The Undefeated vs. The Unrelenting
It's a question of Who Wants It More. Will Brady's Bunch take their history-making streak all the way or will Manning's Meadowlands Mob put a hit out on New England's pursuit of perfection? Two teams. One game. One great call. And you can only find it here. |

The New York Giants are only the third team to reach the Super Bowl by winning three straight road games. Their ten straight road victories this season is an NFL record. As luck would have it, they also are listed as the road team for Super Bowl XLII.
The Giants will be playing in their 18th NFL title game since 1933, the most in NFL history.
Tom Coughlin has coached 205 career games. That is the most games coached before making a Super Bowl debut as head coach.
Giants General Manager Jerry Reese is the first African-American GM to reach the Super Bowl.
Eli Manning has not had a turnover in the playoffs after throwing 20 interceptions and losing seven fumbles during the regular season.

The New England Patriots are looking to become the first undefeated team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins. If they are successful, their 19 victories will be the most achieved in a single season by any team.
While New England have never lost a Super Bowl under Bill Belichick, they have lost the coin toss on all three occasions.
The Patriots had the number one offense in the NFL this season, averaging 36.8 PPG, the highest ever average in the Super Bowl era. Their defense was tight as well, surrendering a miserly 288.3 yards and 17.1 points per game, ranking fourth in the league.
Tom Brady is one of the four players with multiple Super Bowl MVP awards. With another Super Bowl MVP honor, Tom Brady will tie Joe Montana for the most all-time. |

be the oldest Super
Bowl participant at

The New England Patriots have already made history with an unbeaten season. The New York Giants were 10-6 on the season and surprised everyone by beating Green Bay to get into the Super Bowl. Many think this is a one-sided match up. One must remember, however, that the Giants lost by only 3 to New England on Dec 29th. The Giants secondary will be challenged by New England's air assault led by 2-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback Tom Brady. New York had a strong offensive showing in the NFC Championship game against Green Bay led by Eli Manning and Plaxico Burress.... READ MORE
