So then you're rooting for the Eagles on Sunday? Well, let’s not go nuts here.. haven’t you always said it’s way more devastating to lose in the conference championship instead of the Super Bowl? For Brady, that’s what I’m gunning for… I hate them both... so I don't know what to do. I'll be with my Eagles fan brother-in-law in San Francisco on Sunday. I've heard tell of the Philly bar where he goes to watch games. Sounds like a nightmare. I'm not sure where we will be, but he's gonna be mad at me either way because I just simply can't pretend I'm happy when good things happen for the Eagles... on the other hand, I'd love to see Brady bounced out early. But I think we all know that's not gonna happen. But I don't wanna have to suffer another super bowl where they suck Brady's dick the whole time. If it's not this week, I really hope it's next week.

Nice picks. I think people on this board underestimate how popular the Eagles are globally. Super Bowl isn't just an American football game - it's a global party. I don't have figures to support this but if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that the Eagles are nowhere near the most popular teams internationally. That would have to be the Patriots, Packers, Steelers, Cowboys, 49ers, Raiders, Broncos etc. Eagles may be around the middle of the pack? Map NFL fandom in Europe
This is a map of NFL fandom in Europe. It about 2 years old, and the results of info compiled from google searches and other internet data. So you can put whatever stock you want into it. But, your guess isn't too far off. For Europe at least. No Eagles anywhere to be found, Patriots well represented, but Cowboys and Steelers represented much less than I expected, and that fucking Raiders logo sure has made an impact even though the team hasn't. Other than the complete absence of the Steelers the biggest surprise is that Vikings are pretty popular, but not in places where Vikings actually came from. And Portugal seems to be the only place that has its priorities in order.

I really don't need to see Brady in it again. I mean, I'll grudgingly admit that winning a 7th Super Bowl aged 43 in his first season with a new team against Patrick Mahomes was a tremendous story - but how can a repeat trip possibly top that in terms of intrigue? The same thing again - we already saw it just one year ago. It would just be adding cherries to an already overcrowded sundae. Enough already! Still, Brady getting bounced in the first round would likely be the worst result - he'd probably take it as motivation to go on yet another "revenge tour" and "prove all the doubters" wrong.

Some of that fandom seems so random (pardon the rhyme). Part of that comes from the method with which they determined that each country favored a team.. But even so.. Why were so many Belgians googling the Houston Texans a couple of years ago?

Most intriguing matchup - this is a hard one, most matchups would be intriguing but I’ll say Chiefs vs Packers as I think those are the 2 best teams and I would love to see Rodgers and Mahomes go head to head. By far the worst matchup would be Raiders vs Eagles - two slightly above average teams with not a lot of star players. I'd love to see Buffalo get in there, but you're probably right. The Chiefs and the Packers will be a good game. C'mon, Chiefs.

As a Dallas fan, I'll take Dallas vs anybody as its been 26 years! Could kick it old school and go Dallas vs Buff or REALLY old school and go Dallas vs Pitt.
If not Dallas, I'd like to see KC vs either GB or LAR.

What about Dallas/Raiders - now I know they're 'Vegas' now - but it's still the Raiders - an iconic team

Honestly, I don't care who's in the Super Bowl. I'm not some casual who's only interested in watching star players. A Raiders/Eagles Super Bowl would be just as fun as a Chiefs/Packers one.

Best - Chiefs/Eagles (as patsies) or Bengals/Eagles
Worst - Titans/Cowboys
Not much interest in seeing the Rams, Cards, Cowboys, Bills, Titans, Raiders

Yeah, Cowboys vs Raiders would be good. Both were in a bunch of SBs in the 70's yet never in the same year.

Best Super Bowl Matchup: Titans vs Rams
Rematch of XXXIV. God, has it really been 22 years?
Worst Super Bowl Matchup: Steelers vs Eagles
Worst playoff team in each conference. Eagles only in cuz they play in NFL weakest division. And I can't stomach hearing about Worthlessberger in another Suoer Bowl.
