Super Bowl XLVIII is less than two weeks away. The top seeds in both conferences in will meet in the biggest NFL game of the year.

The contest is expected to be a close one with the point spread set at less than a field goal. If recent history is any indication, the game is likely to come down to the wire. The last 10 Super Bowls have been decided by an average of 6.3 points. Only three of those games were decided by more than once score.

Each year the Super Bowl is the most watched television event. In 2013, the game was seen by over 108 million people. That number could be exceeded this year, as ratings for both the AFC and NFC Championship Games saw increased viewership.
