Super Bowl Predictions + Guess the Score + Activities
Mates,
It is Super Bowl Sunday, with kick off ~ 5 1/2 hrs away. Last game of the season. The line on the game hasn't changed much, starting at SF favored by 2.5, going down as low as 1 pt favorites very quickly, and last I looked it was at 1.5. Total points was at 51 two weeks ago, but has gone down to 47.5.
Anyway, time for predictions to amaze your friends and impress all around you:
1. Who wins?
2. Score?
3. Are you doing anything for the game, party, cook-out, etc.?
Have a great day and for those who will watch, enjoy.

Won't be watching as I dislike both teams, but I hope Moody has a game winner today and Michigan gets some mention.
February 11th, 2024 at 1:57 PM ^
"....and Michigan gets some mention." Was SUPER irritated when during a Lions Playoff game - I think it was the NFC Championship during the intros, Hutch mentions his high school, NOT his former college team that just won the National Championship. Most every other player said their college. WTF???
February 11th, 2024 at 2:08 PM ^
Many, many players cite their high schools. I've even seen a few elementary schools mentioned. And some JUCO transfers shout out the JUCO over the bigger school they transferred to.
February 11th, 2024 at 4:06 PM ^
Some players do that- not Michigan players!
My favorite was when CWood used to say "You know where!"
February 11th, 2024 at 2:09 PM ^
EGJ, i hear you on that, but my understanding is that he was emphasizing his detroit roots since it is/was such a 'detroit' event with the lions. shrug emoji
February 11th, 2024 at 2:56 PM ^
I am 100% certain he did that to emphasize his connection to Detroit, as Divine Child (his HS) is in Dearborn.
February 11th, 2024 at 3:50 PM ^
I get your point, but we can agree to disagree. First off, Dearborn is not Detroit, and for the national TV audience they may not know that it is near Detroit, and secondly your university just won the National Championship, something they have not done since 97/98 season. That deserves a shout out!
February 11th, 2024 at 7:22 PM ^
He doesn't always do that. He usually says Michigan. I have no issue if he wants to showcase his high school every now and then.
February 11th, 2024 at 1:22 PM ^
I've never cared less about a SB in my life.
February 11th, 2024 at 1:27 PM ^
San Francisco fan so just want them to win. I think it should be a good game regardless of who you favor.
We watch the SB as a family event every year. This year we ordered some pastrami from Katz’s deli and the brother in-law is bringing some bread from Zingerman’s. Obviously, there will be some other food but that’s the main course.
February 11th, 2024 at 1:30 PM ^
i'll be rooting at least mildly for the 49ers. was at the NFC Championship game and the SF fans were very cool, very respectful.
should be a good game, though i think KC has the momentum and if i was a bettor i'd take the chiefs and the point and a half.
February 11th, 2024 at 5:53 PM ^
Katz's in New York City? If so...respect. That's the best there is.
February 11th, 2024 at 1:30 PM ^
49ers- 17.
February 11th, 2024 at 1:30 PM ^
24-21 49ers
February 11th, 2024 at 1:32 PM ^
1. Taylor Swift
2. Kelce will thus score
3. Re-watching UM / Alabama for fourteenth time
February 11th, 2024 at 2:35 PM ^
Taylor Swift will be shown more then ten times not including her commercial.
If the Chiefs win Travis Kelce will engage her.
49s win and Steven A Smith will still say Mahomes is a better QB than Brady.
February 11th, 2024 at 1:33 PM ^
I have seen every Super Bowl since the Packers beat the Chiefs in the first one. This is the year the streak ends. The NFL loves the Chiefs.
February 11th, 2024 at 4:58 PM ^
Don’t care who wins. I’m hoping for a clean game from the officials. These guys have screwed the pooch often enough, and the crew working this game is supposedly the best they have. So let’s get it right, eh?
February 11th, 2024 at 1:39 PM ^
I'm going chiefs, 27-24. We always host my wife's fam for SB, but wife and kiddos not feeling well, so looks like just us this year. Probably just order wings since we normally do a potluck.
