With the NFL season kicking off in just one week, fans are preparing for tight games, fantasy football decisions, injury updates and the weekly pressure surrounding every win and loss. NFL legend and former All-Pro cornerback Ronde Barber discusses how fantasy football, sports betting and nonstop coverage have changed the way fans experience the game - sometimes turning into real stress. A new national survey found that 60% of fans consider football season stressful, 78% continue thinking about football after games end and 77% think about football after getting into bed, at least occasionally. Among stressed fans, nearly 7 in 10 say they sometimes grind or clench their teeth during or after tense games. The findings are part of the inaugural DenTek® Football Stress Test. DenTek Nighttime Dental Guards are designed to help protect teeth from the effects of nighttime grinding and clenching.
