Lee Millard: Snacks ready, drink ready, Jeff Goldblum narrating the build up. Almost time for the Super Bowl.

Coin toss coming up, my money's on heads. Anyway, interesting to see who does what, it's good to get your hands on the ball, but the second half is often where all the points are so getting the ball first there could be crucial.

Bold move to give either Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes the ball first though isn't it?

Just the anthem to go, and it's a belter. A solid 8/10 for me for pre-game anthems.

The pre-game rituals are underway, we'll soon have the anthem and the traditional fly-over, which I can tell you from experience is a lot more emotional that you'd imagine it would be - even for a non-American!

JimC: Great to see the band back together for tonight's game coverage on.

Robert Rees: Mark Chapman is back! Brilliant.

Ben Cadwallader: Yes, great to see Chappers back hosting & to see Iron Mike joining Jason & Osi on the punditry side of things

That's right, the guys are on BBC Two right now, then switching to BBC One for the kick-off.

Andrew is spot on with his stats, this is a match-up of two QBs who have won MVP and Super Bowl MVP. It's also the first time in history that the winning quarterbacks of the last two Super Bowls have met in the showpiece.

Greatness indeed.

Andrew Priestley: This is the first Super Bowl to feature two starting QBs who have each won a NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP. We’re witnessing greatness.

Steve Spagnuolo was the New York Giants' defensive coordinator when they beat Brady's New England Patriots in Super Bowl 42. Who's the Chiefs' DC? Yep, you guessed it...Steve Spagnuolo. On his former DC, Osi said: "He has a lot of weapons at his disposal, and I think this is where, as a defensive coordinator, you have to appreciate what you have whenever you have all-pro defensive ends. Then you set your game plan around that.

"I think in this situation, he has some really good defensive backs. He has some good players up front, but maybe he doesn't have a front four the way we had. So he's going to tailor different things.

"He's going to disguise his coverage to get ready to hold the ball for one extra second. He's going to bring blitzes up the middle. He's going to start to twist the defensive linemen. He's going to do all these different things because he understands that all he has to do is get Brady to make a wrong decision or at least get him to pump and hold off for a split second. Then maybe those defensive linemen will be able to get there."

So, let's have your thoughts on tonight, who will win? Who will get the MVP?

Will Patrick Mahomes outshine Tom Brady or will the veteran win a seventh Super Bowl?

Two-time Super Bowl winner

Bucs linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul was one of Osi's team-mates in the New York Giants team that beat Brady's New England Patriots in Super Bowl 46.

"I speak to Jason quite a bit. He's just happy to be there. He's had a tremendous season. I think the good thing for them is the fact that Kansas City have both of their offensive tackles out. You have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with their defence playing at an extraordinarily high level.

"Kansas City is really going to have to figure out how they're going to be able to deal with Jason Pierre-Paul and Shaquille Barrett, Ndamukong Suh and Vita Vea - all these players that they have on the defensive line. Kansas City, they want to get the ball into their playmakers' hands, but I'm not sure how they're going to do it with the level of pressure that's going to be coming at them."

Surprisingly, this is why I'm so excited about this game. They're both very similar, I would say. I'm leaning more Kansas City just because of the explosive nature of that offence, but when you look at Tampa Bay and the weapons Tom Brady has, I mean, there are one A and one B, and on the defensive side, I'm looking at that defensive line and the linebackers of Tampa Bay, the secondaries, who are young, but they've gotten better all year. I mean, Jamel Dean, at cornerback, he's one of the top guys in the league.

It’s the same with Kansas City. They've gotten better as the year's progressed. I thought that defence was a weakness. However, [defensive coordinator, Steve] Spagnuolo has done what he always does and he gets better as the year progresses. They are pretty evenly matched. That's why to me, it comes down to the quarterback. But more importantly, this year, because those defences match up well against each other. It comes down to whose quarterback has an A+ game.

It's not just Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes of course, this game will be decided all over the field.

They say defence wins championships and the Tampa Bay defence in particular will be key as the Chiefs have a re-jigged offensive line that may struggle to protect Mahomes under the pressure.

Both sides also have superb playmakers at wide receiver and running back, take a look at who to look out for tonight.

Tom Brady has six Super Bowl wins, only two teams can match that, let alone players, with obviously the New England Patriots joining the Pittsburgh Steelers with a half-dozen victories.

If Brady wins tonight he'll go out on his own, which is a remarkable achievement - it'd be seven wins out of 55 Super Bowls ever played!

One record Brady doesn't own is winning the Super Bowl with two different teams, as only one starting quarterback has done that - his great rival Peyton Manning. Brady would love to tie that one tonight.

We just don't know how home advantage will count as we've never had it before in the Super Bowl! However, the Buccaneers players have been able to stay at home and only make the short journey to the ground.

As the NFC team is officially 'at home' this year, they also have their home locker room so they're in familiar territory.

For the Chiefs, perhaps it's not so bad, as this unique year means they've stayed in Kansas City all week, so have also been at home, and just flew in on Saturday like any other game.

Tampa Bay also decided to wear their white away jerseys when given the choice - maybe because they wore red when the Chiefs beat them earlier in the season, maybe because they are 9-2 in white tops this season, or maybe it's Tom Brady who is 4-1 when wearing white in Super Bowls, and 2-2 in colours.

The two teams met in Week 12 in Tampa Bay, with the Chiefs winning 27-24 after jumping out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 462 yards and three touchdowns, all to Tyreek Hill, while Tom Brady amassed 345 yards and two touchdowns - with two interceptions.

The Buccaneers will have learnt a lot from that day though, especially on defence, as the speed of this Kansas City attack often catches teams by surprise - now Tampa Bay have had two weeks to prepare.

There have been 13 Super Bowls that have been a rematch of a regular season game, with the winners of the first game going 6-7 so far, will the Chiefs even that up?

The Kansas City Chiefs want to go back-to-back, can they beat Tom Brady on home turf?

Tom Brady is out on the field to warm up, and he's ready to go!
