Super Bowl Picks- Montana’s elected leaders chime in with their guess

Super Bowl 57 is just a few days away and currently the Philadelphia Eagles are favored by 1.5 points over the Kansas City Chiefs.  The game can be heard on sports radio station 99.9 Big Sky Sports on the FM dial. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 pm MST with pre-game leading up, lasting several hours.

I conducted a very in-depth survey that included many different angles to consider on who is going to win.  In other words, I asked

Who is going to win and what is the score going to be

Here is what I learned:

Elected Officials

Governor Gianforte- Well, whoever the Eagles are playing, they don't stand a chance. I think it'll be tighter than their playoff game with the 49’rs. I know our Eagles fly, Eagles fly. They'll run up the score if they can. I grew up near Valley Forge, which is just west of Philadelphia. My guess would be 28-17 Eagles.

Senator Daines- I’m a proud Montana State Bobcat, so I’m taking the Kansas City Chiefs because Jan Stenerud, who went to MSU, brought soccer-style kicking to the NFL and went on to become the first kicker in the NFL Hall of Fame. When it comes to Montana natives who went on to do great things, I’ve learned you always go with your heart instead of your head! That’s the Montana spirit! Chiefs! Mark it down!

Congressman Rosendale- I'm going to take 27 24, Eagles victory. Although I like Kansas City steaks better than Philly Cheese Steak, I'm going to have beef on Sunday regardless. I will tell tell you that my wife prepares a better cheese steak than any restaurant that I've ever been in.

Baker Bob- Philadelphia 28-17 Kansas City

Randy- Philadelphia 35-31 Kansas City- I have to stick with the NFC East as a lifelong Cowboys fan.  Plus that, Dallas beat Philly once this year, so an Eagles victory, means the Cowboys are almost co-Super Bowl Champs.
