Do you have a viewing game plan ready for Sunday night, Feb. 3, when the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams battle for the title of Super Bowl LIII champs?

Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz stadium. The NFL championship game will air on CBS.

Following are some ideas to make the most of your game experience on Sunday, whether watching at home or going out.

EPB Fiber Optics Wish Bowl

» Where: Stratton Hall, 3146 Broad St.

» When: 5:30 p.m. Sunday

» Tickets: $75

» For more information: 423-629-9474

Whether their team wins or not, guests at the Wish Bowl will still leave feeling like they are winners since all the proceeds from this benefit helps fund children's wishes through Make-a-Wish of East Tennessee,

In addition to watching the big game on a big-screen TV, there will be food from Famous Dave's, live and silent auctions and various types of drinks.

General admission tickets can be purchased beforehand or at the door for $75; tables can be bought ahead of time for $1,000. Additionally, guests may upgrade to VIP for $25 at the door to get a wristband for the signature, team-inspired cocktails that will be served, says Maggie Morgan, Make-a-Wish development coordinator.

Super Bowl Party

» Where: River Drifters, 1925 Suck Creek Road

» When: 6-11 p.m. Sunday

» For more information: 423-805-2925

The game won't kick off until 6:30 p.m., but the smart call is to arrive early in order to guarantee you get a seat. For this viewing party, River Drifters is offering $1 wings, $5 double cheeseburgers and $2.50 domestics.

Wear your favorite team's jersey and your first three wings are on the house.

The game will be on in the Captain's Quarters, bar, dining room and patio.

Buffalo Wild Wings

Buffalo Wild Wings is building on its "send this game to overtime" ad campaign with a reward offer if the game does go into OT.

The chain tweeted last week that if the Super Bowl goes into overtime, it would give everyone in America free wings Feb. 18.

That's right. The Atlanta- based restaurant will give out free snack-sized orders of chicken wings from 4 to 7 p.m. at all Buffalo Wild Wings locations on that day.

What are the chances of it happening? Of the 52 Super Bowls so far, only one has gone into OT: Super Bowl LI.
