Super Bowl 57 picks: Titans Wire staff predictions for the Big Game

The official end of the 2022 NFL season is finally upon as with Super Bowl LVII, which will take place on Sunday, Feb. 12, between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.

Titans fans do have some rooting interest in this game, as three former players are on the two Super Bowl rosters.

On the Chiefs, it’s practice squad defensive back Ugo Amadi, who is also a Tennessee native. On Philly, it’s punter Brett Kern and wide receiver A.J. Brown.

Of course, there are plenty of mixed feelings about Brown winning a title after everything that happened following his trade, but fans are almost unanimous in wanting to see Kern get a ring.

So, which former Titans will walk out of Sunday’s contest a Super Bowl champion? Our staff makes its picks and predictions for the Big Game.

Eagles defensive front proves to be too much for the Chiefs, forcing a key turnover late in the game. A.J. Brown goes for over 100 yards and a touchdown en route to collecting his first Super Bowl.

I was originally in the camp of not wanting to see A.J. Brown win a title after what went down here, but my stance has softened over time. Making it easier to swallow is the fact that franchise legend Brett Kern would win one, also.

I’m all in on the Eagles here, and not just because of Kern and Brown. I truly believe they are the best team in the NFL this year and will win this game over the Chiefs in what will be a Super Bowl to remember.

Final score: Eagles 27, Chiefs 24

It feels like they’re on a similar run to the one they went on in 2017 where they were essentially the best team in football all year long. I believe they will finish the job once again as A.J. Brown and Brett Kern end the weekend as Super Bowl champions.

Final score: Eagles 27, Chiefs 24
