Last-Minute Super Bowl LVIII Predictions

At this point, the Super Bowl LVIII pre-game show is in it’s 85th hour of coverage – despite beginning this morning – and discussing what the backup linebackers took as electives in college and how those courses helped them reach this point.

Kickoff is just around the corner. If you were planning to order pizza, or other food, stop reading this post and do it right now. Then come back.

By now, if you’re not following the “order early” mantra on Super Bowl Sunday, then what are you doing with your life!?

Anyway, as the title of this post suggested, here are some of my last-minute Super Bowl LVIII predictions.

And by “predictions” I mean I’m just throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks. These are just for fun. The only things I thought about for longer than 10 seconds were the winner and score.

Winner: Kansas City Chiefs

Final Score: 31-23

Halftime Score: Chiefs 14; 49ers 13

First Score: Jake Moody 39-yard field goal

Coin Flip: Heads

Halftime Performance: Taylor Swift will be shown dancing no less than three times, since it’s probably in one of Usher’s contracts that Swift must be shown enjoying his music.

Andy Reid has been cooking up new goal line plays for the last two weeks and we will see at least two of them result in touchdowns.

Kyle Shanahan will pull down the microphone on his headset, while he rips into a referee on the sideline.

Andy Reid will throw a challenge flag in the first half.

Brock Purdy will make a Mahomesian play and the broadcast will show Mahomes watching it on the big screen.

Travis Kelce will point up to Swift’s private box at some point.

Leo Chenal will intercept a Purdy pass.

Christian McCaffrey gets in the end zone and flexes.

A 49ers fan (probably a child) will shown in the stands absolutely balling their eyes out.

The broadcast touts how many cameras are in the stadium, yet there will be a play that is ruled a catch – even though it hit the ground – and the offensive team will rush up to the line and get the snap off before anyone can review it.

After the referees “decided” last year’s Super Bowl in the 4th quarter, they put their whistles away this year, for the most part.

A punt will almost be blocked.

Something will happen in the stands that goes viral before the game ends.

The head coaches will take a long time finding each other at midfield to shake hands after the game because of the slew of media storming the field. (Maybe this is more of a given, than a prediction.)

I thought I’d have more predictions, but the clock is ticking. That’s all I got!

I’m going to eat now.

Enjoy the game and let me know in the comments who you thinking is winning tonight, as well as any other obscure predictions you have!
