I’ll post as well in the more active thread: Some crazy facts I’ll post about the narrative for the Lions winning the scripted Super Bowl.
Every other major sport just had teams winning their first championship in franchise history. MLB, NHL, NBA. Rangers, Golden Knights, Nuggets. Unbelievably low odds for a bunch of teams that never win to all win at the same time. Two of those being “gold” themed teams like the 49’ers. The last “championship” (before the Super Bowl) for the Lions was 1957. That was the last time they won a playoff game on the road which was against none other than the 49’ers.
The 16’s… Jared Goff #16 has the same birthday as Usher, the Super Bowl halftime performer. Usher is 16 years older. If the Lions win the Super Bowl they will have 16 wins on the season, 16 years after going 0-16. Giving the state of Michigan a national title and Super Bowl in the same season. Up 21-7 with the ball.
If it is Lions Chiefs in the bowl, I will likely hedge my +700 Chiefs pick to some degree to get guaranteed money no matter the outcome.
