It”s that time of year again. Super Bowl XLIX is bearing down on America with all the force of outrageously over-priced ads. This year, the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks will duke it out for the title of Super Bowl Champion.
But they”ll ALSO be battling for the favor of their respective superhero patrons. Captain America (Chris Evans) favors the Patriots – of course he does – while Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) will be rooting for the Seahawks. And the happiness of children is on the line, after some Twitter smack-talk turned into the cutest bet of all time.
#1: It started out simply enough, with Evans drawing the proverbial line in the sand.
Well, well, well @prattprattpratt, looks like our teams are going into battle. For the next 2 weeks, you are not my friend, you are my enemy

#2: But then Pratt fired back with an epic burn.
@ChrisEvans We both know there's only one Captain America and his name is Russell Wilson. #SuperBowlBound #LOB #Repeat

#4: Leaving Star-Lord to set the stakes.
@ChrisEvans OK. Seahawks win you fly yourself to Seattle, visit @seattlechildren hospital as Captain America, waving the 12th man flag.

#5: A gentlemen's gentleman, Evans accepted the terms.
@prattprattpratt I accept. And when the Patriots humiliate your seachickens, I expect Star-Lord to arrive at @chris_haven in a Brady jersey

No pressure on the football teams obviously, but those sick kids are counting on you to win and/or lose! Guess we'll find out who's getting a surprise superhero visit on February 1, 2015.
UPDATE!
The New England Patriots have won Super Bowl XLIX! I guess that means Chris Pratt will be donning a Brady jersey and heading to visit the kids at Christopher's Haven!
Thank you to @prattprattpratt for being a good sport. I'll be there with you at @chris_haven, and don't worry @seattlechildren, we'll be
