Super Bowl: Giants vs. Patriots 6:20 PM

The New England Patriots and New York Giants clash tonight in the biggest game of the season, the Super Bowl. Both teams have improved on the defensive end since their last meeting, so we’ll see how far each team has come. This game is expected to be close throughout simply because both teams are playing well.

This game will come down to one thing for the Patriots and that is Tom Brady. The question is, how well can he get the offense rolling? The Giants will bring pressure from the onset and expect the Patriots to counter that will quick passes. Brady is coming off a tough game for him, but the defense for the team was able to keep the Patriots in the game. Tonight expect Brady to come out fearless and ready to play. This is the biggest game of the season and Brady is not going to go lose easy.

Before the game the Patriots head coach Bill Belichick stated that Rob Gronkowski will play in tonight’s game. But how long will Gronkowski play? Belichick said that he would have to wait and see how Gronkowski will play with the ankle sprain. If Gronkowski can play at a high level the Patriots will be tough to stop. But don’t count out Chad Ochocinco having a big night. Tiquan Underwood was released yesterday as the Patriots signed DE Alex Silvestro. This leads to possibly having Chad Ochocinco active for the biggest game of his career. This season hasn’t gone the way Ochocinco has wanted it to, but tonight he can change all of that.

The Patriots defense needs to play hard tonight and limit the Giants from getting touchdowns. Also, if the defense can force some turnovers tonight they could possibly win the game. Vince Wilfork will possibly be a force the Patriots are hoping to have on their defensive front tonight to get pressure on Eli Manning. He needs his defense teammates to step up and play aggressive tonight. This is a game where the Patriots defense can put the talk of bad defense to rest and prove that they can play defense.

This game will take place inside Lucas Oil Stadium and it will be very loud. The Giants are much improved on the defensive end and are looking to prove that again tonight. This game is huge for them simply because they have kept fighting all season through all of their injuries. Jason Pierre-Paul, Justin Tuck, and Osi Umenyiora all will be brining pressure and the Patriots front line will need to protect Brady and give him all the time in the world.

Eli Manning is looking to continue his great season tonight as he goes up against a much healthier Patriots secondary. Manning was able to pick the Patriots secondary apart in the game earlier in the season. Manning is throwing the ball really well and during this post-season has eight touchdowns to one interception. He is the leader for the Giants offense and is putting the ball where his receivers are. The success of the Giants will come from Manning who is looking to collect his second Super Bowl victory.

This game should live up to the hype and many experts are picking the Giants over the Patriots. But others are picking the Patriots to win this season. One thing that matters is that all picks and talk about the game will end today as one team goes away with the win. Tonight’s game can be watched on NBC at 6:20 PM.
