2024 Super Bowl expert pick: Chiefs secure third title in five years, pull out double-digit win over 49ers

LAS VEGAS — The Super Bowl is being played in Las Vegas for the first time ever, and I can already say this is the best idea the NFL has ever had. Sin City, as we all know, is the debauchery capital of the world and as the unofficial debauchery correspondent here at CBS Sports, my bosses decided it would be a good idea to send me to Vegas this week. I didn’t argue. 

Being in Vegas means I’ll be around if something crazy happens, and there’s a 90 percent chance something crazy will happen, because this is Vegas. Vegas is so crazy that I’m 90% sure that the movie “The Hangover” is based on a true story. 

What I’m trying to say here is that what happens in Vegas this week definitely won’t be staying in Vegas and that’s mostly because I’ll be sharing everything I see on social media (feel free to start following me on Twitter or Instagram if you want to follow along).

On a somewhat related note, If this pick sounds like an incoherent mess, that’s because I’m writing it at 3:30 a.m. in between hands of blackjack at the Bellagio. My dealer says I should pick the 49ers. 

So will I actually listen to my dealer? 

Let’s get to the pick and find out.

Actually, before we get to the pick, here’s a quick reminder to check out the Super Bowl picks from all of our other CBS Sports NFL writers, which you can do by clicking here.
