Holy Super Bowl, it's Pats-Giants again!
Who's ready for 14 straight days of the same boring old New York vs. Boston talk that we've been hearing for a decade?!
Kidding aside, Patriots-Giants is a great match-up with a ton of rich, super-interesting storylines.
Is there a more underrated player in the NFL than Eli Manning? Is the old adage that "defense wins championships" dead and buried? Will the Pats get revenge?
Vengeance!
That's the One Big Story, right?
The Giants destroyed New England's potentially historic season by upsetting them in the Super Bowl four years ago.
Now, the Patriots have a chance to exercise those demons and win it all a decade after the Belichick-Brady dynasty was born.
Is Gronkowski's ankle going to fall off?
Probably not.
But Gronkowski is the most important playmaker in the Patriots offense. Without his ability to occupy defenders in the middle of the field, the windows that Tom Brady has to throw through are much tighter, and the Pats' status as a dominant offense takes a hit.
He injured his ankle yesterday, but all indications are that he'll be close to 100% by the time the Super Bowl rolls around.
OH BY THE WAY, David Tyree caught a ball with his helmet once
