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.

 

12349175069?profile=original

 

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.

 

12349175852?profile=original

 

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.

 

12349175871?profile=original

 

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.


12349176094?profile=original

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.

Video After The Jump FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Tom Brady hates the New York Jets? "Hell, he knows we hate the Patriots, so what's the difference?" Jets coach Rex Ryan said in response Monday. "That's great. Hey, join the club. The Patriots quarterback made the comment to Boston sports radio station WEEI when asked whether he was watching HBO's "Hard Knocks." "Honestly, I haven't turned it on," Brady said. "I hate the Jets, so I refuse to support that show. I'm sure it's great TV. I'm glad people are liking it. But that's just something that I have no interest in watching. I'd love to say a lot of mean things, but I'd rather not do that, either." Ryan isn't a big fan of Brady or the team that has dominated the AFC East, a status that seems threatened by the Jets' addition of key veterans in the offseason. "Hell, he knows we hate the Patriots, so what's the difference?" the coach said with a smile. "My brother's got a couple of Super Bowl rings. He loves Tom Brady, but I don't have them, so I don't like Tom Brady. I respect him, but I don't like him." His brother Rob is a former Patriots assistant. Rex took over the Jets last season from Eric Mangini, the former defensive coordinator for New England and a near clone of Patriots head coach Bill Belichick when it comes to bland, non-provocative comments. The third show of the five-episode "Hard Knocks" series airs Wednesday. Last year's featured team was the Cincinnati Bengals. "I'm sure it's great TV," Brady said. "I'm glad people are liking it, but that's just something that I have no interest in watching. I'd love to say a lot of mean things, but I'd rather not do that, either." For the most part, Jets players' reactions to the statement were pretty low key. Brady's comments didn't surprise Jets wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery. "Tom has always hated the Jets," Cotchery said. "We've pulled up clips a long time ago, even before Rex got here, with Tom saying things at banquets and all that. He's always hated the Jets, so I expected to hear that from him." Center Nick Mangold said he hadn't watched the show with any regularity before they were featured, and he could see how an AFC East player might not want to see a nemesis glorified. "It's part of the excitement of games. You dislike the other team," Mangold said. "'Hard Knocks,' we never had it with anybody in our division … I don't expect him to be sitting there with a bowl of popcorn enjoying the show every Wednesday." In fact, no one in the Jets' locker room popped off about the comment. Instead, everyone seemed to think it was about right that Brady should have that sentiment, even if the word "hate" sounds pretty strong. "Maybe it is true hatred," tight end Dustin Keller said. "I don't know." Jason Taylor, who spent years mocking Jets fans and getting booed by them while a member of the Miami Dolphins, smiled when he heard that he might be supplanted in the Jets fans' dog house by Brady. "They're supposed to hate the Jets -- they're the Patriots," Taylor said. "Just like the Dolphins are supposed to." And he isn't watching the show either, albeit for a different reason. "I don't think we should watch it. I think it changes the way you act the next week," Taylor said. Wide receiver Braylon Edwards, who came over from the Cleveland Browns last season, said free agency has changed the nature of hard-core intradivisional rivalries like this one. Just as Taylor ended up implausibly in green and white, and Donovan McNabb ended up with the Washington Redskins after the Philadelphia Eagles, Edwards said Brady could theoretically play quarterback for the Jets some day. "A team he quote-unquote hated, he's the starting quarterback for," Edwards said. Last week on "Hard Knocks" when Ryan wanted to start a fight on the field to stir up linebacker Vernon Gholston, he went to offensive lineman Rob Turner. Turner is never one to back down, and he was asked whether Brady's words would be worth a scrap when the Jets and Patriots play again. "Aww," Turner said, "Brady wouldn't fight me. I'd break his jaw." But that was as bold as any of the Jets got. Mostly players just recognized that hating the Jets is part of Brady's job description. "I can understand why he'd say that and I don't have a problem with that," Edwards said. "He doesn't like the Jets? That's fine; a lot of people in here don't like the Patriots."

Video After Jump

Free-agent quarterback JaMarcus Russell told ESPN's Colleen Dominguez that he tested positive for codeine after the Raiders selected him with the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft.

"I missed all of training camp, so I didn't get tested when all the other guys got tested," Russell told Dominguez during an "Outside The Lines" interview, the entirety of which can be seen at 9 a.m. ET Aug. 22. "I had a prescription from a doctor, but it wasn't the team doctor."

Russell also said he has used codeine without a prescription, but scoffed at reports that he had a drug problem.


Russell said the allegations of drug use stem from that positive test, and said he has not used codeine in three years.

When asked about Russell's positive test, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said, "No comment."

The former LSU star -- who had missed the 2007 training camp because of a lengthy contract holdout that stretched to the start of the regular season -- said the Raiders came to him and asked him about his possible drug use early in his career.

"Around the time when I first got there or a year after I got there," Russell said, when asked when the Raiders confronted him. "[They] said they were gettin' word in the streets about me using drugs. Then, one of the doctors came to me."

The Raiders released Russell in May, and he was arrested in July for alleged possession of codeine.

Two days after his arrest, the Raiders released a statement saying they "did all they could to intervene and assist with a myriad of issues with JaMarcus Russell."

When Dominguez read the statement to Russell during the interview, he seemed startled and told Dominguez the Raiders' words caught him off-guard. Russell said he had never seen or heard the statement before.

Russell, who was just 7-18 in his three-year career with Oakland, also criticized Raiders coach Tom Cable for blaming him for the team's failure to make the playoffs.

"It kind of took a lot out of me for the respect of Tom Cable," Russell said. "I could have been the worst in the universe. To go on national television and say it was all my fault. ... He's the head coach. I don't think that was very head coach-like, or man-like."

On Wednesday, District Judge Charles McKnight questioned the credibility of the testimony given by Marcus Stevenson, a longtime Russell friend who said he made the codeine-laced drink found in a July 5 raid at Russell's home. Stevenson testified Wednesday that the drink belonged to him, but the judge sent the case to a grand jury.

Mobile County (Ala.) Sheriff's Deputy Johnny Thornton testified the orange-colored drink in Russell's bedroom appeared freshly poured. Investigators said Russell, who was in the bedroom, told them it was his Kool-Aid. Thornton said it later tested positive for codeine.

Thornton also said there were nine people in the house and a codeine bottle without a prescription was found in a cabinet.

Russell's attorney, Donald Briskman, said in an interview with The Associated Press after the hearing that the codeine bottle was in a cabinet at a distance from Russell's bedroom. He said Stevenson told an officer at the home that it belonged to him, not Russell, but authorities took no action against Stevenson.

"They didn't arrest him at the scene. They targeted JaMarcus. ... He should have been discharged today," Briskman said.

Stevenson testified at the hearing that he mixed the drink and didn't make it for Russell. After the hearing, Stevenson was handcuffed and charged with possession of a controlled substance. He was released on bond.

Stevenson's attorney, Greg Evans, raised objections to the questioning of his client, citing his rights against self-incrimination. He later said Stevenson "was sworn to tell the truth and that is what he did."

It could be months before the grand jury decides whether the evidence warrants an indictment.
