We decided on Poppy's Time out. They charge $50 to make a reservation and you get $50 bill credit so it is a wash. We wanted a sports themed bar vs. a bar with TVs.

Manning's is having a pre game tailgate party @$400 a head.

I am heading to town on Thursday. From all reports the city will be a zoo. I saw today that the NFL had blocked 90% of the in town 30,000 hotel rooms and that is why availability was minimal. Luckily we got the IC NOLA on points almost a year ago.
