Gathered on the field at the University of Phoenix stadium to capture the moment of this big event and then shortly after the players boarded a bus. To an unknown location and they're going to wrap up their final preparations for the big game. -- mean outside of the team hotel hasn't been wearing."

Play from 6:13[6:13]" A lot of fun that a draining week so much going into it -- and much like the other ones that I did to you just have so many events during the course of the week it's fun to -- you -- and you know I enjoyed you -- first I'd go to the stadium I was like -- new stadium that's a lot of fun. -- today without -- if it was just a special moment see him get into the -- name and hopefully to -- way to kick off the weekend but. Just get a lot of fun and exciting to be odd to see the team's progression of course the week and as -- proceeded to the into the actual day of the game at Dublin -- is everything leads up to it. All the is kind of -- It's gone by very quickly and you know. The rumor is that it's still again -- you. You feel like you've been going through so much this week that game they -- finally approach but that's what they play for that's why it's they go through all the motions during the week and I think the players joy to and a but kind of families are here by this point weakened just get. -- there on the field today and yesterday at the stadium you could exceed. How much appreciate being there taking it all and kind of an out relaxed state of mind it was equality there if it it seems to me like the players appreciate that moment is not intensity intensity and anxious moments of game day yet. But during irrelevant your at this stage you're wearing your uniform you get your family there and I know it's always a special time players who have been out half Super Bowl winning team they kinda you know it's it's a smaller group now but I remember three years -- other guys who were you know at the 96 Super Bowl on the victorious 13 Super Bowls can get altogether so that's a special moment. It only got more coming up right here on -- today right after this."

Play from 8:11[8:11]" Welcome back to Toyota's patriots today Paul furloughs got an extra point today before his prediction tomorrow."

Play from 8:24[8:24]" My picks have been so badly. That -- we've decided simulate that extra bonus coverage they give you an extra points. So to speak because. You know that's what you need you need more information from me when I haven't had it right since thanksgiving so here it is which quarterback is going to come through and you demand. What Manning. However what you want to look at it I think it's contrasting styles. Tom Brady is comfortable in the situation he's been here before he's finished he's been the man in this situation before. God they've been my doctor told the ball 3540 times. And sometimes even more he's comfortable in that set up. He's been able -- Eli Manning in this play up one he's been outstanding don't want to take anything away from him the last interception and threw. With the white -- against the patriots Ellis Hobbs in the fourth quarter. Of the regular season finale he's been perfect in the playoffs. But he really -- asked to kind of managed the game. You -- running game as a compliment and make some big plays the Plaxico Burress and some to want mine tumor. I like Manning I think he's playing great I think he's coming into his own I think he's also had a subtle thing I think he's benefiting from the absence apparently shot think it's allowed. Manning's leadership to kind of come to the left front and that's really benefit of that giants offense however. You can't. Have this matchup go any other way than. Brady has been here before Manning has it doesn't mean it you know the last time that was the case. Brady and -- along the long had been -- he played it will retain so I'm not saying a -- lose this game for the giants have to give you."

Play from 9:50[9:50]" They keep all that scheduled for us here on patriots today in Arizona wrapping up Super Bowl week. We'll have all the latest updates tomorrow. -- Sunday the patriots back up"
