While NFL athletes battle it out on the field, their fans have a battle of their own: the bulge. A recent poll by Nutrisystem Inc. found that 25 percent of NFL fans gain an average 10 pounds during the football season. What happened the day after the NFL's two best teams went head to head last year? Orders for Nutrisystem's men's program doubled, the weightloss product provider says.
