Looking from another perspective on tomorrow's games. Looking for which way the referees will be leaning and try to give the edge to.

Broncos in Miami? Who cares?, and forget it. It's just another cowtown team that made it good. No glamour. Zilch. Nada. Not even material for Holywood story. Superbowl is not a Western stock show. If the superbowl game were in the west coast, that would be a different story.

Jets in Miami? With Parcells? Jets paid beaucoup buck$$$$ and stole this coach from NE. Now, that's going to be a tremendously HUGE financial bonanza for NFL and advertisers. That's Holywood story material and there will be Holywood personalities taking interest in this Superbowl. There are Jets fans all along the east coast, from NY to Florida (NY snowbirds and retirees). Give edge to NY for this category. NFL coaches refused instant replay for these playoffs and the Superbowl - the underlying reason just stated above.
Vikes - Falcons matchup doesn't have the same significance, glamor, or incentives.

I recall the Jets-Seahawks game, Bills-Patriots game, and Bills-Dolphins playoff game, and noted their significance. $$$ talk$ loud and clear these days. It's all loud and clear to this bubba.
