After losing a Super Bowl bet to “Extra” correspondent AJ Calloway, Maria Menounos showed off her incredible body in a tiny bikini in the middle of chilly NYC.

The good sport went through with her hosting duties alongside AJ and Mario Lopez, surrounded by a crowd of cheering NYC Giants fans.

On Sunday, as the game progressed and it looked like the Patriots were going to lose, Calloway warned Maria, “You better be doing some lunges, because it’s a small bikini.” Menounos replied, “There’s still time!”

On Monday, Maria tweeted a photo of herself in a robe, with the caption, “Ready to face the music.”

“Extra” friends who voted in our poll predicted Calloway would win — with 52-percent voting in his favor for the NY Giants.

The NY Giants will take on the New England Patriots in a Super Bowl that will soon be heralded as one of the best ever played. 

We are inching closer to the start of something truly special. Marquee players and dynamic playmakers are but a drop in the bucket of why this game will trump so many before it. 

Here are the crucial details for the upcoming Super Bowl XLVI.

Where: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN 

When: Live coverage at 6:00 p.m. EST (kickoff is at 6:29 p.m. EST)

Watch: NBC AND Live Streaming at NBC Sports website  

Tom Brady may be the reason that most of you know how prolific the Patriots can be, but that is not the only reason New England comes in as more than what we give them credit for. 

Sure, they have an awful defense, but they can be so much more when you consider their pass rush is  dominated by big man Vince Wilfork, and a tandem of tight ends that make them nearly impossible to stop on offense. 

With the Patriots, we get the familiar heroes that have dominated this time of year so often. But they are met with an underrated story in 2011. 

The Giants were on nobody’s radar when the season came to a close, and look a lot like the Green Bay Packers from 2010 in more than that regard. 

They have just enough defense to stifle the best of attacks, and their offense is quarterback driven with a few dynamic weapons at receiver. 

Eli Manning is on fire right now, throwing with confidence and through some tiny windows. This will be the one game where every last question on his elite level gets destroyed. 

It will be a high-scoring and hard-hitting affair that you simply can’t miss. 

This is the game that invented hype and over-saturation, but every once in a while the football gods get it right. 

This will be a clash that will most definitely live up to the moniker of Super Bowl. 

Super Bowl XLVI is just hours away, meaning it won’t be long until we know who wins the big game and who will be honored with the game MVP. 

The New England Patriots and New York Giants have a lot of talented players on the team, but only a select few have the best shot at winning the coveted award. 

Expect a fantastic game filled with excitement from start to finish. These two teams know each other very well, and since they’re evenly matched, the game will come down to the wire. 

With that said, here’s some last-minute info you need to know about the game, as well as my predictions for who wins the game and the MVP.

Betting Line

According to vegasinsider.com, the Patriots are favored at -3, which is just another great indication this will be a close game throughout. 

In addition to the line, the over/under is set at 54.5. While that may seem high, look for both offenses to be on their top of their game all night long, creating big plays and multiple touchdowns for a high-scoring affair.

In the end, I like the Patriots to come from behind in the fourth quarter to win the Super Bowl, 30-28. 

My MVP prediction goes to Tom Brady, who will put the Patriots on his back in the second half to win his fourth Super Bowl ring, furthering strengthening his case as the best quarterback to ever play the game.

Of course, that’s a completely different debate from the Super Bowl, and it’s best to let it rest until after tonight’s game. 

INDIANAPOLIS – Last time, the New York Giants pass rush hounded Tom Brady like the paparazzi.

Brady helped then-Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo plot his game plan when the New England Patriots quarterback was caught on video wearing a protective boot for an injured ankle as he attempted to slip into Manhattan to visit his future wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, two weeks before Super Bowl XLII.

Fast forward to Sunday:

The three biggest differences in Giants vs. Patriots, the Super Bowl XLVI sequel?

Brady’s right ankle is healthy. He and six other veterans seek vengeance on the Giants for ruining their quest for the first 19-0 season. And Super Bowl XLII MVP Eli Manning is the hotter quarterback than three-time Super Bowl winner Brady.

“Our perception of Eli Manning is dramatically different now than heading into that 2007 Super Bowl,” says CBS analyst Phil Simms, the Super Bowl XXI-winning Giants quarterback. “Back then, it was, ‘Oh, my gosh, how does Eli measure up to Tom Brady?’

“We aren’t hearing that this game.”

