Super Sunday!

So last year Peyton Manning got his first ring. Does little brother Eli get it now? Or do Tom Brady and Bill Belichick cap off a historic 19-0 season? Back in August New England was the favorite at 3-to-1 to win the Super Bowl, while the Giants were 28-to-1, with six NFC teams ahead of them (Saints, Bears, Seahawks, Panthers, Cowboys and Eagles).

For the first time in four years the NFC's No. 1 seed didn't make it and the first time in five years that the top seed in the AFC did. We are in a golden age for the AFC as they continue to have the best teams. It's almost as if the pendulum has swung. During the 1980s and much of the 90s, the NFC dominated, winning 15 of 16 Super Bowls, including 13 in a row! That changed in 1998 when Denver upset Green Bay, 31-24. Since then, the AFC has won 8 of the last 10.

The Giants are a Cinderella story, rising from the No. 5 seed to upset the Bucs, Cowboys and Packers -- all on the road. It's been a great story, as most thought coach Tom Coughlin would be let go a year ago. They are on an NFL record 10-0 SU, 9-1 ATS run their last ten road games. While the Giants set a record for road wins, the Patriots set their own records with a high flying passing offense.

QB Tom Brady set a league record with 50 TD passes and WR Randy Moss set one with 23 TD catches. They also are the only team to start a season 18-0 and can join the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only team to run the table. The Pats have won three of the last six Super Bowls by exactly three points, despite being a TD favorite twice and a 14-point dog once. The Giants hope to continue a Super Bowl trend: The underdog is 4-2 ATS the last six Super Bowls, winning twice. Here's a look at what to expect this weekend as America's unofficial national holiday, the Super Bowl, kicks off.

What the Giants want to do: Old school football right out of the Allie Sherman playbook: Run, control the football and play tough defense. The Giants have rushed for 100, 90 and 134 yards in three playoff wins, and held a whopping 40-22 edge in time of possession in the NFC title game. Ball control means keeping the football out of Brady's hands.

The NY offense is No. 17 in the NFL with a nice one-two running tandem of speedy rookie Ahman Bradshaw and power back Brandon Jacobs. They have averaged the same amount of points in the postseason as during the regular season (22 points per game).

But will 22 be enough? Only if the defense leads the way, one with their ferocious defensive front putting pressure on Brady. They led the NFL in sacks, but sacked Brady only once in Week 17, a 38-35 Pats win in NY. In that game, Brady finished 32-for-42 for 356 yards, while Manning was 22-for-32 for 251 yards and one interception. The Giants are 5-3 SU, 6-2 ATS as a dog.
