The 2015 Super Bowl is finally here and normally we don't discuss the NFL too much, unless it has to do with the draft, but this is the game of games between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.
First off, if you need rooting interest there are six Mountain West players, and a coach, on the respective rosters. Go ahead and pick a team that way. Or just go you way with rooting for your Super Bowl squares or be a fan of the commercials.
Prop bets are also hilarious and awesome to go through and see what craziness could happen. Remember, last year the first scoring play was a safety.
Game time
The Patriots and Seahawks' are expected kickoff at 6:30 p.m. ET but that is usually a rough estimate as the game likely will start probably a few minutes after that time.

NBC will be broadcasting the game, and as we mentioned it kicks just after 6:30 pm. ET.
