Do you expect a close game, or a blowout? Would KC be the best team in NFL history (or in the Super Bowl era) if they win a third consecutive SB? If not, where would they rank? Are you looking forward to the commercials? This thread is here for all your Super Bowl talk.

    I look forward to spending the time watching the game with our daughter and her boyfriend as they will be coming to our house to visit. It should be a good time. I'm not a football *** fan***

    We do plan on going BOWLING on Sunday afternoon :) its our "super bowl" tradition. LOL

    I use to be a NFL fan just got away from it but I will do my best to watch it. Don't have a favorite or a pic yet but will probably catch up on the stats prior to the game.

    I’ll be watching the commercials, and may catch some of the game as well.

    My pick? I’ve got two. It will either be a close win by the Chiefs, or a blowout by the Eagles. I’m thinking if Barkley gets going, it’s gonna be a long evening for the Chiefs. He's the one player on those two teams who can be unstoppable.

    Well, we didn’t have a white Christmas (or Hanukkah), but here in southern NH we’ve got a white Super Bowl. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    So, you've got a perfect excuse to stay inside all day and watch the game. I think the pre-pregame show is already on.

    Were you guys in the area affected by the power loss?

    Not an interesting game from a pure football watching point of view, although I'm sure Eagles' fans thought it was a good game. The defense won the game in the first half, so I was hoping they would give the MVP to a defensive player. It went to the QB, of course. As much as it pains me to say it, the best team won.

    I thought the unsung hero's were the Eagles secondary, Mahome's spent a lot of time running around unable to find an open man, which led to 7 (or was it 8) sacks! Credit to the Philadelphia defense.

    Agreed. I've never seen a Mahomes-led offense look anything like that. The fact that Philadelphia did not blitz *at all* across 42 drop-backs, and managed 16 pressures and 6 sacks ... just amazing. Meanwhile, KC's defense dared Jalen Hurts to beat them with his arm, and he definitely did.

    Here's hoping the Philly fans who climb light poles at the Super Bowl parade all have a plan to get down. 🙏🦅
