You could also enjoy one of the many red and black Falcons inspired recipes during the game as a sign of support.
With dozens of invites to Super Bowl parties, your friends and family chose to go to your place for the Sunday game.

To ensure that every guest is satisfied, ask around to see what sorts of appetizers and drinks they prefer when they watch the Falcons win.
True blue (or, rather, red) Falcons fans may opt to cook Southern-inspired food for this year's game. And while warm southern food is comforting for the soul, it's not the only way to show your love (and possibly luck) for Atlanta's fave football team. In fact, some food is linked to being good luck for the Falcons. CNBC reported on GrubHub's findings that chicken noodle soup and chicken salad were ordered 195 percent more on days that the team won versus the days that they lost.
Yes, your team may win the big game, but want to know the best result? You'll be full and satisfied thanks to these red and black Falcons recipes no matter what the score is at the end of the game.
