There's more than just recipes, groceries and beverage stock for preparing for the biggest football, slash party Sunday of the year. It wouldn't hurt to know a few facts about Super Bowls in general.

You know that conversations while enjoying the day will very possibly lead to questions popping up. I'm not saying that you try to go in and wow everybody with knowledge.

Nobody likes a Mr. Know It All. Don't portray yourself as a walking encyclopedia on the NFL. But instead, it wouldn't hurt to know a few answers to some common questions that may arise among the group.

For example, who's won the most Super Bowls? Or what was the highest scoring Super Bowl? What somebody asks what team has never played in one?

What if one of the ladies wonders how much Super Bowl commercials cost companies? See what I mean, it wouldn't hurt to say that you read up on some facts, and you would share a few answers. Here's a good list to look over:

  • The highest Super Bowl score ever totaled 75 points. When the San Francisco 49ers lit up the scoreboard at Super Bowl XXIX in 1995, blasting the San Diego Chargers' to win 49 to 26. Out of the game's 10 total touchdowns, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young threw six of them.