Manning fired a record 15 fourth-quarter touchdowns (18 including playoffs) and has thrown eight TDs with one interception in three postseason road wins.

“The season Eli’s had, his playoff run, how he and the Giants hung in there against the (San Francisco) 49ers defense. … There’s something about football when you get beat up, battered and still persevere the way Eli did in that (20-17 overtime) championship game win,” Simms says. “People view you in a different light.”

Four years ago, the Giants pass rush teed off on Brady, knowing the quarterback was unable to make his trademark sideways glides to avert up-the-middle pressure.

Spagnuolo flexed defensive end Justin Tuck to tackle, and New York recorded five sacks, knocked down Brady nine other times and stunned a record-setting offense in a 17-14 upset.

“I thought Justin Tuck was the MVP,” ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Ron Jaworski says. “They moved Tuck around, got him on (guard) Logan Mankins. He’s an all-pro player. But he had a difficult time with Tuck’s power, speed and quickness.

“They got great pressure.”

Now Brady & Co. look to avenge what former Patriots wide receiver Troy Brown calls “the worst loss of the Brady-Bill Belichick era.”

“Having been a player on that 18-1 team, you know these guys want Patriots payback,” says Brown, now a Comcast New England analyst. “Not that you can get that ring back. But winning can somewhat redeem that loss.”

So seven players on New England’s active roster have added motivation.

“The Patriots have a couple of things going their way this time. The biggest is they lost to the Giants in that Super Bowl,” Simms says. “Tom Brady didn’t play as well as he wanted against the Baltimore Ravens in the championship game.

“You can’t duplicate that revenge feeling when you lost your last Super Bowl.”

Manning has beaten Brady the last two meetings. He threw for 4,933 yards and 29 TDs to carry his injury-depleted team for much of a 12-7 season.

“The question coming into this year was about Eli and how he answered the question about being an elite quarterback,” Fox analyst Troy Aikman says. “How Eli answered is irrelevant.

“The fact someone felt it was OK to ask is really the bigger story. No one at the start of the season would have asked Aaron Rodgers, Tom or Drew Brees, ‘Hey, are you elite?’

“That question won’t be asked again the rest of Eli’s career.”

Last time, the Giants rallied around their 12-point underdog status.

“This time around, the Giants will have equal billing,” Aikman says.

New faces on both sides

Super Bowl XLVI is a rematch in name only, considering that only 22 players among 106 remain.

“This doesn’t even resemble the Giants-Patriots Super Bowl we saw four years ago,” Simms says. “New England has changed its offense dramatically in style and personnel with featuring the tight ends, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.

“The Giants defense is still the same. It’s still all about their pass rush.

“Last time, the Giants were the hunters. This time, they’re the hunted.”

It will be the 13th Super Bowl played between teams that met in the regular season. In the previous 12, the regular-season winners went 5-7 in the rematch. The loser of the regular-season game has rebounded to take the Super Bowl the last three times.

Consider the 15-3 Patriots have won 10 in a row since losing to the Giants when Brady threw two interceptions and lost a fumble.

“These teams played this season, so that’s more a relevant factor than the rematch of their Super Bowl four years ago,” former NFL coach and Dallas Cowboys running back Dan Reeves said. “It’s so difficult to beat the same team twice in a year. It’s all psychological stuff you battle.”

There have been two previous Super Bowl rematches within a four-season span. The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cowboys 21-17 in Super Bowl X after the 1975 season, then 35-31 in Super Bowl XIII. The Aikman-led Cowboys routed the Buffalo Bills 52-17 in Super Bowl XXVII, then 30-13 in Super Bowl XXVIII.

“It’s the same quarterbacks, Eli and Tom, same teams, but so much is different,” former Steelers running back Rocky Bleier said. “You can’t go back four years and learn anything from how the Patriots played then.

“The Patriots were going for the perfect season and lost. So it adds fuel for the motivational fire Belichick can use.”

Bleier said there was no carryover when his “Steel Curtain” Steelers met the Cowboys again.

“It wasn’t as if it was a brand-new experience the second time,” says Bleier, who owns a Pittsburgh construction company. “We knew the caliber of their players and quarterback, Roger Staubach.

“The difference during the 1970s, the core of our teams were pretty much the same because there wasn’t free agency. Now you see a lot of turnover in four years with these two.”

Similar but different is the theme running through that 1994 Cowboys-Bills XXVIII Super Bowl encore as well.

