The Super Bowl start time is 6:17 p.m. EST. Yes, that is the official Super Bowl time. New York Giants vs. New England
Patriots. According to John Czarnecki..

There is no question that both teams are geared to attack the opposition’s quarterback, and that should be the key to the game. The Giants hope that DT Justin Tuck and NT Fred Robbins can collapse the center of the New England offensive line and prevent Pats QB Tom Brady from stepping up in the pocket to avoid the outside rush of Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan. They should even try their five-man rush scheme.

Brady’s right ankle seems fine and it wasn’t heavily taped on practice days. Conversely, the Patriots may throw a few all-out blitzes in order to rattle Eli Manning, who hasn’t thrown an interception in three playoff victories after 20 picks in the regular season.

The Patriots believe they were pretty vanilla on defense in their Week 17 38-35 win in the Meadowlands, when they actually trailed by 12 points in the third quarter. You can expect more Rodney Harrison blitzes this time. In the Dec. 29 game, Giants RB Brandon Jacobs caught five passes for 44 yards. You can bet that New York will throw more quick screens to Jacobs and to speedy rookie RB Ahmad Bradshaw, who didn’t play that Saturday night.
