Reggie Wade is a writer for Yahoo Finance.The 1932 Olympics were here Babe Didrikson won the javelin and the hurdles all the way down there, on the field. So whether you root for the Pats or Rams - or no team - one thing is clear: The food industry will be the real winner on Sunday, though the stomachs of millions may beg to differ.

Last year for the big game, Domino’s ( DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world based on global retail sales, sold enough pizzas to stretch across more than 5,000 football fields. That also includes stocking up on 47% more wing sauces. To satisfy the hundreds of thousands who will fill its tables on Sunday, BWW will increase its wing output by 37% in terms of traditional wings and 20% more boneless wings. BWW plans to see a 30%-40% increase in traffic on football's biggest day. Buffalo Wild Wings ( BWLD) says it sold over 14 million traditional and boneless wings last year for the big game.
