It doesn’t get much better than this. In a rarity for the topsy-turvy world of the NFL playoffs, the four best teams in the NFL will meet on championship Sunday, ensuring a top-notch matchup for the league’s first-ever cold-weather Super Bowl.
Making it even more unexpected, New England, Denver, Seattle and San Francisco aren’t just the premiere teams in January, they were also the best teams heading into the 2013 season. For four teams to enter the year as favorites, roll through the regular season as anticipated and avoid a playoff upset is unprecedented in recent NFL history.
The top-heavy final four is going to make for a fantastic championship Sunday and one of the most highly-anticipated Super Bowls of our time.
I know, rationally, that, I think, TV does not control the outcome of games. I am aware that football, today, is nothing more than a TV show that is televised, and the more interest in the game, the more advertising revenue they make. I also know that there is a guy on the field who lets them know when the commercials are done, and they can play. I remember at the first of the season talking with some fans, and we all agreed who the best teams, probably were, and what a great Superbowl it would generate. We all agreed that San Francisco should get another chance, brother follow brother so to speak, only fair. I imagine that next weeks games will be well-watched, a dream playoff situation, better than TV could hope for, I guess.
Who will be in the Super Bowl? I don't think it matters, all the favorites are working up to it, great season for TV. Brady going for number 4, Peyton for number 2, his brother won it last year ..... the ads will be about the same, regardless ..... is that good planning, or what?