February 11th, 2024 at 1:43 PM ^
Chiefs, though rooting for 49ers
31-16
Lots of chicken wings
February 11th, 2024 at 1:45 PM ^
I'm hoping for a 49'er's win. As for festivities, we have people over every year and this year, I made way too much food: shrimp creole, Mississippi Roast sliders with pepperoncini, Italian broccoli salad, and for dessert, a friend in Detroit sent me two Sanders Bumpy Cakes, which is a Detroit specialty.
February 11th, 2024 at 2:07 PM ^
it would be an honor to be invited to a wendyk5 feast like that. your guests are lucky folks. enjoy.
February 11th, 2024 at 2:57 PM ^
The Mississippi Roast was one of those things I found on the internet and was very skeptical because it uses a packet of Ranch dressing seasoning and a packet of Au Jus seasoning, a stick of butter, and pepperoncini. How could this not be awful? Well, it's really good and if you like pot roast, I highly recommend it.
February 11th, 2024 at 3:01 PM ^
We did a slow roast this past week of venison, and it was out of this world.
February 11th, 2024 at 5:54 PM ^
I'M ON MY WAY OVER!!
February 11th, 2024 at 1:49 PM ^
Chiefs 24 49ers 19. San Fran goes for 2 late to get it within 3 and the try fails.
McCaffery anytime TD scorer
Debo goes for 5 plus rushes for over 40 yards.
February 11th, 2024 at 1:56 PM ^
Not watching - don't care about NFL enough to watch a game that doesn't involve/impact the Lions. Out for a date with the wife this afternoon/evening.
February 11th, 2024 at 1:57 PM ^
Chiefs 27-17. I'm making a roast in the crockpot with potatoes, celery, carrots, mushrooms, onions, and shallots. Just Mrs. Attack, the dogs, and I.
Watching the WM Phoenix Open til the game starts.
February 11th, 2024 at 2:18 PM ^
24-21 Chiefs.
No rooting interest. Don't really care.
February 11th, 2024 at 2:55 PM ^
Rooting for Mahomes wearing a "KelceHowMuchYouCanSaveOnHomeAndAutoInsurance" jersey. Blasting my Taylor Swift playlist on repeat throughout. Will put on closed captioning so I make sure I don't miss anything Romo has to say.
February 11th, 2024 at 3:04 PM ^
Somebody, not you Henson, got triggered (now I know the real definition of that word, thanks to that same thread) last week when I mentioned that I didn’t know any Taylor Swift songs. I asked the other night at the dinner table of all the kids if they knew any songs by her and the answer was “no “. Then one of them thought they might know one come, but they weren’t sure.
February 11th, 2024 at 3:16 PM ^
Yes, I was just laying my trap to see how many people I could piss off. But I really do like Mahomes, Swift, and Romo. Kelce is fine, but I think all of his commercials are exceptionally awful.
February 11th, 2024 at 3:50 PM ^
Why in hell would anybody give a shit if somebody else hasn’t heard any Taylor Swift?
I’ve never heard a single second of her music and have no interest in doing so.
That won’t keep me from rooting slightly for KC, but I think SF has the lucky horseshoe up its ass this year so Niners 26, Chiefs 24
Watching game with my 98-yr old FIL. Wife doesn’t give a shit about sports so she’ll probably watch the Puppy Bowl. Cooking some tenderloin tips for dinner, baked potatoes, and fresh spinach. Nothing fancy.
February 11th, 2024 at 4:56 PM ^
I don’t know any Taylor Swift songs either. In fact if not for my son going to Michigan, I’d be clueless about the The Killers and Mr Brightside as well, although I’ve grown pretty fond of it.
February 11th, 2024 at 4:38 PM ^
It's like you can see right into my nightmares, Henson!
