Lost in the talk of "Tsunami Tuesday" is the fact that we have a football game tonight. The undefeated New England Patriots will face the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. Kickoff is around 6:30 p.m Eastern time on Fox.
Vinnie Iyer of the Sporting News thinks there are "12 excellent reasons why the 42nd edition of the greatest American sports event will be the best ever."
I don't know if he's right about that, but I think the game will be closer than the two-touchdown spread the oddsmakers have given the Patriots. I predict a final score of New England 27, New York 24.
The two teams met on the last weekend of the regular season, and New England won by 3 points (38-35). In their previous three Super Bowl victories, the Patriots won each game by 3 points. I think that's the margin they'll win by today, which should mean an entertaining game.
While you're waiting for the kickoff, you might want to take a look at a list compiled by ESPN. It ranks the teams that participated in the first 40 Super Bowls, and it's guaranteed to bring back some "Super" memories -- even of the blowouts.
