Expectation is building with each days that passes as we draw closer to Sunday’s Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles meet again, in a repeat of Super Bowl LVII in 2022.

On that occasion, the Chiefs ran out 38–35 winners and Andy Reid’s men head into this weekend’s matchup as favorites at -130 with the Eagles at +110.

Gronk going with the Chiefs: here’s his prediction

Former Tampa Bay Bucs tight end and four-time Super Bowl winner Rob Gronkowski also expects the Chiefs to prevail in New Orleans.

He gave his prediction on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: “I will not go against the Chiefs for a third time in a row so the Kansas City Chiefs 30, the Philadelphia Eagles 26″.

Gronk got it wrong in the last two Super Bowls, predicting wins for the Eagles and the 49ers. He believes that the Chiefs will win for the third year running simply because Mahomes has Vic Fangio’s number. The Eagles defensive coordinator is 0-8 against the Kansas City quarterback.

“Well, Patrick Mahomes has faced this defensive coordinator eight times in his career and he has beaten him all eight times,” he told the Today Show last week. “I don’t think this defensive coordinator is going to get over the hump versus Patrick Mahomes. He’s too experienced. Patrick Mahomes knows what to do in every single situation.”

Gronk was quick to acknowledge that his predictions usually backfire: “For all you Philly fans out there, you should be happy about that pick because obviously I’m wrong every single year!
