Gonna be really fun though.
As far as people talking about this not being an interesting game... well, that's bound to be the feeling anybody has when the teams CBS hypes (big markets usually) don't make it through like they hope for... however, the superbowl itself is such an event, it really doesn't matter who is playing. That's where baseball and the NBA have messed up, when they don't have big markets their ratings tank.. with the superbowl and march madness, events that are bigger than the games themselves, it doesn't matter who plays -people are watching regardless.
So the NFL can't really lose in terms of the superbowl because the superbowl is a holiday now and they just get to celebrate their success on that day as a league, regardless of the outcome of the game.
That being said - i enjoy superbowl sundays a lot more when my team isn't in them --- at least, in terms of having a relaxing, fun time. I'll be nervous and uptight two weeks from now, but in a good way.

Every so often though, you get a team like the Falcons in 98, and today like the Cardinals where people who aren't alive today will look at this matchup this year and say...yeah, that's a weird matchup. I wonder how the Cardinals got in there. Unless of course they go on and start a dynasty of some sort and it looked like they belonged.

outside of the Pats, this decade we have seen
St Louis (2)
Tennessee
Baltimore
NY Giants (2)
Tampa Bay
Oakland
Carolina
Philadelphia
Seattle
Chicago
Pittsburgh (2)
Arizona
in the Super Bowl. i really don't notice any trend. the teams you named aren't winning the Super Bowl every year. they just receive the most media hype every year, and those are the teams people pick to win the SB.