“There isn’t a tremendous amount of advantage in a Super Bowl rematch,” former Bills coach and Hall of Famer Marv Levy says. “You have knowledge of the team and their schemes. You have a little bit of a running start on game planning. But I don’t know that one team will have any advantage because of the last time.”

Brady chasing icons

Aikman feared the law of averages catching the Cowboys against the Bills, who went to four consecutive Super Bowls beginning with their Super Bowl XXV loss to the Giants.

“We played the Bills the first time, they were going into their third straight Super Bowl,” Aikman says. “We were like, ‘Wow, how do they go into their third straight Super Bowl and not win?’ Then they came back in their fourth.

“We were confident we could win. But I remember thinking how tough that game was going to be, just the odds a team is going to be in a Super Bowl four straight times and not win.”

With a win, Brady would join boyhood idol Joe Montana and Pittsburgh’s Terry Bradshaw as quarterbacks with four Super Bowl rings.

“It’s incredible,” Brady says. “You watch this game; I was a kid growing up, a 49er fan, so I got to watch a lot of Super Bowls.

“You pinch yourself to get this opportunity. I’m privileged to be part of an incredible organization to play with a great group of teammates.”

Hard to conceive Brady losing a second Super Bowl to the same team.

“If Tom gets that fourth ring, it would be hard to discount him as the greatest quarterback ever,” Jaworski says.

With a win Sunday, Manning would join the ranks of two-time Super Bowl winners such as Hall of Famers John Elway, Staubach and Bart Starr.

“A second Super Bowl puts you in the conversation for the Hall of Fame,” says Hall of Famer Aikman, a three-time Super Bowl winner.

“So there’s a lot that comes with that second ring.”

Manning, 31, is armed with the more explosive passing game against a 31st-ranked defense that has lined up 16 different players in its secondary.

“The Patriots aren’t as good as those three world championship teams, particularly on defense,” Jaworski says.

As for Brady?

The clock is ticking at 34.

“You just don’t know when you’re going to get back again,” Aikman says.

The New York Giants are really going to regret all the trash they were talking leading up to the Super Bowl.

If there is one person in the NFL whom you may want to avoid antagonizing, it would be Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady.

I have a funny feeling that he’s going to be taking this game very seriously.

Brady is a notorious competitor—check the three Super Bowl rings—and a fiery one at that. It’s not all that of a surprising thing to look down on the Patriots’ bench to see Brady getting in the ear of one of his teammates, trying to keep him focused, or just simply sitting with a determined and quite scary look in his eyes.

The guy’s all business, and his cage is not the one I’d want to rattle before the Super Bowl.

Apparently the Giants are either too cocky to care or too arrogant to realize that it may make a difference in the game. Either way, according to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, the team is talking really confidently heading into the Super Bowl:

They certainly are confident heading into their rematch with the AFC champion New England Patriots on Sunday night. They also haven’t been shy about expressing it, whether it was Antrel Rolle saying “we’re going to win this thing,” Chris Canty telling fans to prepare for a parade, or Jason Pierre-Paul insisting the Giants’ pass rush is already in Brady’s head.

This could end up being a fatal mistake for the Giants.

Not only do they run the risk of coming into this game overconfident and then losing a ton of momentum when the game evens out and the reality of two very good football teams playing each-other sets in, but they also run the risk of giving Brady even more motivation than he already has.

This may be arguably the most focused and polished Brady we have seen since the last time his team was in the Super Bowl, but now there is much more than just a ring on the line for him.

He’s got his legacy and possible all-time greatness at stake, the chance to redeem himself and his team from their last Super Bowl—which was a loss to the Giants remember—and now he has the chance to shut the Giants and their brash trash talk up.

A confident Brady is a scary one. An angry Brady is almost unbeatable.

The Giants may have sealed their fate before the game even started.

Now, if you ask a fella to comb the deepest, darkest recesses of a cluttered mind and come up with a Top Five list over the years, this is what you might get.

VINCE CARTER ON FREDERIC WEIS

Yes, it still tops the list; and is fresh in the mind because I recall being mesmerized by it.

GRIFFIN CREATES A NEW WORD

Yes, the one last night was hugely impressive and all that but . . .

The one over Timofey Mozgov last season was probably better. And now when you say a guy’s been “Mozgoved” basketball people know what you’re taking about.

