Potential to be the least watched SB in the last 15 years.
So I guess I'm rooting for the Patriots in the Super Bowl. That's fucking weird.

Not sure this narrative has merit, but I guess we'll see. Why would the casual football fan have been more interested in watching the Jaguars in a Super Bowl? And the Minnesota home team story would've gotten more played out than "Jerome Bettis is from Detroit". Seems like the Patriots alone are ratings gold, like the Yankees in baseball.
Unless you mean fewer people will watch because the players all hate America and the troops.

Isn't this just wrong? I think the Panthers opened as a 6.5 point favorite two years ago
Jags taking a knee with 55 seconds and three timeouts at the end of the half was terrible. They played scared.
They had Bortles as their QB against the pats, how else did you want them to play? He wasn't going to win the game for them, and everyone knew it, so they tried to get in a position where he didn't have to.
I am not going to watch 1 minute of this showdown of terrible has been yankeeface cities. Barf.
People said the same things about Bama-Georgia and it got bonkers ratings. If it's a good game people will watch

I mean he kinda almost did? Plus especially in the second half the Pats were focused completely on shutting down the running game, and there were openings through the air if the Jags had the balls to take them.
On their last four series before the final drive they gave the ball to Fournette on first down every time, which is what the Pats expected and hoped they would do. You don't beat the Pats by playing it safe
