So the time is nearly here when a lot of Brits claim they know everything about NFL and watch the Super Bowl eating popcorn, nachos and drinking beer.
For those who don't know it's between New England Patriots V Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle won last year. The half time show this year is Katy Perry so if all else fails, least you can look at here for 30 minutes!
So who is watching it and who you supporting. Got a few bets on, Seahawks to win!
Personally a Dallas Cowboys fan so should be a good game either way.

Odds won't be great now. I bet on Seahawks in the playoffs. Also got Seahawks to score first TD but New England for first 3 point conversion.
Channel 4 normally do a run down of the main rules if people don't know them.

I reckon Patriots will dick 'em, and the price isn't too bad for the handicap so might take it

I'm a seahawks fan, so seahawks winning would be nice..
Although going pub to watch with football friends so if we don't win I will get some stick.
If you want to bet on something, I suggest a Gronk touchdown, a sherman interception and a lynch touchdown

I think the Sealants will win it again, got the better Deal and usually that beats a better offense. Then they've got Lynch too who is a beast (but doesn't like giving interviews)
Guess it all depends on how well inflated the balls are 
The beggars did their customary get to the playoffs, then lose straight away. Although they did have their two main targets missing for the match against the Colts.
Gronk TD usually happens in any given match, so seems a fair bet.

What's the standard like in England compared to the US?

I'm gonna take a stab at awful in comparison! But the uni team won all their regular season matches the other year and lost eventually to the guys who won it.
It's crazy in the US, the guy who coaches the derby team was telling me about on of the colleges that has a multi billion dollar training facility where they can mimic crowd noise, altitude, pitch conditions etc... Depending on where they're playing their next road match

Just got back from the U.S., and although I wasn't in Arizona, people were talking about it everywhere I went.
Bars full of advertising and offers to get people in, wish u was still there for it. I have no idea of the rules but atmosphere over there for
Sports was amazing

the standard is obviously incomparable.
they are mad for it over there, whole communities shut down to watch high school games, college games have 100k people go and watch

PATS WIN! And win me a fair chunk of money
Anyone who watched it. That last quarter was unbelivable. Such a good game

I support the Seahawks, family in the US are all Patriot fans.
Still cannot believe that ending, I cannot understand the play, just give it to Lynch and it's done. Don't think I've ever seen anything like it before.

Funny how all the hall of famers before the game predicted Seahawks to win, way better than last years SuperBowl!

Was a great game. Not sure what Seahawks were thinking with that last play.
Still, although a great game no moment beat Bradshaw's game winning touch down for NY Giants a few years ago when he fell into the end zone
