On Sunday February 5th, Lucas Oil Stadium will play venue to the world's greatest sports spectacle when the New England Patriots meet the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI.
For NFL enthusiasts, this game presents a striking resemblance to the Super Bowl XLII match-up between the Giants and the Patriots. Back in 2008, QB Eli Manning led a brilliant 4th quarter comeback to knock off the heavily favored unbeaten Patriots 17-14 in one of the most stunning upsets in Super Bowl history. Fast forward 4 years and you have the same two teams in eerie similar roles once again in a battle for the coveted Lombardi Trophy.
The Giants will enter as slight underdogs just as they were back in 2008 despite knocking off the Patriots 24-20 earlier this year in Foxboro. In that game, QB Eli Manning connected with WR Jake Ballard for a game winning touchdown with just 15 seconds to go to deliver yet another heart breaking loss to the Patriots. Still, the Patriots will enter as 3 point favorites over the Giants when the two teams meet inside Lucas Oil Stadium.
However, New York has strived in the underdog role this season. After a week 15 loss to Washington, the Giants stood at just 7-7 on the season with their backs against the wall. Many thought that coach Tom Coughlin was at the end of his tenure in New York. However, the Giants rallied to close out the regular season to win their last 2 games and take down the NFC East Crown. After just barely slipping into the postseason, the Giants then caught fire to win 3 straight games and capture another NFC Championship. Needless to say, the Giants are just another upset away from taking down yet another NFL Championship.
If you can remember back to 2008, the New England Patriots march to a perfect season was ended by the Giants in Super Bowl XLII after winning 18 straight games. Perhaps this year, the Patriots could score some type of sweet revenge from that agonizing disappointment. The Patriots have another tremendous football team that swept through the regular season with a potent 13-3 SU mark. New England was the popular choice to make it to the Super Bowl out of the AFC this year and they did not fall short of those expectations.
