Bad bets: Think you know what Taylor Swift will do at the Super Bowl? Wanna bet?

5 bold predictions for the Super Bowl

It's a shootout

Both teams are known for their defense, but the 49ers have an explosive offense and Patrick Mahomes is figuring things out. This game goes over.

Both defenses struggle to stop the run

Christian McCaffrey is one of the best running backs in recent history, so there's little doubt he'll find running room, even against a good KC defense. If McCaffrey is the best running back in the game right now, former Rutgers star Isiah Pacheco isn't far behind. He'll give San Francisco a lot of problems.

Commercials will be great

Some years the commercials are great, other years they're not. After snooping around for spoilers, we think this year will be a winner.

Taylor Swift is overhyped

Due to her popularity, CBS will show her a few times during the game, but it won't be overwhelming. According to Crossingbroad.com, Swifties got 44 seconds of their hero during the NFC Championship game. Even if that triples for the Super Bowl, it's a little over two minutes of a four-hour broadcast. Just get up and get more pizza and beer if she annoys you. That's what I'll be doing, and I have nothing against her! I just like pizza more.

Chiefs win

The 49ers are favored. The Chiefs have Mahomes. Unless he's playing Tom Brady, never go against Mahomes in the Super Bowl until he gives you a reason to. How's 34-31 sound?

What is on after the Super Bowl?

Every year, they try to throw a new show at us, and this year is no different. "Tracker," the story of a "lone wolf survivalist who roams the country, helping solve all manner of mysteries" airs at 10 p.m. on CBS. It stars Justin Hartley, Fiona Rene, Robin Weigert and Abby McEnany.

Of course, if you watch the four-hour pre-game show and the four-hour Super Bowl, you might just want to go to bed.
