The last Super Bowl I watched was Eagles beating the Patriots in 2018 (I was finally disgusted by the hype and excess of the Super Bowl). But I always watch the conference championships. For me, it's the last week of football.

One of these games will be a blowout and the other will be a classic.

I don’t give a whit about the Stupor Bowl, but the conference championships are the games to watch. 4 teams all wanting to go to the big game and they know they have 2 weeks to heal up.

For me the NFL season ends tonight.
The super bowl is a joke.

“The super bowl is a joke.”

But what about the half time show?

You get the Easter Bunny wearing a Moo-mu. With added attraction of Bill E Joe sneering Anti-Trump, Anti-American lyrics at you!

Ok, so it IS a joke.

I don't have a dog is this fight but I am finding myself pulling for LA because of Matthew Stafford's heart warming pre-game ritual.

Matthew Stafford's pregame ritual of meeting with his girls.

‘M going with

Patriots over Broncos
Seattle over Rams

By making those selections the Rams/Broncs are locked in

I’ll watch the games and the Stupid Bowl but it all seems anticlimactic after watching the Hoosiers this year. And, no, I have no connections to Indiana.

Same here! I'm a little concerned about Darnold today... Stafford has a lot more experience in big games but I think the Seattle D overcomes any offensive shortcomings.

And if the Seahawks have any sense…they won’t pass in in the last two minutes this time.

Well, I will definitely be skipping the halftime show - who wants to see Bad Bunny flouncing around in a skirt dissing the U S of A?! Roger Goodell and the NFL seems to hate their core fans.

That seems to be the way of it. Can Denver put up a game without Nix?

"Can Denver put up a game without Nix?"

Doubtful. Denver has to keep NE offense off the field and hope the running and short passes will keep the game close. Then there might be a chance.
