FYI: In terms of the AFC vs. NFC breakdown, of the 48 prior Super Bowls played, the NFC has the upper hand in championships with 26 compared to 22 for the AFC. Thankfully for the bulls, the S&P 500 has historically performed much better for the remainder of the year when the NFC wins. Following the 26 prior NFC victories, the S&P 500 has averaged a gain of 10.6% with positive returns over 80% of the time. That is more than twice the return of the S&P 500 following the 22 AFC victories. In those years, the S&P 500 averaged a gain of just 4.3% with positive returns less than two-thirds of the time. The AFC hasn't been a total slouch, though. The last six times an AFC team won the Super Bowl, the S&P 500 has been up for the remainder of the year every time for an average gain of 13.6%.
