"  Are you ready for some football?! Super Bowl 48 is this Sunday: the Seattle Seahawks versus the Denver Broncos at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. For diehard football fans, this will be the matchup of the league&amp;#039;s best offense (Broncos with 37.9 points per game) against the league&amp;#039;s best defense (Seahawks with 14.4 points allowed per game). For music fans, there are performances by opera diva Renee Fleming singing the natural anthem and Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers performing at half time. For the rest of us, there is anticipation for this years&amp;#039; commercials, which are estimated to cost companies an average of $4 million for every 30 seconds of play. Whatever you&amp;#039;re excited for, here are a few mobile apps to help you stay up to date with all the latest happenings before, during, and after the game. Shazam: You may already be familiar with this app&amp;#039;s ability to recognize a wide variety of music that&amp;#039;s playing around you and provide song and artist information. What you may not realize is that for this year&amp;#039;s Super Bowl, up to a third of the ads featured during game breaks will be &amp;quot;Shazam-able.&amp;quot; What does this mean? Well, while in the app, anytime you see the Shazam logo in the beginning of an advertisement, just click the Shazam logo to capture the sound from the ad. Shazam will then recognize it and pull up a list of websites and YouTube videos that give you more information about the product, or let you watch the commercial again. You can even Shazam during the game to unlock the new timeline feature which keeps you updated on major events in the game, including the ads and the half time show. Be sure to use Shazam during the half-time show to get the playlist and exclusive content. NFL Mobile: In anticipation for this year&amp;#039;s game, the NFL released an update to its official iOS app, with a new section dedicated to the Super Bowl. This not-yet-released section will include relevant news and exclusive videos. Also, if you are in and around the New York/New Jersey area, it will also have an event guide and provide a map of the city and all events happening during the week leading up to the big game. Also, Verizon customers can pay $5 to get live streaming of the Super Bowl to their smartphones or tablets through the app. Fox Sports Go (FSGO): For those of us that are not Verizon customers but still want to watch the game on the go, this app is your best bet. Offered by the FOX broadcasting company, it provides live streaming of all major sports. Typically, this service is only available to customers who have specific cable providers. However, from 12 a.m. on the day of the game until 3 a.m. the next day, Fox Sports is opening up the service to everyone, regardless of your cable provider. Non-Apple phone users are out of luck though \u2014 you will need either an iPhone (iOS 5.0 or later) or an iPad to use it.
