Selita Ebanks and Karolina Kurkova - two Victoria's Secret Angels - will be cheering on the New York team at the Super Bowl, the supermodels told The Associated Press at the Victoria's Secret celebrity gifting suite Saturday.
"I think the Giants are the underdogs," Kurkova said. "You should always go for the underdogs."
Kurkova, originally from Czechoslovakia, acknowledges she doesn't know much about American football and will be relying on some kind folks sitting around her Sunday to explain what's happening on the field.
Meanwhile, Ebanks, a Caymanian-turned-New Yorker who's attended three previous Super Bowl games, predicts an exciting matchup - with the Giants eventually coming out on top.
"When the Patriots came to New York, it was 38-35," said Ebanks. "It was a very close game, and it was freezing. They were not only fighting each other but fighting the weather as well. I think this is going to be an even better game. Everyone's going to be on the edge of their seats."
Before the big game, however, there's a big party.
For the first time, Victoria's Secret has organized its own Super Bowl party. The exclusive Saturday night bash at the 10,000-square-foot Taste Ultra Lounge is being thrown to coincide with the release of the sultry retailer's annual "What is Sexy?" list and its first Super Bowl ad since 1999. The commercial will star Adriana Lima and a football.
"I think it's going to be the sexiest hottest party here," foreshadowed Kurkova. "We have so many people coming. We're overbooked because there's so many people wanting to come, which is flattering and fun. We want people to have fun and feel sexy."
