With the big game just two days away the time has come for fans to make their picks on who they think will win Super Bowl 46.
The New York Giants (12-7) are led by quarterback Eli Manning, who threw for 4933 yards and 29 touchdowns this season with 16 interceptions.
The New England Patriots (15-3) are led by quarterback Tom Brady. Brady threw for 5235 yards and 39 touchdowns with 12 interceptions.
The Patriots defense has allowed 21.4 points per game, forced 34 turnovers while sacking the opposition's quarterback 40 times.
On The flip side, the Giants defense has given up 25 points per game, forced 31 turnovers and gotten to the other team's quarterback 48 times.
Both teams have potent offenses, but the edge would have to go to the Patriots in that department. They have higher per game averages in every statistical category on that side of the ball.
In the coaching department both teams are more than solid. A slight edge goes to the Patriots. Bill Belichick has coached the Patriots to five previous Super Bowls in his 12 years as head coach, coming away with three rings.
Tom Coughlin of the Giants has led them to only one previous Super Bowl in his eight years as head coach for the team, but it was an epic win over the Patriots in Super Bowl 42. The underdog Giants beat the Patriots 17-14 to prevent the Pats from going undefeated that season.
All the talking is almost done now. Both teams are making their final preparations for the game that will be played on Sunday, February 5 at 6:20 PM ET. It will air live on NBC.
The Patriots are 3-point betting favorites in Las Vegas.
So who is your pick to win the big game this year? Take our poll and sound off in the comment section below.
