Pre game preparation is one of the most important and necessary activities to preform every Sunday afternoon.

Step 1. If you are not going to the game, then the most important thing to do is to make 100% sure your DVR is working and set to record the game. To find out the game time you can always check the local newspaper or you and visit http://www.raiders.com/ the Raiders official website.

Step 2. Make sure your guests arrive at least 20 minutes before kickoff (or you arrive at your friends house 20 minutes ahead) so that everyone is seated and ready for when the game starts.

Step 3. Prepare all food ahead of time. You don’t want to have to worry about when the chicken is going to be ready. The best snacks for during the game are, chips and dip (dip can be anything such as salsa, guacamole, cheese dip, etc.) Hot dogs and roast beef sandwiches are also usually a popular choice. Drinks are also an important choice. You can’t go wrong with Coke, Diet Coke, Root beer, Dr. Pepper. Also if you’re older than 21 you can have different assortments of alcohol too.

Step 4. Make sure you have your lucky jersey, T-shirt, socks, hat, underwear available so that you can help get the win.

Step 5. Just in case the power goes out, have your nearest friends house on speed dial so that you can hop in the car and rush over there in case of emergency and your missing the game.

Step 6. If you are one of those people who record the game so that you can start watching an hour after it starts to be able to avoid commercials, make sure no matter what that your iPhone updates are off, your phone is away (so that your friends won’t text you whats going on and tell you the score before you watch the plays.) Trust me, there’s nothing worse than hearing about a crazy overtime win, while you’re still watching the 4th quarter.
