From the article: Best Football Board Games
Football (American football, not the sport also known as soccer) is my favorite sport, and a lot of excellent football-themed games have been published over the years. My personal favorite is Pizza Box Football (here's my complete list of the top 10 football board games -- what's your favorite? Share Your Favorites

My Favorite Football Games

Foto Electric Football by Cadaco and Football Strategy by Avalon Hill. Two great games that bring the action of football to the tabletop. Easy to learn and play with a minimum of random factors.

Strat-o-Matic Football

Far better than any competitor as a simulation. Gives a sense of real play calling, both offensively and defensively. Offers a simple basic game and advanced-play versions that are both realistic and stimulating to play. The rules could be updated, redone, colorized and reprinted, but Strat-o-Matic Football is still your best choice if you want to feel like you're in charge of all aspects of the game.

Pizza Box is Good, Blood Bowl is Best

I enjoy playing Pizza Box Football, but nothing compares to a good game of Blood Bowl. I haven't tried Grind yet, but it sounds like I need to.
