Football fans will be glued to the TV — and aren't known for being the tidiest bunch — so let your coffee table be the center of all the action. Get the space ready in a flash by purchasing a roll of kraft wrapping paper and using it to cover any endangered surfaces. A brightly colored masking tape can be used to tape down the edges of the paper, and instantly your table will be covered and protected, without the fuss of a tablecloth.
