Is it too early to ask what you're making?
I'm going to a party at someone else's home. It's sort of a potluck.

I'd like to make a couple of things - maybe something savory and
something sweet.

I am thinking tortilla pinwheels and <gasp> grape jelly meatballs plus a
cookie or bar.

Thoughts? Menus?

We'll go out to dinner. Restaurants won't be crowded at all that night,
especially here in New England if they are in it.

Why do you need a Super Bowl anyway? If a team goes 16-0, they won, right?.

Your ideas are fine. Super Bowl parties are typically events where the
food is very basic, stick to your ribs sort of fair such as pizza,
chicken wings, sandwiches, meatballs, chili, etc. Tortilla pinwheels and
grape jelly meatballs should go over well.

Sweetish meatballs are both savory and sweet. You'll score a touchdown
at the party with the grape jelly meatballs. It's a perfect venue. Ham
wraps, or whatever they're called with green onion and cream cheese, can
be an easy to make and tasty offering too. Little weenies wrapped in
store-bought croissant dough seem to be a hit too. Don't overthink or
waste too much time on this.
I've never had a cookie at a superbowl party. They don't seem to go all
that well with beer.

If yer gonna throw out (up) a spread like that, you'd better include
several half-gallon jugs of Jim Beam so your hosts and fellow party-
goers won't realize that they are eating such disgusting crap.

I'm allergic to football, but if I was going to watch the super bowl game, I
suppose I'd want "theme foods" - stuff that somehow addressed the purpose of
the game: Large burly men pretending to be concerned about moving a ball
around a field, but really interested in climbing and jumping on each other,
and patting one another on the ass. If there was more to it, you'd think
they'd be able to say something more interesting than "Well, Jim, we're just
play as bestest we can, and that's about all we can do."

What foods fit that theme?

I'd take a big oval tray of "Tex-Mex dip" and tortilla chips:

refried beans
guacamole
sour cream mixed with taco seasoning
shredded Cheddar cheese
thinly sliced scallions
sliced or chopped black olives
diced tomatoes

I copied mine from a cover feature on an old Family Circle magazine -
I think from the 70s or early 80s. That's the first time I ever saw
it.

We've got friends who bring that to most pot luck affairs. It's
pretty crappy. Once it sits for more than 15 minutes it's a slimy
mess.

Double Ewwwwwwwwwww. Once dipped the first time, that chip holds onto
the enzymes from one's mouth, and "liquifies" the remaining sour cream
mixture. Just like eating jello or pudding with a spoon and then
putting the spoon back in to get some more, and then storing what's
left - you'll find half liquid in about a day.

There's no accounting for some peoples' friends. >;-)

I'm not sure if you're serious, but they are layered. Let that stuff
sit out for an hour during cocktails and it's nasty.

They're not good cooks. I wouldn't matter. Unless that recipe is
assembled and scarfed down real fast it's garbage. I've tried it
several times made by different people. It's always bad.

Nope. They actually made a sign up for a party requesting people
didn't do that because one of them had a co-worker who was known to
double-dip.

It's along the same lines as the ruben dip recipes. Sandra Lee would
