Reddit user on 16-year Super Bowl losing streak gives pick for Chiefs-49ers
The Super Bowl 58 kiss of death has been planted
Any reasonable bettor can pick a straight up Super Bowl winner. It’s difficult, but it can be done with regularity. What takes much more talent is picking a loser. And it takes a true genius mind to pick a loser 16 years in a row.
One Reddit user has done just that. Each year the Super Bowl comes around, U/im_THIS_guy provides their pick to lift the Lombardi Trophy between the two finalists and each year they are incredibly wrong.
If you’re looking for someone to fade this Sunday, im_This_guy is that guy. So who’s is the (un)lucky team they think will win Super Bowl 58?
The Kansas City Chiefs.
Why, oh why, are the 49ers favorites? I kept scratching my head all week trying to figure out what the catch was. Was Vegas laying out the biggest trap bet in history? Well, it turns out that Vegas’s hand has been forced. They took a lot of futures bets last year on the 49ers winning the Super Bowl. They stood to lose a lot of money on the 49ers. The only way to hedge that risk was to get everyone betting on the Chiefs. And the best way to do that was to make them the underdogs.
So, here we are. The favorite is the underdog and the underdog is the favorite. This spread isn’t real, it’s all business. Vegas wants you to bet on the Chiefs and they want you to win. It’s a Christmas miracle. The stars have aligned and Vegas has issued the easiest win you’ll ever get.
I predict that the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS will win the Super Bowl.
Don’t overthink this. The better team will win. The Chiefs are an absolute machine in the playoffs. I’ve bet against them twice in the Super Bowl in the past and, to quote The Who, I won’t get fooled again.
Congrats to everyone who bet on the San Francisco 49ers on cashing their tickets early.
