Super Bowl XLVI Prop Bets [13]

The spread, over-under, coin toss, Kelly Clarkson's anthem, Madonna's halftime show, MVP and more.

Super Bowl betting — and prop bets, in particular — attract sharks and suckers alike who can’t afford a $3.5-million, 30-second commercial spot on NBC’s telecast or a $2,500 nosebleed seat at Lucas Oil Stadium, but do have a some lunch money to wager on Super Sunday.

Eli Manning or Tom Brady: Tough Quarterback Choice [16]

The Giants topped the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII and earlier this season.

There has been a major trend in sports media over the last 10-15 years to give quarterbacks singular credit for team success. The signal caller that is probably the most debated in this fashion is Tom Brady of the Patriots [18]. Some people believe he is an all-time great, while others believe that New England’s three Super Bowl titles were much more due to Bill Belichick’s scheming and a nasty defense than QB play.

Super Bowl Rematch: Giants versus Patriots [22]

New York and New England play for it all for the second time in five seasons.

The underdog New York Giants [26] surprised the undefeated New England Patriots [18] in Super Bowl XLII, a memorable 17-14 decision to complete the 2007 season.

New York vs. Boston Rivalry [27]

The Big Apple and Beantown have nation's best sports town feud and culture clash.

When the New York Giants and New England Patriots kick off Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the game won’t be just a rematch of Super Bowl XLII, it will be a renewal of the greatest sports town rivalry and culture clash in the country — New York vs. Boston. Which city has the edge heading into Super Sunday? The following is a tale of the tape:

Is Tom Brady the Greatest Quarterback of All-time? [32]

Patriots’ field leader making strong case for legendary status

— by Mark Ross

Tom Brady [33] the greatest quarterback of all-time in NFL [34] history? Believe it or not, this may not be as far-fetched a statement as it may have seemed.

The Real and Overblown Stories of Super Bowl XLVI [35]

Some idiotic notions are being put forth in the media about this game. What's real?

Believe the hype. As far as intrigue goes, Super Bowl XLVI has the potential to be one of the greatest ever.

Yet, potential is just that. Much as we would like, there’s no way to know whether Sunday’s Giants v. Pats battle will come down the last play, like its Week 9 counterpart did. We can hope that Super Bowl XLVI will be an edge-of-your-seat slugfest, similar to New England’s Week 17 victory in 2007, but we just don’t know. It’s foolish to pencil in a game even half as exciting as either of those, let alone (arguably) The Greatest Game Ever Played.

NFL Playoffs: Which Match-up Will Make the Best Super Bowl [42]

Which of the final four NFL teams should play for it all?

The Final Four has been set, and it might not have been the one you were expecting. The AFC did get its top two seeds through to the championship, but over in the NFC the two best teams – or what everyone thought were the two best teams (the Packers and Saints) are gone.

That leaves this: The Baltimore Ravens (13-4) vs. the New England Patriots (14-3) on one side, and the upstart New York Giants (11-7) vs. the San Francisco 49ers (14-3) on the other. On Feb. 5 two of them will meet in Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis.
