It's the biggest primetime event in American entertainment - but from an Australian point of view it showcases a lesser known sport and goes down on a random Monday in the middle of a workday.

There's a simple breakdown of the rules, a virtual travel guide of the two cities competing, a preview of the half time show and even some tips on the best American party food to serve at your Big Game party. The hope is by the end of this episode ...you'll be sold.
