Ah, the Super Bowl. A time for parties, pizza, great commercials, and, of course, wardrobe malfunctions. There’s nothing quite like the “Big Game” to make people stand up and cheer for their team, their friend’s team, and for a great halftime show. This year’s Super Bowl, set to kick off on February 4, could be one of the best ever. Not only is it located in beautiful, sunny and “always a party” Miami, but it also features the recipe for an exceptional game. Take one great offensive team, add one great defensive team, mix with Gatorade and let sit for four quarters. The end result: priceless.

The Indianapolis Colts, representing the AFC, have been one of the best offenses in football for the past several years. To put it frankly, they are an offensive juggernaut. However, their defense struggles, especially to stop the run. On the other side, the NFC Champion Chicago Bears are a team that has always been, and still is, known for stellar defense. But their offense is the weaker link. Quarterback Rex Grossman is either hot or not, but when he’s not, he’s ice cold. With these two teams the score could be anything. A blow out on either side, a close game, or a 0-0 tie and double overtime.

With the anticipation of this year’s Super Bowl building, it’s hard not to look back on the championship games of yore. Teams have lost by large margins (the Denver Broncos of the 1980s come to mind) and some games that were too close for comfort, especially for those with money on the line.

The list below features the top five Super Bowls as deemed by a football expert — and by a “football expert” I simply mean “me.”

Super Bowl III, New York Jets vs. Baltimore Colts - Okay, I know this game was about 400 ago, but it is still one of the greatest ever played. Not only was it one of the biggest upsets in professional sports, but it also gave birth to “The Guarantee” when Joe Namath, the quarterback of the New York Jets, promised a victory.

This game, an AFL-NFL Championship, involved the heavily favored Baltimore Colts, representing the NFL, and the underdog New York Jets, representing the AFL. Played in Miami, four quarters saw Joe Namath throw for 206 yards on his way to being named MVP. Though favored by 20 points in some books, the Colts were unable to even keep the game within one score as the Jets went on to a 16-7 victory.

Super Bowl XXV, Buffalo Bills vs. New York Giants - For the years prior to this Super Bowl, the NFC had completely dominated championship games; there hadn’t been a close Super Bowl in what seemed like forever. But, enter the Buffalo Bills, a team that would lose, but only by one point, making this the closest Super Bowl in history.

A game that took place in the middle of the Gulf War, this game was marked by patriotism, a backup Giants quarterback, and a last minute field goal that was just a bit outside. As time expired, kicker Scott Norwood became the loneliest guy in the world as he watched his field goal attempt sail wide right. The Giants nearly named him MVP as they claimed a 20-19 victory.
