Get ready for the Super Bowl by watching footballs overinflated in slow motion
Watch Next

The Super Bowl is fast approaching, and what better way to get in the spirit than by watching football inflation in slow motion.

Nope, we are not referring to the infamous and played-out #Deflategate. We're actually talking about the opposite -- over-inflating footballs.

The Slow Mo Guys have come out with a new video that shows us what over-inflating a football looks like in slow motion. Now these guys are British, so they refer to our American football as "pretend football." But we'll let it slide. With the Super Bowl coming up this weekend, nothing will bring America's sport down.
