America's favorite Super Bowl snacks by state
Super Bowl Sunday is just days away — and one of the most important plays for watching the NFL championship game is to game-plan your party spread.
To learn more about the eating habits of Americans during the Super Bowl, Casino.org surveyed 3,000 Americans about their game-day snack preferences.
These findings, which also revealed the top choice of drinks and dips, were then divided by state.
Here's what Americans plan to eat and drink during Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
You might see some surprises here …
Buffalo wings earned the top spot as America's favorite Super Bowl snack, said Casino.org, based in Las Vegas.
This fan favorite was the preferred snack in 32 states, including its namesake New York (home to Buffalo), and others like Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Chips claimed the No. 2 spot in seven states, among them Massachusetts, New Mexico and Washington.
Nachos ranked No. 3 in America's snack lineup in five states – Colorado, Maine, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Wisconsin.
Pizza and a cheese charcuterie board were tied as the preferred Super Bowl snack in three states each.
Pizza was the top pick in California, Michigan and South Dakota — while the assorted cheese board was No. 1 in Kansas, Montana and Iowa.
Loaded potato skins were the favorite Super Bowl snack in Hawaii.
Queso led all dips in 18 states, including Colorado, Kentucky, New Mexico, Texas and Washington.
Buffalo chicken dip is the backup choice in 16 states, including Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, Casino.org revealed.
The seven-layer dip was the third favorite in five states – Alaska, Louisiana, Oregon, Rhode Island and Wisconsin.
"Buffalo wings and queso dip are game-day staples – tasty, shareable and exactly what you'd expect at a Super Bowl party," Adam Ryan, a data editor with Casino.org, told Fox News Digital.
"More than just snacks, they're a tradition that brings people together and a real taste for American culture, so it only makes sense that the most iconic snack takes first place."
When it comes to Super Bowl drinks, soda and beer were the top scorers, the survey revealed.
Soda snatched the top spot in 31 states (and Washington, D.C.), including California, Florida, Kentucky, Texas, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.
But beer was the go-to beverage in 20 states — among them Alabama, Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Mississippi and Oregon.

French Open: Elina Svitolina saves match points and beats 2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini
Associated Press PARIS (AP) — Elina Svitolina saved three match points and came back to eliminate 2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-1 on Sunday, earning her fifth French Open quarterfinal appearance. The 13th-seeded Svitolina, who is from Ukraine, is a three-time Grand Slam semifinalist — getting that far twice at Wimbledon and once at the U.S. Open — but is 0-4 so far in the quarterfinals at Roland-Garros. She'll try to go a step further on Tuesday, when she will face either three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek or 2022 Wimbledon champion Elina Rybakina. They were scheduled to play each other next at Court Philippe-Chatrier. The No. 4-seeded Paolini entered Sunday on a career-best nine-match winning streak, including a run to the title on red clay at the Italian Open. A year ago, she reached her first major final at the French Open, losing to Swiatek, then also made it to the championship match at Wimbledon, where she lost to Barbora Krejcikova. Against Svitolina, Paolini served for the victory while leading by a set and a break at 5-3 in the second. But the Italian got broken at 15 there. She then held her first two match points while ahead 5-4, 15-40 as Svitolina served. Paolini missed a forehand on the initial chance to end things, and a backhand on the next. In the ensuing tiebreaker, Paolini once again was a single point from winning — and once again failed to come through, this time when Svitolina ended a 14-stroke exchange with a volley winner. From there, Svitolina was in control, racing to a 4-0 lead in the third set. She is quite comfortable on clay, where she has earned a tour-leading 16 of her 27 wins this season. Svitolina also defeated Paolini at the Australian Open in January. What else happened at the French Open on Sunday? In the day's first men's match, Tommy Paul beat No. 25 Alexei Popyrin 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 to become the first American man in the quarterfinals at Roland-Garros since Andre Agassi in 2003. The 28-year-old Paul, who is seeded 12th, was coming off consecutive five-setters but breezed to this victory. Who is playing Monday at Roland-Garros? The fourth round is scheduled to conclude on Day 9, with No. 1 Jannik Sinner, 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic and four American women in action: No. 2 Coco Gauff, No. 3 Jessica Pegula and No. 7 Madison Keys vs. Hailey Baptiste. ___ More AP tennis:

Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco reflects on recently graduating from Rutgers
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco reflects on recently graduating from Rutgers The offseason has been successful for Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco despite not needing to touch the football field. He recently earned a degree from his alma mater, Rutgers. "Yes, I was in online classes. It started in spring, so I was able to go back once," said Pacheco, revealing to reporters last Thursday, "The Super Bowl was finishing up, and I was able to hit it hard and lock in, put all my mental toughness towards that." The former Rutgers football team captain returned to his alma mater to participate in the school's graduation ceremony and finished with his degree in criminal justice. "One time, I was in class, and I saw some older gentlemen in class. And I'm like, oh, it's never too late to go back," said Pacheco, "He was probably one of the tallest students in there, but he was an older gentleman. I'm like, yo, like that right there. That's the motivation that you are never too old to go back and get your degree." Due to an injury, he appeared in seven games in 2024 and was limited to 83 carries for 310 yards and a touchdown. He is preparing for the new season but is proud of his tremendous personal accomplishment. "Yes, I'll say it's a blessing because, coming from where I come from, you don't get too many that make you or you don't get too many kids that graduate," said Pacheco, "Coming from Vineland, graduating college, and not only doing that, but staying home and not being one of those students that transferred and went place to place, I actually stayed home and got it tattooed on me, and that's what it's about, finishing where you start." Entering his fourth season in Kansas City, the former seventh-round draft pick is eligible for a contract extension.

