I will now predict a sure winner of Super Bowl 46 with these two facts:
1) All former super bowl champions have had double digits wins in the regular season...therefore, the New York Giants cannot be champions because they only had 9 victories during the season.
2) No team with a defense ranked as low as 22nd best has ever won the super bowl, therefore the 31st ranked defense New England Patriots cannot be champions.
Ok, so I'm messing with yall. Here are some other fun facts with players from each team - enjoy the game:
