Lombardi Party ![]()
Six months after college football kicked off, we're down to one last football-like-substance until spring football. While we're partisan and will take a BCS CFP bowl any day of the week (particularly the new schedule which has three on New Year's Eve and one more as well as the two actual playoff semifinals on New Year's Day), our last decade of Super Bowls have been phenomenal – and this one should be no different.
Whether you're watching the game on FOX in Columbus or watching online via Fox Sports Go (which won't require a login during the game) from anywhere in the country, anytime we get to see the best offense in the sport take on the best defense, we're better for it. In the four previous times this has gone down in a Super Bowl, the defense has wound up on top three of them.
Interestingly enough, this marks only the second time the #1 seed in the AFC and the #1 seed in the NFC have meet in the Super Bowl. The last was in the 1994 matchup between Dallas and Buffalo, which the Cowboys won 30-13 (though the Bills led 13-6 at the half).
