Years ago, Super Bowl “re-matches” were rare. However, now – not so much.

Steelers: 8 Super Bowl appearances, 7 opponents
Cowboys: 8 Super Bowl appearances, 6 opponents
Patriots: 6 Super Bowl appearances, 6 opponents
Packers: 5 Super Bowl appearances, 5 opponents
‘Niners: 5 Super Bowl appearances, 4 opponents
Raiders, Dolphins, Vikes, etc., etc.

With 16 games x 32 teams – Super Bowl “re-matches” are increasingly ubiquitous.

Each NFC team plays 25% of the AFC teams each season. If there are 45 potential superbowl rematches (I think this is what he means), then in an average year that would be 11.25 rematches.

(Packers fans, don’t try to point out how .25 games are impossible, you wouldn’t understand it if I explained).

So we have a whopping 19 matchups when the average is 11.25?

In related news, I just flipped a coin 6 times and it was heads 4 of them. ZOMFG!!1!1!1!!1! News FTW!

@07vrod….that’s what he said. Re-read the article and you will see that.

@mavajo…You must not have read the article. The Giants/Patriots one was mentioned in the opening paragraph before any others.

Any Bud Bowl rematches?

In order to have a super bowl rematch, you must have all the same players that played in those games. Every team has different players every year. So it’s just another game, not a rematch.

Uh… this isn’t that amazing. As more super bowls are played and more team combinations happen, these numbers will continue to rise.

A Steeler fan talking smack about the Lions? Whats wrong with you? Are you scared of the Lions or something? Because there was no reason to bring the Lions in here, especially from a Steeler “fan”

I prefer the matchup of the 1957 Western Conference Playoff, San Francisco at Detroit.

But I’m old school and doubt this whole AFL thing will ever survive.
