With Super LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Franciso 49ers finally here, former NFL running back OJ Simpson shared his prediction on X. Simpson thinks the 49ers will come out on top, 24-20, due to them having a more complete roster than the Chiefs.
“As far as the game goes, obviously my prediction, not hope, I’m basing it on who’s on the field," said Simpson. "I see a 24-20 win by the 49ers. That’s not hope. I’m basing that on the quality of the players on the football field."
"Who’s gonna be Super Bowl MVP? Purdy? McCaffrey? of course if KC wins it’ll probably be Mahomes. But I’m predicting number 19 and I’m not talking about Johnny Unitas.”

It'll be a rematch of a few years ago when both teams squared off on the same stage.
Brock Purdy, aka Mr. Irrelevant from last season, proved why last season was no fluke and that he is a quarterback capable of leading a team to a Super Bowl. He's gotten there with the help of star offensive weapons such as Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk.
The Chiefs started the year a bit rocky but found their groove down the stretch. Patrick Mahomes has proven again why he is one of the best quarterbacks in football and has led the team on offense with Travis Kelce and Isiah Pacheco.
Will Andy Reid add another Super Bowl victory or will Kyle Shanahan get his first as a head coach?
