Why Super bowl is one-game series?

Question

that may be some stupid question though.
Stanley cup, World series, NBA finals, all of them are held with best of seven format.
But Super bowl is just one game format. (am I right? it's Super Sunday!)

Is there any particular reason for them not to held Super bowl with best of seven format, which might earn EVEN more profit and make EVEN more broadcasting?

Answer 1

The players have already played an exhausting, bone-breaking 16 weeks of a tough, rough sport. Plus 2 or 3 more weeks of the playoffs. So why play at least 4 more games to risk more injury? It would wear down the players extremely. If it was like that, super bowl players could have a shorter career. And they can't do something like play on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday because that would utterly wear down the players.

Answer 2

The Super Bowl is already 1/16th of the NFL regular season. That would be like a 10 game playoff series in baseball. There's also 0 precedent for any "series" in the NFL.



The "one and done" format is also a lot more intriguing. EVERYTHING is on the line for 60 minutes. No second chances. That's a big part of the game's appeal.

Answer 3

Because it's just one game. You don't need a waste of 5 games of the same result.



This is where the World Series and NBA Finals fail. Like all the years the Bulls were winning it with Jordan. Everyone knew the Bulls were going to blow everyone out as they would do in the first game, so why a repeat? Why keep doing it over and over?



It's all about making money.

Answer 4

The Super Bowl (and any other type of football post-season) are all determined by one game for one reason...injuries. Here's a statistic that I pulled up: "According to the U.S. Department of Labor, pro football has nearly eight times more injuries than any other commercial sports including the National Hockey League, the National Basketball Association, and professional auto racing.



The regular seasons are set up like this: NFL-16 games, NHL-82 games, NBA-82 games, MLB-162 games. The champions of each sport play: NFL-19-20 games, NHL-98-110 games, NBA 98-110 games, MLB-173-181 games.



Anyways...the NFL players play by far the fewest games, but they also have the most injuries. Playing extra games (although it would be awesome) would greatly increase the probability of injuries. Hopefully, that answers your question.

Answer 5

The great Bowl is already a million/sixteenth of the NFL standard season. which could be like a 10 game playoff sequence in baseball. there is likewise 0 precedent for any "sequence" interior the NFL. The "one and performed" format is likewise so plenty greater exciting. each little thing is on the line for 60 minutes. No 2d possibilities. that's a huge portion of the game's attraction.

Answer 6

All post season games in the NFL are 1 game series, or single game elimination.

The NFL is much more physical than any other sport and therefore even a best of 3 series would be too much.

Answer 7

Football has always been a one and done type game. It's far too violent to have series' with football. If they did that, the average career of a player would probably be a couple of years. The body can only take so much punishment.

Answer 8

Because football is a REAL sport plain and simple. You either show up and play the game of your life, or you go home empty handed. There is no room for a "bad game" when you're on the biggest stage of them all. In my opinion, that whole 7 game series crap really takes all of the suspense out of every other sport's championship round.

Answer 9

maybe because it gets more ppl watching because it an all or nothing game and noone gets the upper edge with that home field....unless u make it wen ur hosting which never happened yet...may it will wen the ssuperbowl goes to baltimore...they winnin it this year anyway

Answer 10

OMG! I luv this ****!
