WAYNE, N.J. — The Patriots are the betting favorites to win Super Bowl LII, but looming in the distance is their February nightmare: Eli Manning and the Giants, who are not quite favorites but who do have the look of contenders.
It only is June, of course, with the opener more than two months away. But Manning said Tuesday he would rather everyone be talking and thinking big from the start than the other way around.
“I think it’s a good thing,” he said, speaking during a 7-on-7 youth football camp, where he appeared on behalf of Gatorade to discuss the importance of summer hydration.
