Super Bowl LIX is just around the corner, with the Kansas City Chiefs aiming to make NFL history by becoming the first team to win three consecutive Lombardi Trophies. However, to achieve this remarkable feat, they’ll have to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles once again, after a thrilling 38-35 victory over them in Super Bowl LVII just two seasons ago.
With the big game less than a week away, predictions have started to roll in from former players, analysts, and coaches. One former star who has been particularly vocal is four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski.
Gronkowski made an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” this week, where they revisited his last two Super Bowl predictions — both of which were against the Chiefs. This time, however, Gronk isn't making the same mistake.
He doubled down on his prediction from “The Today Show”, announcing that he’s backing Kansas City to win and even revealed his score prediction for the upcoming showdown.
"Well, I will not go against the Chiefs for a third time in a row, so I'm picking the Kansas City Chiefs, 30, and the Philadelphia Eagles, 26." Gronkowski predicted.
Gronkowski is certainly well-acquainted with what it takes to reach the Super Bowl and come out victorious, having been part of a dynasty with the New England Patriots alongside Tom Brady for over a decade.

Now, Kansas City stands on the verge of capturing their fourth title in six seasons and their third straight, which would undeniably place them in the conversation as one of the greatest dynasties in the history of the sport, and the closest thing to the Patriots that we've seen over the last two decades.
A victory in New Orleans would also mark quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ fourth Lombardi Trophy before the age of 30, making him one of only four quarterbacks to have won four or more Super Bowls in their career.
