Instructions

1. 

   Host a chili cook off. Sports fans love to compete. So ask guests to bring a pot of their favorite chili and you supply the fixins, such as cheese. Make ballots and offer a fun prize. Serve the chili in large mugs so guests can walk around and hold it while watching the game.

2. 

   Predict the outcome. Have everyone write down who they think will win and what the final score will be before the game starts. Award a silly prize to the person who comes the closest.

3. 

   Play halftime hot potato. Pretend a football is a very, very hot potato and pass it in a circle just like you did as a kid. When the music stops, the person holding the football is out. Last one left in the circle is the winner.

4. 

   Tackle trivia. Testing your armchair quarterbacks on how well they know the game is a great way to liven up your party. You can find all the facts you need for free at funtrivia.com - choose category: sports.
