NOTED:

Over the past five years, the average Super Bowl has lasted three hours and thirty-nine minutes. Since kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. ET this year, you can probably expect the game to end close to 11 p.m. ET.

Of course that's not an exact science. If the Super Bowl is anything like the NFC Championship and AFC Championship, both of which went to overtime, the game could end even later.
