What Could Happen After Super Bowl XLVI
In these two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl you're hearing a lot of analysis. Who will win the game? How will they win it? Is Rob Gronkowski going to be healthy? But there's another story line to look at. What will happen after the game is over?
Well, there are two options, each with their pros and cons:

2. New York Giants Win the Super Bowl: Eli Manning will have two Super Bowl rings and he'll deserve a spot among the elite in the game if he can win Super Bowl XLVI. He will be one of the few quarterbacks who will have taken down Tom Brady. He would have proven it twice in the Super Bowl and once during the regular season this year. The Giants would also show that you need a defense to win a championship. Their pass rush is intense and has not been a friend of Brady's. Tom Coughlin will have to be thrown into the conversation as one of the best coaches because he'll have two championships under his belt. If the Giants win the Super Bowl, you can expect that the postseason chatter will be surrounding their rise to elite status. Belichick on the other hand, might take a bit more scrutiny for trying to run a team and a defense. To the critics, he might not look like such a defensive minded coach anymore.
What happens after the Super Bowl is a mystery at this point. All we know now is it's a chance for the Patriots to get some redemption and there's no room for error.
