WASHINGTON — The best part about the Super Bowl is that the event is so much bigger than the game itself. It brings together hard-core, casual and even non-fans to watch the action, the commercials and everything in between.

And you can bet on all of it.

In that spirit, we’ve asked the members of the WTOP sports department for their predictions for a whole bunch of things on the field and off on Sunday. Click through the slides above, and feel free to play along at home and see if you can do better.

The leg injury occurred Nov. 18, 2018, in the third quarter of a game between the Washington Redskins and Houston Texans. After being sacked by the Texans' J.J.
