Super Bowl 2018: A look at the kickoff time, date, TV info, live stream, odds update
At the conclusion of the 2004 NFL season, the Patriots beat the Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX. If you've been waiting ever since for the rematch, you're in luck. The teams will face off again on Sunday in Super Bowl LII.
In that meeting 13 years ago, the Patriots, of course, won 20-17, although the game wasn't that close. The Eagles and Patriots will battle again beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, with the Lombardi Trophy again on the line.
In many sportsbooks, the Patriots opened as 5.5-point favorites (some had them as high as 6-point favorites) after Conference Championship Sunday, but a lot of money on the Eagles steadily shifted the line to 4.5 by late last week. Then on Monday, some sportsbooks in Vegas started dealing Patriots -4. That's as far as we've seen it shift heading into the stretch run.
Here's everything you need to know for the 2018 Super Bowl, including who will be performing at halftime and who will be singing the national anthem as well as how to watch the big game.

Who will perform at halftime?
Justin Timberlake will handle Super Bowl LII halftime duties! The former NSYNC star, who has morphed into one of the most diverse and dynamic performers in music and movies, will be looking to end up somewhere high on this list. Timberlake hasn't been on the stage for the Super Bowl since his famous wardrobe malfunction with Janet Jackson after the 2003 season. More than a decade later, he returns.
"America the Beautiful''
Leslie Odom Jr., who won a best actor Tony Award in 2016 for originating the role of Aaron Burr in "Hamilton'' will perform the song at Super Bowl LII.
