The football gods were so happy with the results four years ago when New England and New York faced each other that they decided it was time for another battle.
Super Bowl XLVI will pit the New England Patriots (15-3) against the New York Giants (12-7), forty-eight months after the Giants squeaked out a 17-14 win over the previously undefeated Patriots in one of the more memorable Super Bowl games in the league's history.
With many of the key players and coaches back again this year, the potential for another great game is there. Manning vs. Brady, Belichick vs. Coughlin, the Giants ferocious defensive front vs. the Patriots offensive line: Sunday's game again has all the makings of a classic, on paper at least. This fan is hoping they deliver the goods.
Here's is what you need to know for the big game:
Time: Kickoff is scheduled for 6:29 P.M. EST
Location: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN
TV Coverage: The game will be televised nationally on NBC. Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth will have the call from the booth.
Online Streaming: NBC will be streaming the game live, for free, at NBCSports.com
