Another great reason to watch the game at home: you don’t have to be surrounded by sponsor logos and foam fingers. Dressing up your house on game day doesn’t have to be a logo-filled disaster. We prefer using your team’s colors in a more elegant way: think purple and gold throw pillows, Saints fans, or a tiger-striped throw for you folks at Clemson.

If your dog constantly barks, is afraid of humans, or eats off the table, keep him outside or in a crate while you have friends over who are trying to watch a game. However, if your furry friend is social, then by all means, get him into the game! It’s fairly easy to find canine-sized athletic jerseys from your favorite team, or if that’s too foo foo for your little guy, bandanas in team colors are another option.
