This evening I'm starting my first homebrew extract. My goal is to have it ready to drink on the SuperBowl, Feb 3rd. The extract kit for this is Liberty Cream Ale w/ Munton's 6 gm dry yeast:

My question is what would be the best way to plan on the timings in primary/secondary/bottle to have it ready in time? I'm willing to sacrifice a little quality to have the first one ready to drink (keyword, little), but I don't want to end up with it being flat.
That means I have about 39 days to decide to utlize on what. I'm debating whether or not to use the secondary on this one. As a newb, it seems the easiest route would be to just leave it in the primary for 2 weeks and then bottle it for 3 weeks. What do you think? Should I try to organize the time so I can put it in the secondary for a week, is it worth that? Thanks for any advice.
