As the leaves change color and people start thinking about all the pumpkin spice items available to eat, real sports fans know that the real sports fans are excited about one thing, football. It is fun to become a fan of one team and root for that team throughout the fall season to the upcoming Superbowl LVI, this February 13, 2022.
Most football fans want to see their favorite team make it to the superbowl but the teams have to go through 18 weeks of hard-fought games to see which are the last two teams standing at the championship playoff game.
Football is one of the most popular games in American sports because teams from a certain area or city have fans that thrive to go to their games and support their favorite team and players. We can all agree football is a great American game and a fall American tradition.
Many people like making predictions on which teams will make it to the Superbowl and most of the safe picks have been on the Ravens and the Titans. Both teams have had a phenomenal record of games so far through the preseason and game seasons.
With only eight more weeks to go, most of the other teams need to make a comeback if they want to secure a playoff spot, hopefully winning the Superbowl championship. At this point in the season teams are hoping to do as good as they can without getting injured players that could wreck the season.
The best way to get involved is to watch a game with someone who is a fan, maybe go to some PHS games. Then, you can learn the basics of the game, feel the excitement that comes with rooting for your team, especially with friends.
With all the problems today with people becoming less social, an activity that people do together can be just the thing to keep us from going crazy this winter. Go team!