Niners in a classic:
Mahomes leads a late rally to pull the Chiefs into a 23-23 tie, but Ronnie Bell - forced into duty by injury - rips off a long return to give the Niners good field position. A couple of McCaffrey runs & a quick out to Deebo stops the clock to get the Niners into range for a long FG attempt. Steely-eyed Michigan Man Jake Moody comes on to nail a 49-yarder as time expires - his 4th of the game. He is named SB MVP & flashes the 〽️ as he accepts his award!
Go Blue, Go Niners!
February 11th, 2024 at 2:57 PM ^
Kansas City is my AFC team because I have family there, so I’ll be rooting for them.
February 11th, 2024 at 3:06 PM ^
Hoping 49ers but don’t really care.
I’m watching for Taylor Swift, the ‘doink’ cam and Taylor watching Usher
Watching alone eating frozen pizza
February 11th, 2024 at 3:08 PM ^
It's better cooked!
February 11th, 2024 at 3:21 PM ^
Whoa, I’m not Rachel Ray.
February 11th, 2024 at 4:40 PM ^
But you won't really be alone, because Taylor is everywhere!
February 11th, 2024 at 3:09 PM ^
1/ 2. Chiefs 28 - 49ers 23.
Money Moody with 3 FGs. 49ers with the ball late, but can't get it in the end zone.
3. Friends are coming over, we are eating Pulled pork, loaded potato skins, and 7 layer dip. We will be having a few drinks as well.
Rooting for the 49ers because they have more 〽️🏈 players!
February 11th, 2024 at 3:23 PM ^
I haven't been all that enthusiastic about the game, but I was surprised to see KC as an underdog. I'm not sure if that's due to injuries for KC or because bettors really believe that SF has an edge.
I decided to put my money where my mouth is, opened an account online, and placed my first sports bets:
- $5 on KC getting 2 1/2 points (winning about $4.35 after the vig plus $200 in play money that I have to use within a week)
- $5 on SF giving 2 1/2 points (winning $4.76 after the vig)
So I'm risking 24 cents for a chance to play with $200.
I assume that if I bet on 10 events randomly at $20/each (NBA point spreads? NBA over/under?), I'll win between 3 and 7 of those bets and walk away with somewhere between $100 and $300.
In my heart of hearts (even though my approach to betting the game suggests I don't have one) I want both teams to lose. But Moody with a last second field goal to beat Kansas City -- by 1 or 2 points -- wouldn't be a bad outcome.
February 11th, 2024 at 4:20 PM ^
What you want to do is build 10 game parlays and get your odds to +500000 so that you can keep wagering 10 cents. Eventually one will hit and you'll win $500. 5,000 bets is the break even point. No flaws in this strategy.
February 11th, 2024 at 3:25 PM ^
30-24 49ers
February 11th, 2024 at 3:32 PM ^
It would be great if the score was 30-24. Or 42-27. Or 45-23.
Anyway, I think Mahomes finds a way, but I mostly watch the SB for the commercials.
February 11th, 2024 at 3:56 PM ^
1. Who wins?
Chiefs (hard to pick against them these days).
2. Score?
24-14
3. Are you doing anything for the game, party, cook-out, etc.?
I'm going to air fry some chicken nuggets and fries for my kids and make some buffalo dip for my wife (my dip is the bomb) but otherwise no. We would have liked to host, but our eldest had the flu this week and we aren't willing to endanger anyone else just to have some people over.
February 11th, 2024 at 4:14 PM ^
Watching from Tuscany using a VPN with Paramount+ with Apple TV and the small Airbnb TV.
February 11th, 2024 at 4:29 PM ^
28-25 San Fran
February 11th, 2024 at 4:30 PM ^
My prediction:
JFK Jr. and Elvis are going to make a triumphant return during the halftime show, descending from heaven and landing majestically on the 50 yard line. I have it on good authority this will happen!
Meanwhile, there are better odds (1:100,000) that an alien invasion will end the game in a tie than a score of two safeties and a field goal (1:500,000). What does Vegas know that they aren’t telling us? Wake up, sheeple!
