Super Bowl Party

Super Bowl Sunday isn’t just about watching the biggest game of the year; it’s about having fun with family and friends. All Super Bowl party hosts out there may want to take note of some Super Bowl party games I have cooked up that you guys might find some fun. After all, what are you going to do during the long pre-game and two hour half time show?

If you have some athletes in your crew or some old has-beens who still think they can still sling the pigskin like Tom Brady, you may just want to have a pre-Super Bowl football game. Make one team the Giants and the other the Pats. Losers supply the beer at your Super Bowl bash.

Chances are, you and your buddies will be going back and forth everyday leading up to the big game about who’s going to win. Settle the score once and for all with some friendly wagering. Make a list of multiple wagers such as the straight up winner, point spread winner, and total winner. You could bring prop bets into the equation as well. Whoever wins the most wagers on your ticket takes home bragging rights and whatever cash you pooled in. Don’t tell your buddies you’re playing Jimmy’s Super Bowl picks.

If you’re planning on calling in sick Monday or are a pro at roughing it, drinking games always add to the excitement of Super Bowl Sunday. A game of “flippy-cup” is always a good way to go. Line up fans of each team on each side of a table. Fill your keg cups up with beer to the specified amount. Chug and flip your cup until it is fixed upside down. You know how it goes. Another drinking game is to have a key word that can’t be said like a player’s name or term such as “field goal.” Any time the word or words are said, you drink. It’s fun to trick people into saying the words.

I guess this is the technology age. A Madden showdown between the two Super Bowl contenders is always fun before the game. Nintendo Wii bowling, tennis, etc. are also fun activities for your adrenaline to feed on.

Everybody knows a Super Bowl party is more enjoyable when the wives are involved and having fun. How about having a wing ding contest for the wives? Whoever makes the best hot wings gets bragging rights. A cookie contests sounds good too! Be sure to pay plenty of compliments to each participant.

A little Texas Hold ‘em, or whatever your favorite brand, is another great way to get through the pre-game and half time shows. Strip poker with the ladies if you’re lucky.

Happy Super Bowl parties to all.