THAT CARTER KID AGAIN

When you ask Vince about his all-time favourites, if you can get him chatting on it, he’ll tell you one he had his rookie year over Dikembe Mutombo has to be near the top of the list.

As it should be.

TAKE THAT, BULLS

Final 45 seconds of a tense playoff game between bitter rivals the Knicks and the Bulls? And John Starks goes airborne over a couple of Bulls — that Jordan fellow got there a tad too late.

A FIFTH-PLACE TIE

Okay, the memory banks are a bit dull at the moment — it’s still kinda early — so I’m giving Griffin on Perkins and LeBron leaping tiny young John Lucas III equal billing.

I know, a chicken’s way out but …

OTHERS:

Remember the one Vince had along the baseline in Indy his rookie year. Yeah it announced his presence with authority.

There’s a Kobe Bryant over Dwight Howard one that was pretty special.

LOS ANGELES—Blake Griffin’s jaw-dropping one-handed jam over Kendrick Perkins sent Los Angeles Clippers fans into a frenzy Monday night, fired up his teammates, lit up the Twitterverse and burned the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Griffin had 22 points to go with Chris Paul’s 26 points and 14 assists in a 112-100 victory Monday night that snapped the Thunder’s four-game winning streak in a matchup of division leaders.

Griffin downplayed his monster move after the game, a sly smile only briefly breaking his serious expression.

“CP commands so much attention out there. He came off the pick-and-roll and he hit me in stride,” Griffin said.

Paul added: “I told Blake after the game, ‘Thanks for letting me be part of that.’”

DeAndre Jordan grabbed Griffin from behind in a celebratory bear hug as the basket got replayed over and over in the third quarter.

Jordan, who had 11 points and 11 rebounds, couldn’t help himself.

“I was shocked. I didn’t know what to do, so I just grabbed him. I hit him kind of hard,” he said. “I’m going to go home and watch it again. It’s probably going to be the screensaver on my phone.”

Griffin said he knew he’d made an impression judging by the crowd’s raucous response. Then he felt Jordan behind him.

“He armlocked me,” Griffin said. “I couldn’t breathe.”

The reaction on Twitter came fast and furious.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald tweeted: “Blake Griffin just made one of the top dunks of the season. Maybe even his career. (hashtag) Beast.”

Tracy McGrady of the Atlanta Hawks weighed in with “yo, crazy crazy dunk by the dude Blake Griffin.”

Even Shaquille O’Neal’s ex-wife was impressed.

Shaunie O’Neal tweeted: “OMG!!! Did y’all just see Blake Griffin dunk!!!!! Daaayyyummm!”

Paul had 26 points and 14 assists, Caron Butler also had 22 points, Chauncey Billups scored 13 and Mo Williams 12 as the Pacific-leading Clippers dunked with high-flying abandon against the team with the NBA’s best record at 16-4. They won their third in a row to follow up a 109-105 victory at Denver a night earlier that began a stretch of five games in seven nights.

“We’re not going to read too much into it,” Paul said of the back-to-back wins. “It let us know what we’re capable of. We can explode offensively.”

Kevin Durant had 36 points and 13 rebounds, and Russell Westbrook added 31 for the Northwest-leading Thunder, whose league-best road record dropped to 8-3. They had won 11 of their previous 12.

“Chris Paul was running around, getting what he wanted to get on the floor and making passes to guys for wide-open dunks and threes,” Durant said. “It’s tough to stop.”

Griffin’s monster mash had everyone talking and tweeting, but the Clippers put together a stunning sequence going into halftime.

They shocked the Thunder with four consecutive three-pointers in less than a minute to lead 64-46. The flurry by Williams (two), Butler (one) and Billups (one) stopped the Thunder’s 11-2 run that had drawn them within six points.

“I told Mo that might have been the greatest exchange I have been part of since I’ve been in the NBA,” Paul said. “That got the crowd into it. Four threes in under a minute is unbelievable.”

Jordan said: “We were just hot. It really didn’t look like it was real. We were on a high, but we knew we had to come out in the third and knock them out flat.”

The Thunder bumbled their way into the half, with Westbrook and Durant combining on three straight turnovers that led to the Clippers’ long-range fireworks. Williams and Butler had two steals in the run.

“That doesn’t happen, and it probably won’t happen again the rest of the year, that a team will make that many threes in a minute,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “But they made the shots. They started the game with a lot of urgency and they had us back on our heels.”
