Super Bowl LVIII will feature a showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 11, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The 49ers (14-5) are the No. 1-seeded team out of the NFC, and the Chiefs (14-6) are the No. 3 seed out of the AFC, as well as the defending Super Bowl champions.

Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m., and the game will be broadcast on CBS.

Below are predictions on who will win the big game from the head coaches and two standout players of five different area high school varsity football teams.

FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL

Head Coach Lamont Hill

1.) Who is your pick to win Super Bowl LVIII?

Kansas City

2.) Why do you think that team will win?

The defense for Kansas City has stepped up its level of play in the postseason. The offensive line will determine the game, establishing the run will be key for the Chiefs.

3.) What do you predict to be the final score?

Chiefs 27, 49ers 10

Senior WR/DB Chaevon Torrance

1.) Who is your pick to win Super Bowl LVIII?

KC

2.) Why do you think that team will win?

Because Patrick Mahomes is too dynamic of a player and will be able to make plays with both his feet and his arm giving KC the edge.

3.) What do you predict to be the final score?

Chiefs 24, 49ers 21

Senior WR Kaden Bailey

1.) Who is your pick to win Super Bowl LVIII?

KC

2.) Why do you think that team will win?

Patrick Mahomes hasn’t lost to many opposing QBs, and if Purdy is to win, he is going to have to make some big plays for his team to be successful.

Chiefs 34, 49ers 24

Junior WR/PR Steven McClenny

Kansas City Chiefs

I believe the Kansas City Chiefs will clinch the 2024 Super Bowl due to their exceptional team chemistry, strategic coaching and the unmatched skill of key players like Patrick Mahomes, creating a winning formula that sets them apart from the competition.
