Ben’s Ten #2 - Super Bowl 59

SUPER BOWL 59 🏈

Well, the big day is almost upon us, and although it may be the Super Bowl no one wanted, it’s the one we’ve got. I’ve always found the American gambling markets hilarious given just how specific and unique they can be. So, here are ten of my predictions, in chronological order, for the 2022 rematch.

1️⃣ National Anthem Length: Under⏳

The line is set at 123.5 seconds. That’s a very long time—give me the under.

2️⃣ The fabled coin toss: Tails
It’s 50/50 right?

3️⃣ Kendrick Lamar first song: “m.A.A.d city”🔥
I can promise you he will not open with “Not Like Us”. I’m hoping for a classic.

4️⃣ Winner: Eagles 🦅
This is a tough one because they’re both amazing teams. The Chiefs are chasing history while the Eagles are desperate for redemption. Maybe I’m delusional, maybe I’m embracing my semester abroad at Penn State, but give me the Eagles.

5️⃣ Game score: 23-20 🔒
Defence wins championships and both are rock solid. I can only see it being a low-scoring game.

6️⃣ Gatorade colour poured on coach: Yellow🟨
It’s the colour Philly had when they won in 2018, and it’s the Gatorade staple.

7️⃣ MVP: Jalen Hurts
No brainer: give me the tusher, not the pusher.

8️⃣ Unexpected GOAT: Grant Calcaterra 👀
This bloke has been HIM recently. I could see him getting a clutch TD.

9️⃣ Unexpected WOAT: DeVonta Smith💀
There’s been too much media this week about his track record of great performances against the Chiefs—it’s begging for a stinker.

🔟 Random prediction: Over 2.5 “GOATs” 🐐🐐🐐
ChatGPT has set the line for the amount of times “GOAT” will be used during the broadcast at 2.5. Brady, Mahomes, and Taylor Swift all in the same place… I’m slamming the overs.

Realistically, all I ask for is a good game… and to win my Beer Pong championship 🍻. Enjoy!
