The Super Bowl is Sunday, with the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots vying for the championship.
Still, every year the NFL goes and tinkers with the rules, and this year is no different.
Touchbacks on kickoffs now come back to the 25 yard line instead of the 20 yard line.
As it turns out, therule change had no real effecton injury rates.
Kicks were still returned about as much as usual, as touchbacks only increased by around two percent.
Its a confusing set of rules, butSBNation covers the detailsif youre deeply invested in chop blocks.
Last years trial run to move extra point kicks back to the 15 yard line is now a rule.
Even though its a year old, commentators will likely talk about it during every extra point attempt.
Falcons Players to Watch: Matt Ryan, aka Ice aka Matty Ice, is the Falcons quarterback.
Julio Jones is the star receiver on the team, and has been unstoppable all year.
Patriots Players to Watch: Tom Brady is the guy youll hear the most about.
Brady is as maligned as he is loved, much like thePatriots coach, Bill Belichick.
This is the ninth Patriots Super Bowl appearance, the most in NFL history.
Its also head coach Bill Belichicks seventh trip to the Super Bowl.
They have won four so far.
The Falcons owner, Arthur Blank, was one of the three founders ofHome Depot.
Right now, betting siteOddshark puts the Falcons as the winner, 29.3-21.1with a three point spread.
Others are more bizarre.
Personally I give it a 100% chance.
Will there be a Microsoft tablet malfunction:Yes, 6/1.
Prop bets are about as random as they get, so have some fun and make a dumb bet.
Every participant pays an entry fee, then puts their name in a box on the grid.
At the end of each quarter, the square that holds the final digit of each teams score wins.
With that, you should have everything you need for the game.
If nothing else, toss a that was a ludicrous display around.
