Super Bowl XLII was an American football game between the National Football Conference (NFC) champion New York Giants and the American Football Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 2007 season. The Giants defeated the Patriots by the score of 17–14. The game was played on February 3, 2008, at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
The game is regarded as one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history. The Patriots entered the game as 12-point favorites after becoming the first team to complete the first perfect regular season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins, and the only one since the league expanded to a 16-game regular season schedule in 1978. The Giants, who finished the regular season with a 10–6 record, were seeking to become the first NFC wild card team to win a Super Bowl, and the franchise's third overall Super Bowl win. This Super Bowl was also a rematch of the final game of the regular season, in which New England won, 38–35.
The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL), the highest level of professional American football in the United States, culminating a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. The Super Bowl uses Roman numerals to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season, while the most recent game, Super Bowl XLVI, was played on February 5, 2012, to determine the champion of the 2011 season.
The game was created as part of a merger agreement between the NFL and its then-rival league, the American Football League (AFL). It was agreed that the two leagues' champion teams would play in an AFL–NFL World Championship Game until the merger was to officially begin in 1970. After the merger, each league was redesignated as a "conference", and the game was then played between the conference champions. Currently, the NFC leads the series with 25 wins to 21 wins for the AFC.

Gangbang, that's 48, a hundred niggas on the left side
Fucked around with my nigga O now I'm leanin' out on the Westside
FTR to my North niggas, Pennex out on that Eastside
Big duke from that Mon Yough where they known for lettin' them heats fly
Sixty grand on my watch, nigga – try somethin', get shot, nigga
The 'hood got fucked up when Big, Dre and Loc got locked up, nigga
Young niggas have metal too – Olympic-style, they'll medal you

But I'm just countin' my bread, and smokin' out of that jar
