Set Up Festive, Football-Themed Decor
1. Cut coasters out of AstroTurf ($1 per square foot at ondecksports.com, or go to your local hardware store). 2. Set out potted wheatgrass (available at flower shops and nurseries) topped with pennants and mini footballs (check out michaels.com and partycity.com). 3. Design your table runner to look like a football field; just spread out Con-Tact Chalkboard Contact Paper ($6 for a roll, 18 inches by six feet, at discountschoolsupply.com) and draw yard lines with chalk and a ruler. Then leave out the chalk and let your guests strategize their own plays throughout the party.

Create a Potato Bar
Swap a sports-bar favorite for a snack that’s more refined and better for you, too. Create a potato bar by baking a 15-ounce package of Alexia Oven Fries frozen potato wedges (available at supermarkets) and serving them warm with a variety of toppings, like chopped red onion, salsa, grated Cheddar, jalapeños, and low-fat sour cream.

Organize a Super Bowl Party Game
In lieu of a football pool, have each guest predict the winner’s final score. Write each guess on a tag and tie it to his or her beer stein. Whoever gets closest to the correct score wins.
