As all you US football fans know, Super Bowl XLII is approaching fast. The Patriots will reach for history and the longest perfect season in the history of the NFL on February 3. But the Giants won't make it easy, especially after coming so close to ending New England's perfect run in week 17.

The Patriots may have to deal with an additional obstacle, as Brady appears to be injured. Is this Belichick's biggest ploy to confuse his opposition, or could the first ever 18-0 team have a major crisis?

Who are you rooting for? How will you enjoy the game? And what do you think about the pre-game developments? Discuss!
