Poll: 25% of Viewers Have Money Riding on Super Bowl
Sixty percent (60%) of American adults say they plan to watch the Colts and the Bears compete on Super Sunday this year. Overall, 42% expect a game that will ultimately be decided by ten points or less. As with all Super Bowls, those watching will include a mix of football fans who follow the action all season long and more casual fans who enjoy what has become a national celebration. Among the regular season football fans, 53% expect the winner to have less than a ten point edge. An earlier survey found that 59% expect Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts to be that winning team.
