Talk about a super sequel.

Four years after New York stunned previously undefeated New England in the Arizona desert, the Patriots and Giants are going at it again at the Super Bowl -- this time in Indianapolis.

Brady and Belichick. Eli and Coughlin. Both teams rolling through the playoffs.

Yep, here we go again.

New England opens as a 3-point favorite for the Feb. 5 game.

But it's the Patriots' first appearance since Eli Manning and the Giants (12-7) upset New England's pursuit of perfection in 2008.
