HTWD Sports: Super Bowl XLVI (46)


Here it is, folks! SB 46 coming to you later today, at 6:29 ET on NBC. This rematch of 2007 should be one of the more intriguing Super Bowls in recent memory. And just in case you forgot, here's some of the story lines swirling until this game kicks off:

- Tom Brady and his quest for his 4th ring. IF he gets it, will he be considered the greatest to ever play the game?
- Eli Manning on pursuit to eclipse his brother in Super Bowl rings, after living in his shadows his entire life.
- Rob Gronkowski's ankle, and if how much he'll play.
- The Giants pass rush attempt to knock around Brady.
- How the Patriots corners will handle the Giants receiving corps.
- The pass/run ratio for both teams.
- Peyton Manning and his situation.

Watch out for these headlines and stories as we get closer to kick off, they should be talked about frequently.

I believe that it will come down to whoever has the ball last, as these teams are incredibly equally matched. The Pats have the better offense, but the Giants have a rock solid defense. Tom Brady is Mr. Clutch, but Eli Manning has been the most successful QB in the 4th quarter this season. We will need to see who steps their game up this time.

My prediction:
Patriots and Brady overcome the vaunted Giants defense and Eli, 31-28
