Game 2: John Adams vs. Super Bowl II

Super Bowl II wasn't even technically called a Super Bowl yet. The game barely deserved it. The Packers were favored by 14 points and won by 19 -- 33 to 14 -- over the AFL's Oakland Raiders. The Oakland defense, non-famously nicknamed "Eleven Angry Men," failed to stop Bart Starr and Co. They were more angry after the game. The big story was that Coach Lombardi might retire after it, seemingly with nothing left to prove. He did. At halftime, Packers guard Jerry Kramer announced to his teammates: "Let's play the last 30 minutes for the old man." He wasn't talking about John Adams.

Adams had plenty left to prove, as we learned from HBO. He essentially was the executive producer behind the American Revolution -- he pulled the strings that got Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence, he engineered George Washington into the job as first President and, after working as Washington's VP, he got the job himself. And as a bonus, he was married to Abigail Adams. Adams beats the spread easily here.

SCORE AFTER THIS MATCH: Presidents 2, Super Bowls 0.
