What 2 Watch 4 - Super Bowl XLVI

The following is a list of what to expect for the big game tonight. You can guarantee that everything on this list WILL HAPPEN TONIGHT.

  • Kelly Clarkson's rendition of the National Anthem will last at least 140 seconds...twice as long as the song is designed to be played/sung.
  • Bill Belichick will be in his typical cut-sleeved sweatshirt tonight in Indianapolis, which started when the Colts raised the temperature in their home dome many years ago.  
  • The David Tyree catch from Super Bowl XLVII will be shown at least four times during the game.
  • Fans will NOT hear Al Michaels saying "Do you believe in miracles?" but still wishing he was talking about Mike Eruzione instead of Tom Brady.
  • The Giants will win the coin toss. The NFC representative has won the coin toss for 14 straight years now, and even though it's technically a 50-50 shot, the odds surely are in New York's favor.
  • Budweiser / Bud Light will have one of the first two commercials after kickoff. I hope that $3.2 million is worth it.
  • Tiquan Underwood will become a household name because Belichick released him late last night. 
  • Expect Underwood's replacement (the Chad formerly known as Johnson) to do very little in the game.
  • If Gronkowski is unable to play, or even if he's not at full strength, red zone woes for the Pats will be expected, and lots of field goals for Gostkowski will result.
  • Whether or not Gronkowski plays, expect 12+ touches for the Gronk/Hernandez combo.
  • For those who will play the drinking game of taking a shot every time Eli's big brother Peyton is mentioned, expect to be knocked out before halftime. (Maybe that's good, they won't have to hear Madonna)
  • A majority of fans (those not playing the Peyton drinking game) will be shaking their heads at halftime, wondering why Madonna was chosen to sing at the Super Bowl. Good singer, yes. Super Bowl appropriate? Not exactly...
  • If WR-to-DBack convert Julian Edelman has to guard Victor Cruz in the slot (he won't cover Nicks or Manningham outside, and sure won't cover a tight end, so expect to see a lot of this), then watch for double digit targets and catches for Cruz.
  • Expect to see other matchup troubles with Giants players who didn't play in the first matchup: Nicks, Bradshaw, and Hynoski all did not play in the week 9 victory for the G-Men.
  • Tom Brady can throw three interceptions for the Pats, but if they win the game, no matter what you can expect to see Brady become the first three-time Super Bowl MVP.
