1. Have a game plan
2. Size up the opponent
3. Get in condition
4. Watch what you eat before the game
5. Avoid penalties
6. Keep yourself in the game
7. Keep advancing toward the goal line
8. Touchdown!

There are also two healthy recipes in the game plan. Read the Super Bowl Game Plan for more information.
