Around 1 billion people worldwide will sit down this Sunday to watch Super Bowl 51, between The New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons.

History could be made on Sunday night, as Tom Brady looks to collect his fifth Super Bowl Ring, going down as one of the greatest players to ever take part in the game.

It will be a memorable occasion no matter who wins, as victory for the Falcons would see them secure their first ever title. 

However, there is a lot more to this weekend than that - here is a list of 15 crazy facts that you need to know ahead of Sunday's showdown.

1. Super Bowl Sunday has the lowest crime rate over ANY OTHER DAY OF THE YEAR. Even lower than Christmas Day, because most people are either watching the game, getting drunk or eating junk food.

2. The Super Bowl is the MOST POPULAR annual sporting event. Around 200 millions American's will watch the game on SUNDAY, and around 1 BILLION people worldwide. That's ALOT of people.
