)
2007 Pats (17.1 Points Allowed per Game)

Kurt Warner (30 years old during Super Bowl)
Tom Brady (30 years old during Super Bowl)

Marshall Faulk led team in scoring by 1 point (128-127) over the kicker
Randy Moss led team in scoring by 1 point (138-137) over the kicker

Marshall Faulk was born in Louisiana, he was a very good receiver out of the backfield
Kevin Faulk was born in Louisiana, he is a very good receiver out of the backfield (although not in Marshall's league as a player)

Here's a list of similarities between the 2007 Giants and the 2001 Patriots.

The Giants just beat the Packers in OT by 3 points in a crazy back-and-forth game that will be remembered for the weather as much as the outcome. Sounds awfully like the Snow Bowl/Tuck Rule game where the Pats beat the Raiders in OT by 3 points. Plus, the Snow Bowl/Tuck Rule Game was played on the night of Saturday, Jan. 19, ending just minutes before Sunday, Jan. 20 - the same date the Giants-Packers game was played this weekend. Crazier still, the Patriots time of possession vs Oakland: 40:05, the Giants on Sunday: 40:01.

In the playoffs (although in different rounds), the Giants defeated the Cowboys in Dallas, allowing just 17 points to a team that finished the regular season 13-3. The 2001, Patriots beat the Steelers in Pitt*****urgh, allowing just 17 points to a team that finished the regular season 13-3.

The Giants, like the Patriots, are 13-14 point underdogs in the Super Bowl and will somehow have to stop a record-setting offense that features 2 players who had the best season for their position in recent history - Tom Brady and Randy Moss. The Pats had to stop Marshall Faulk and Kurt Warner, who were coming off similar seasons.

Both the 2001 Pats and 2007 Giants started the season 0-2. And both teams defeated the Miami Dolphins in the week before their bye weeks.

The Giants vs Patriots in Week 17 was the first time that eventual Super Bowl opponents would play each other in the regular season since the Pats played the Rams in Week 10 of the 2001 season.

The 2001 Patriots scored 371 points in the regular season, the 2007 Giants scored 373.

Oh, and the Super Bowl is being played on February 3rd, just like it was when the Pats beat the Rams 6 years ago.

If an omen was what you were looking for, maybe you can use this stuff
