  (#11) Super Bowl XI (Oakland Raiders Beat Minnesota Vikings)

  While the final tally might not appear as brutal as some of the other games on this list, don't make the mistake of thinking that Super Bowl XI between the Oakland Raiders and Minnesota Vikings was all that close.

  With the Raiders leading 16-0 at halftime, Oakland used a potent ground attack to run all over the Vikings, finishing with 266 total rushing yards on their way to the victory.

  Final Score:
  Oakland 32, Minnesota 14
• 

  (#3) Super Bowl XXXV (Baltimore Ravens Beat New York Giants)

  Every once in a while there's a team that is just destined to win the Lombardi Trophy, and after watching Super Bowl XXXV, it was clear that the Baltimore Ravens was that team.

  Boasting one of the most suffocating defenses in the league's history, the Ravens left no doubt that they'd earned that title, burying the New York Giants in decisive fashion, with Baltimore's defensive leader, Ray Lewis, earning game MVP honors for his performance and leadership of his defensive mates.

  Final Score:
  Baltimore 34, New York 7
• 

  (#7) Super Bowl VIII (Miami Dolphins Beat Minnesota Vikings)

  So how did the Miami Dolphins celebrate their perfect season from the previous year? With a laughable Super Bowl allowing them to repeat as champs, of course.

  With Miami quarterback Bob Griese throwing just seven pass attempts for 73 yards, the Dolphins used future Hall of Fame running back Larry Csonka to bully the Minnesota Vikings defenders all day long, as he rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns. The final score wasn't as lopsided as others on this list, but the game itself was pretty poor.

  Final Score:
  Miami 24, Minnesota 7
• 

  (#9) Super Bowl XX (Chicago Bears Beat New England Patriots)

  Most sports fans remember this one because it involved the Chicago Bears doing their "Super Bowl Shuffle" and the team's massive defender, William Perry, scoring a rushing touchdown.

  While the New England Patriots might have been a great underdog story that fans were interested in supporting, the Bears squashed their hopes early, leading 23-3 at halftime before pouring it on in the second half.

  Final Score:
  Chicago 46, New England 10
• 

  (#6) Super Bowl XXXVII (Tampa Bay Buccaneers Beat Oakland Raiders)

  For all intents and purposes, Super Bowl XXXVII was pretty much over by halftime, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers led the Oakland Raiders 20-3 after two quarters thanks to a tremendous defensive effort.

  The second half only showed the Bucs were about as good on defense as everyone initially believed, picking off five passes from Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon and returning three for defensive touchdowns. This game was also a nice payback for Tampa head coach Jon Gruden, who had been traded to the team from Oakland the previous offseason.

  Final Score:
  Tampa Bay 48, Oakland 21
• 

  (#8) Super Bowl XL (Pittsburgh Steelers Beat Seattle Seahawks)

  Although the game itself was fairly competitive, Super Bowl XL was an extra large stinker for those who were watching. Seriously, people just forget that this game was ever even played and can't remember what happened in it because it wasn't all that memorable.

  Maybe it was because the game was played in Detroit - a rare, cold-weather city to serve as host - or that there weren't many big plays to speak of? Either way, it is mostly remembered for the refs botching a few calls and then Steelers running back Jerome Bettis ending his career with a Super Bowl win in his home town.

  Final Score:
  Pittsburgh 21, Seattle 10
