Goosebumps. Awed. Excited. Nervous. Inexplicable feelings as the Super Bowl 2012 between the Patriots and Giants is slowly coming into the kickoff time. As far as the atmosphere of anticipation, it elevates moment by moment and that the super bowl fans are ready to see the battle of the two respective teams at the Lucas Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana.

Super Bowl 2012 has so many stories to offer as the stake is higher than ever before because this is the second time in four years that these two teams are facing in the super bowl. This is the second time unexpectedly that the Giants and the Patriots overwhelmed their opponents in their respective conferences. For the New England Patriots, it took team two wins in the playoffs to get into the super bowl while the Giants three games. The degree of difficulties were on the Giants because of beating Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, and San Francisco 49ers just to be playing here today.

New York is considered to be the hottest team in the NFL before the conference games as they dismantled the Packers in a lopsided game. Giants are in the peaked of their game that it will be difficult for the Patriots. Giants defense came up with tremendous coverage by stopping the Falcons and Packers offense. Though the Giants got some breaks against the 49ers, still the defense came up effectively to be where they are right now. The pass rush defense of the Giants had made it sure that they are in the Super Bowl 2012 notwithstanding the fact that they defeated the top two teams in the NFC.

Quarterback Eli Manning has been the surprise player of the Giants as he will try again to guide his team into a super bowl win. He amazingly navigated the Giants into making the Giants one of the most explosive teams. Manning showed that he can beat the Patriots just like the way he did in their previous encounter 12 weeks ago. Yes, Manning proved already that he is a quarterback with accuracy when the game is on the line. He knows exactly how to elude defenses and how to derail such defenses by using his accuracy in throwing the football.

While Manning makes the headlines in today’s super bowl 2012 because of his chances of winning his second super bowl ring, even better than his brother Peyton Manning, many believe that in terms of the stratosphere of where he is, there are still a lot of works statistically for him to be compared with Brady. Though he is just few nudge behind Brady’s career. Manning understands what is at stake in this super bowl 46 and he is open to the fact that it can be a sting for the Patriots if the Giants can pull this victory again.

Manning has so many offensive weapons at his disposal. Hakeem Nicks is the depth threat for Manning to deliver his passes. Nicks has been playing extremely well in this playoff run as he caught long passes in that game against the Packers. On the other hand, Victor Cruz was explosive in that game against the San Francisco 49ers with 142 yards of reception. Also the third receiver for the Giants is Mario Manningham who can create big plays for the offense of the team. The troika of receivers will be one of the elements for the Giants to sustain the games against the New England Patriots.

With the passing game of Manning, the New England’s defense will absolutely have to make the adjustments if needed as the game progresses. It is imperative for the Patriots to play with aggressiveness so that the team will have a chance to beat the Giants because of Manning’s presence. Eli Manning is on his prime and he is just a step away of making himself one of the most decorated quarterbacks in the NFL.

As far as the New England Patriots is concern in this Super Bowl 46, the team depends on Tom Brady to dominate the game from the start to the end. This means that Brady has to be protected so that he will have enough time assessing his receivers. This means that the offensive line of the Patriots have to stay focus againts the front four of the Giants taking chances to take down Brady. If Brady will not be touched, then the Patriots will feast yards in the football field. If Brady will sustain his passing ability without throwing interceptions, then the New England Patriots have the slight advantage.

Brady already once again is being compared to Joe Montana. The debate started the Brady had stepped into the same class as Montana in terms of being the greatest quarterback of all time. Arguments have been stated, stats have been discussed that Brady can be the best quarterback ever he is able to win this Super Bowl 2012. The fact that he is just a game away of being tied with Montana with four super bowl victories, Brady will make the case by having won 17 games in the playoffs while Montana had 16. Furthermore, Brady will tie John Elway in most super bowl starts at five as he entered into the game in Lucas Stadium.

Quarterback Brady never showed his best during the AFC conference game against the Baltimore Ravens yet his team managed to win. He promised after that football game that he will play a lot better in the super bowl 2012. To what extent will be his improvement? This can cause anxiety to the Giants football team as they prepared on how to make Brady uncomfortable at the pocket.

The Patriots have numbers of receivers that Brady can rely on in this super bowl 2012. With the presence of the much talked players before the super bowl, tight end Rob Gronkowski. His health has been the topic of the media of whether he can play his best at the highest level during the super bowl 46. It is still a question of how he can last and play effectively as he sprained his ankle against the Ravens. If Brady has to anchor the game effectively, then Gronkowski has to part of the offense.

Another receiver that can make the impact immediately is Wes Welker. His speed and mobility will be his main advantage over his defender.Surely, he will try to extricate from his opponent and make yards after catching the ball. Aaron Hernandez can be added as part of high-powered offense of the New England Patriots. He is a tight end and he can play big if Gronkowski is not on top of his game. It will be unfair not to include Deion Branch in this statement because he has the experience in the super bowl. He won the Super Bowl MVP in 2005 with Brady as the quarterback. He may be just a step slower but he still can catch the football.

How about Chad Ochocinco? There’s a lot of speculations that he will be the surprise offense of the Patriots. Ochocinco is not going down in Super Bowl 2012. He can play and he can retire after this game with a superbowl ring.
