1. A shutout game.
2. An overtime game.
3. A punt return for a touchdown.
The reason is simple: none of the three have ever happened in the 48 years the NFL has been doing this Super Bowl thingy.

So your ideal would be a game that goes 0-0 into overtime, and then is won by a punt return for a touchdown?

The only person who would enjoy that more would be Scott Norwood- finally someone to take the attention away from his missed kick!

Whoa, wild ending to the basketball game at my former school (and still just down the street from me).

There has also never been a fair catch free kick in the Super Bowl. It almost happened at the end of the game last year, but the 49ers decided to return the safety kick.
I don't know of any short field goals returned for a touchdown (as was the case in this year's Iron Bowl).
The 1958 NFL Championship game ended in overtime, but that was in the pre-Super Bowl era.

...Do you know how many fair catch free kicks there have been in the NFL - PERIOD? Off the top of my head, I think there's only been a dozen total.
EDIT: My bad. 22 total attempts since 1933; only five were good. Phil Dawson of the San Francisco 49ers was the last to attempt one, back in September against the Saint Louis Rams. The kick went wide left, and the Rams returned it out of the end zone - but for only nine yards, and no time on the clock.
