America's finest sporting event is upon us: the 2016 Puppy Bowl.

On Super Bowl Sunday, airing the same time as the big game, puppies will flood your TV with wagging tails and slobbering kisses.

This year's roster features puppies from 44 animal shelters and rescue organizations located across the United States. Forty-nine canine players will take the field, representing either Team Ruff or Team Fluff.

And though we're sure you have your Super Bowl pick lined up, selecting your favorite Puppy Bowl team will prove nearly impossible.
