Do you bleed blue or red?

Or navy and silver?

Are you more likely to scream "Go Utes" or "Go Chiefs?"

If you are definitely a Saturday over Sunday gridiron watcher, or vice versa, join our lighthearted sports debate. Which games have you dipping chips and playing coach from your couch — college football or the NFL?

College football vs. pro football

It's hard not to appreciate the athleticism and unpredictability of raw talent, even in your average college football game. And if the annual BYU vs. Utah Holy War teaches us anything, it's that there are definitely passionate rivalries in college ball. We'd guess there's little that can contend with the surge of adrenaline both on and off the field during every critical drive. College Utah football is serious business.

On the other hand, NFL players know how to play a fierce, explosive game. Pro football showcases incredible speed and powerhouse moves week after week. If you're into aggressive action, you'll find some intense, high-stakes matchups.

Tradition vs. tough guys

College games as a whole have a more "cheer for the home team," family-friendly vibe — something Utah football fans may appreciate.

You have to admit, marching bands and a packed student section give off a fun kind of energy. It may even make you a little nostalgic for a time when you only needed to worry about homework, especially if you attended the school you're cheering for.

On the other hand, in pro football, it's all about some big names — and a lot of really big dudes. The plays are precise, the hits are hard and strategy is key.

You know only the best will survive for a final showdown in the Super Bowl. And even if your spouse doesn't love the game, they'll stick around for the commercials and halftime show.

Go, vote, win!

All right, football fans, it's time to let your stadium voices be heard.
