Super Bowl Prediction Game (click on image to print)

The game is pretty simple and straightforward. The printable question sheet poses twenty different questions about Super Bowl XLVIII between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos. Each person at the gathering should fill out the sheet with their personal predictions by answering “yes” or “no” to each question. The person who gets the most correct answers out of the 20 questions from the group at the end of the game is the winner.
One of the fun aspects of this prediction game is that it isn’t focused exclusively on the football game. The questions make you consider aspects of the entire production of the game that you might not have thought too much about before getting the questions sheet. There are questions about pre-game activities and the half-time performances. It also forces everyone to pay closer attention to the game as they watch to see if their predictions come true or not. It can also lead to cheering from the group at times when there would never be any if you were normally watching the game without these questions posed. In the end, it provides a fun and interesting twist to the game which can make it a lot more fun to watch for all.
For those on a tight budget with limited funds, it’s not essential that there is a prize given, away as “bragging rights” can be considered a prize in itself. The prediction game can also make it a fun alternative for those who don’t wish to bet money. On the other hand, specialized prizes geared toward the group, much like it can be done with families and friends playing football squares, can also be awarded. This game is a wonderful compliment to the Super Bowl squares game which helps everyone focus more on the game than the squares game does.
