A typical Super Bowl preview breaks down the game, key match-ups, and ultimately at the end will make a prediction on who will win. I am taking a different approach to it this year. This will be a fattie's guide to the "big" game this year. I'll highlight places to eat, fatties to keep an eye on during the game, and I'll still offer my prediction for the game. Without further adu, The Fatties Guide to Super Bowl 46.
Places to eat
I am from Indiana and have visited Indianapolis many times, so let me tell you, alot of solid options to visit. Most fatties tend to gravitate towards the buffet, as it offers the most bang for your buck. However if you're at the Super Bowl, no reason not to spend a little more money to have better food and still get full. I'm a big fan of the Weber Grill Restaurant in downton Indy. You can never go wrong with BBQ, and this place certainly knows what they are doing. I recommend a lunch visit here. You can't go wrong with either the Slow-Smoked Pulled Pork or the BBQ Pulled Beer Can Chicken sandwiches. A huge sandwich and only 10 bucks. Their burgers are also fantastic. I'm a big fan of the Wisconsin KettleBurger. Lots of cheese, beef, and bacon and not a whole lot of room for lame stuff, like lettuce and tomatoes. If you're a big spender, the large slab of ribs is a fairly good value at 22 bucks. As a fattie, it's okay to get dressed up every now then, especially if the Super Bowl is the reason you're in town. With that being said, you're probably looking for a more upscale place to eat dinner. Let me recommend Shula's Steakhouse, located in the Westin Hotel. They have an 48 oz porterhouse steak challenge that is music to the average fattie's ear. Finish it and you'll join an exclusive club. It will definitely be on more of the expensive side but well worth it.
Fatties in the Spotlight
Somehow when a fattie gets singled out for their effort, as VinceWilfork was for his play against the Ravens, it instills a sense of pride amongst all fatties. It gives them someone to stand behind and say, "He's just like one of us." The good news for fatties everywhere is that Vince Wilfork and Vince Wilfork's gut get to play in the Super Bowl. Every time that belly jiggles, us fatties can knock back a cold one and say, "This one's for you Vince." He is not the only fattie that will be playing in the game. Other fatties to keep an eye on include Matt Light, Brian Waters, and Nate Solder for the Patriots; and Kareem McKenzie, David Baas, and Chis Snee for the Giants.
Prediction
This is being billed as a rematch of Super Bowl 42, but these are two completely different teams than what played in that game. I really believe the Giants will struggle covering both Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernadez, but the Patriots secondary also isn't very good, so covering Hakeem Nicks, Mario Manningham, and Victor Cruz will be a struggle for the Patriots. It should be an exciting game, with both teams trading big plays.
Final Score: Patriots 27-Giants 24
I'm impressed I read no bias in you predicting the Patriots to win.