11 best post-June 1 NFL free agents, from Asante Samuel Jr. to Keenan Allen
11 best post-June 1 NFL free agents, from Asante Samuel Jr. to Keenan Allen June 2 is an important date on the NFL calendar. It's the day players released in the offseason can have their dead salary cap hits spread over the current season and the next. It's also the day players can be signed in free agency without affecting a team's compensatory draft pick formula. The NFL's compensatory pick formula is designed to bolster teams who lose more than they gain in free agency. Compensatory picks are awarded at the end of rounds three, four, five, six and seven based on the value of players lost and the offsetting contracts of veterans signed as free agents. By waiting until June to sign players, teams can maximize the value of losing players in March by bringing in draft assets for the following spring. 1 GLARING WEAKNESS FOR EVERY NFL TEAM: What's your favorite team missing this offseason? That means the Philadelphia Eagles can ensure a mid-draft haul after losing starters Milton Williams, Josh Sweat and Mekhi Becton after their Super Bowl-winning season. The Pittsburgh Steelers can capitalize on their losses and potentially find a starting quarterback (even if he's a 41-year-old media headache who was 2024's 22nd-best passer). The post-June 1 free agent market won't be a spending spree, but it will provide more action than we've seen in the last six weeks of NFL roster building. Let's talk about the best players available late in the free agent process, in no particular order. CB Asante Samuel Jr. 2024 team: Los Angeles Chargers Samuel lacks ideal size as an outside corner (5-foot-10, 180 pounds) and has minimal experience in the slot. Though he's failed to live up to his father's spectacular example, he's been a solid presence who allowed a 87.8 passer rating in coverage (two interceptions, 15 passes defensed, three touchdowns allowed) over the last two seasons. His return from the shoulder injury that ended his 2024 after four games may loom in the heads of general managers considering him. WR Keenan Allen 2024 team: Chicago Bears WR Amari Cooper 2024 team: Cleveland Browns/Buffalo Bills Let's tackle these two former Pro Bowlers at the same time. Both Allen and Cooper had their least productive seasons of their past eight years. But both remained moderately useful on a per-snap basis. Allen's 1.65 yards per route run (YPRR) ranked 50th among 90 qualified wideouts. Cooper's 1.62 ranked 53rd. Allen is more productive. Cooper is younger and more engaged as a blocker. Either brings value as a WR3 type on a one-year deal -- think Adam Thielen in Carolina. But further decline is expected for two players in their 30s who play a position that relies heavily on athleticism. RB J.K. Dobbins 2024 team: Los Angeles Chargers A draft flush with running backs has dented Dobbins' value despite his comeback 2024 campaign. The oft-injured back ran for 905 yards in 13 games last season after totaling only nine games the previous three seasons. While he brings modest value as a receiver, Dobbins' 0.6 rush yards over expected (RYOE) per carry ranked 14th among qualified running backs last season and he's still just 26 years old. S Justin Simmons 2024 team: Atlanta Falcons Laying a bet on a safety who turns 32 in November is a tricky wager. While Simmons wasn't able to keep a streak of All-Pro selections alive in his lone year as a Falcon, he remained a valuable asset against the pass. He knocked down seven passes, intercepted two more and just 57 percent of his targets to be hauled in as the nearest defender. He may no longer be an explosive presence, but he remains a disruptor in the right secondary. CB Mike Hilton 2024 team: Cincinnati Bengals Need a veteran slot corner? Hilton's your huckleberry, even though he took a step backward alongside the rest of a defense that helped get Lou Anarumo fired this offseason. Hilton allowed 75 percent of his targets last season to be caught, which is a troubling trend for an aging veteran. But he's not *that* old (he just turned 31) and he remains a useful asset against the run (46 stops in 257 run snaps last season). A modest bet on a revival could pay out huge. G Brandon Scherff 2024 team: Jacksonville Jaguars Poor Brandon Scherff has only played for two NFL teams in his 10 year career; the Dan Snyder-era Washington Commanders and the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose dysfunction escapes eras and shines like the aurora borealis. He may be removed from his perennial Pro Bowl days, but at 34 years old he can still bring steady play and above-average pass blocking to the offensive line. EDGE Za'Darius Smith 2024 teams: Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions Smith is entering the Jadeveon Clowney phase of his career, where he inks a one-year deal, gives you six to nine sacks per season and generates some trade interest near the deadline. His pressure rate has hovered around a solid 15 percent each of the last three seasons. CB Shaquill Griffin 2024 team: Minnesota Vikings The success rate for 30-year-old cornerbacks isn't great. Griffin's history of inconsistency doesn't help matters. But he's recorded a passer rating allowed of under 76.0 each of the last two seasons, albeit in much more of a "rotational guy" role than as a lock-solid starter. S Julian Blackmon 2024 team: Indianapolis Colts A market failed to develop for Blackmon after a frustrating 2024 in which his missed tackle and yards per target allowed rates spiked. That's been the case in four of his five NFL seasons, but his 2023 campaign was Pro Bowl worthy (four interceptions, four total missed tackles, a 46.6 passer rating allowed). Now it will only take a modest bet for a team looking to restore him back to pretty-goodness. ST Jalen Reeves-Maybin 2024 team: Detroit Lions How much do you value special teams play -- not from a returner or gunner, but from a linebacker who offers little utility as a defender? Reeves-Maybin saw his tackling and coverage skills decline in a 10-game 2024, but he's an intuitive special teamer who brings high effort to the kicking game and was a 2023 second-team All-Pro as designated special teamer.
