See who’s picking the Kansas City Chiefs and who’s picking the San Francisco 49ers.
We are one day away from the Super Bowl, which will either see the Kansas City Chiefs win their first Lombardi Trophy since 1970, or the San Francisco 49ers hoist their sixth NFL championship in franchise history and first one since the mid-1990s.
To analyze this game using MMA terminology, the 49ers have a punishing ground game that wears opponents down, whereas the Chiefs have a quarterback named Patrick Mahomes who can beat you with his legs or his strong right hand (er… I guess his whole arm). Kansas City has both a quick-strike offense but they can drop some bombs that can knock you out cold. Tight ends George Kittle and Travis Kelce are elite at what they do, and in open space they have excellent takedown defense. Pass rushers Nick Bosa (49ers) and Frank Clark (Chiefs) have a history of bringing quarterbacks down. Keep an eye on Robbie Gould and Harrison Butker, because I heard both of them have excellent kicks.
Canada’s TheScore compiled a video of UFC fighters making their picks for Sunday’s game in Miami, and you can watch them all the top of the page. If you really don’t have that kind of time to carve out three minutes to watch it, here’s the full breakdown.
