from kickoff, which is 6:29 tomorrow. and all week long we've been checking in with jim vance and dan hellie out in indianapolis. tonight we finally get to hear who they think will be the winners of the big game. they also got some predictions from other people who are in the know. >> reporter: so here we are, less than 24 hours from the kickoff of super bowl xlvi, and it's about that time where we give our own predictions. they mean absolutely nothing. >> reporter: absolutely nothing. >> reporter: but we've got to do it. so i want to hear yours first, man. >> reporter: i think i've already made it clear. i'm expecting the giants to win the game. i'm expecting them to win the it game because i think in every area that matters, both offense, defense and special teams, i think the giants have just the slightest bit of an edge. and that includes quarterbacking. i really do think that eli manning is peaking at just the right time. that's one. and number two, i think eli fully realizes if he wins this game that's his ticket to canton and the hall of fame.

>> reporter: wow, eli in the hall of fame. i'm picking the patriots for the sole purpose that everybody else including you seemingly is picking the giants. >> reporter: you just want to be contrast. >> reporter: i like the fact people are counting brady out. i can't get many to agree with me. we polled some of the experts and people in this game for a long time on wroo rradio row. here are their picks. >> i feel like the giants are overkfd. i like the pats. >> i like the giants in this one. i think the giants' wide receiving corps is going to be a real task to deal with for the new england patriots secondary. >> i think the giants will win. i think the defense is on track. brady is really going to have to watch it from both sides. >> i think the giants will win it. i think they're the hottest team right now, and i think eli is the hottest quarterback right now. i think if they do their job pressing the quarterback they

should win it. >> reporter: and there you have it, from the experts. i think most agree it's going to be a pretty good game. >> reporter: i don't think there's any question. i'm really looking forward to it. have we not had a ball here at the super bowl? >> reporter: it's been awesome. >> reporter: this is my fifth one and i'm telling you even though the redskins aren't in it, it still is is a blast because this is an american institution like no other. and after the game we'll be reporting one more time from the field here at lucas oil stadium. looking forward to it. >> we'll see those guys tomorrow night live at 11:00 or sometime thereafter. chuck is here with a look at our forecast. >> had rain and snow earlier this evening. most of the snow has come to an end fleers now, but there still may be a few snowflakes flying between now and when you get your sunday morning started. the proof is always in the pictures. roll the videotape. yes, indeed, gaithersburg, maryland, one of the many spots in montgomery county that saw up to an inch and a half in a few

places. my colleague tom curen measured xaktsly 1.2 inches at his house in northern montgomery county. it didn't last too long, and most. grassy areas have lost the coating of whietd from earlier this evening. cloudy skies remain, 38 degrees in downtown where we did not see a single flake earlier this evening. 34 now in rockville and gaugersville, 38 in downtown, 35 in prince george's county, in fairfax county, springfield, mary field, burke and reston all in the mid to upper 30 frz. toward the blue ridge, yust a smidgeon colder, 32 in winchester, near 40 across southern maryland. your super bowl sunday planner, cloudy and wet in the morning, maybe a little light rain or snow lingering into the early morning hours, a few breaks of sunshine from mid to late afternoon and temperatures tomorrow climbing into the low 40s generally. on storm 4 radar, not much coming down in the district just yet, but there are very light

snow showers coming right down to 70 through montgomery county, also out of northern loudoun county, the panhandle west virginia wf, few snowflakes in and around martinsburg. this is generally drifting southea southeastbound. some of this will end up downtown and we'll have conversational snowflakes and light rain showers during the overnight hours. any accumulating snow potential is probably confined to montgomery, frederick counties and pan haend elle west virginia wf. we'll be off to a generally light start tomorrow as high pressure builds in, puts the dry air in place. one or two breaks of sunshine but staying chilly tomorrow. bright sunshine continues monday. up close on our microcast model, the light snow persists across the high spots throughout the overnight hours tonight, maybe a little bit of rain sneaking into the washington area as well. but, again, any real opportunities for accumulations are confined really to northern maryland out to the panhandle

west virginia wf. even that, it's only going to be an inch at most probably. light rain and snow, maybe an additional inch or so, that's it. most chances of accumulation well north and west of the d.c. metro. low in the low 30s. tomorrow chilly, rain and snow ending long before noontime. little clearing late, not a lot of sunshine and as a result staying chilly with a high of only 43, sunshine back for monday and tuesday, highs near 50. and another chance for rain, maybe some more conversational snowflakes late wednesday night into the predawn hours of thursday. but even that doesn't look like another inch. >> thank you, chuck. coming up in sports, the nfl hands out some hardware. plus, it's a

everybody's getting ready. >> everybody but one man. on super bowl eve, the patriots played the role of grinch releasing underwood and signing a rookie defensive end. the move increases the chances that receiver chad ochocinco will be active for the game. it's not all bad news for underwood. he would likely still get a ring if they win. meanwhile, big night for aaron rodgers winning the league mvp award. he received 48 of the 50 awards earning the first mvp award of his career. this season rodgers set an nfl record with a quarterback rating of 122.5. he threw 45 touchdowns and only six interceptions. rodgers is the fifth packer to win the mvp. also ravens linebacker wins the defensive player of the year award and with his first season of the 49ers jim harbaugh coach the year. also twont, the 2012 pro

second quarter, williams lobs it up for jordan. oh, my! oh, my. he's a talented young man. third quarter, this time mo williams lobs it up for blake griffin. and you so don't want to be nick young right now. mm-hmm, just embarrassing. griffin hammers it down, finished with game-high 25 points. clippers crush the wizards 107-81, washington now 4-20. big game in college park, maryland, hosting number 5 north carolina. end of the first half, terps up two. with a sick crossover, wow, hits the floater. take another look at this. are you kidding me? wow! team-high 20 points, maryland up three at the break. second half, alex lynn tries the pass, turns it over. kendall marshall late in the break dishes to john henson for the dunk.
