A New York Giant's "Fan" Guide to Superbowl LII

So...here we are: 20 weeks later, 16 regular season games, bye weeks, the Wildcard Round, the Divisional Finals, the Conference Championships, and we have finally made it: The Superbowl !  32 teams began, 12 teams entered into the deathmatch that is the playoffs, and we are down to the final two. Let's get to it, shall we? Superbowl LII New England Patriots vs. Philadelphia Eagles U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minnesota Winner: ... So the AFC & NFC's top seeded teams meet in the Superbowl...remember this fact, it becomes important later... Team 1: The New England Patriots So after coursing through what has been argued the absolute easiest playoffs of their "dynasty" to date by bashing the underdog Titans, and holding off a young, inexperienced, and scrappy team without a real quarterback, the Dark Side of the NFL marches once again to yet another fucking Superbowl. We've all read this story before. The AFC is shit - the level of parity

Super Bowl LII: The Fans View

With Super Bowl LII taking place tomorrow evening between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles, myself and Kyle have been predicting the results of games throughout the season, and of course, we’re going to finish those predictions with the Super Bowl. Here’s what Kyle and myself thought: Stuart, Aberdeen, Indianapolis Colts: I’m rooting for the Eagles, not so much for a hatred of the Patriots which has gone down a bit in the last few years since my brother starting supporting them, but more that it’d be nice to see someone else win it, with the Patriots having won it two times in the last three years. Would also be nice to see the “No Lombardis” joke end for the Eagles. Unfortunately though, or fortunately if you’re a Pats fan, I can’t see past them. If Wentz had been playing, I’d have probably fancied the Eagles. Brady has been here before and done it before, and even though the Eagles have been amazing, I just can’t see past the Patriots retaining the Lombardi.

Like most NFL rookies, the Super Bowl was the first NFL game I ever watched. Yeah, that is a sentence that sounds like it contradicts itself, but it’s true. Most of us getting into the game start by watching the Super Bowl. The very first Super Bowl I ever watched was with my Dad, and funnily enough, it was the New England Patriots against the Philadelphia Eagles, like it will be on Sunday.

The following year, the Helmet Catch by David Tyree stopping the Patriots from getting 19-0 in Arizona. Since 2010, a Colts Super Bowl appearance against the New Orleans Saints – the “Ambush” ons
