The race to Super Bowl LIIV is down to four teams. Each has a unique appeal and a loyal NFL fan base, that will contribute to just how many people watch the game on TV on Feb. 2

The Super Bowl is perennially the highest-rated program on TV every year. This year it comes down to the Chiefs, 49ers, Titans and Packers. Most network executives or advertisers would tell you they would like to see New York Jets versus the Los Angeles Rams because that would pit the two largest television markets against each other (there has never been a Big Apple vs the City of Angels matchup in the big game).

So which teams present the next best options?

According to Neilsen, the Niners home of San Francisco is the 8th largest TV market followed by Nashville and the Titans at 27th. The Chiefs in Kansas City are not too far behind with the 32nd largest TV market. Back in Packer country in Green Bay the area represents the 67th largest TV market. So on paper, it would seem that the 49ers and the Titans would represent the best chance for a big audience.

But there are always intangibles. Stars can drive tune-in and there are few more exciting players on the field these days than Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

Green Bay may not be a huge television market but it is a team rich in tradition as the team has played in its original city longer than any other team in the NFL. The Pack first took the field in 1921. But beyond history, the team also boasts a national following and a likely future Hall of Fame quarterback in Aaron Rodgers -- the star of several State Farm commercials. Recently he was joined by none other than Mahomes in some ads, so a Packers vs Chiefs pairing would make fans of the TV spots as well as insurance giant State Farm very happy.

Comeback stories can also generate interest and the 49ers -- winner of five Super Bowls -- are back in the title game for the first time since 2013. The Titans have a comeback tale too in its quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who was injured in Miami and eventually discarded by the Dolphins which quietly traded him to Nashville. He was inserted into the Titans line-up after the team struggled to a 2-4 start and led the team to playoff glory.
