Though Terence Crawford‘s home team, Green Bay Packers, did not make it to the Super Bowl, he was rooting for the San Francisco 49ers to make the finals. However, it seems he already knew they would not make the cup and City Chiefs would swoop the win.
The Kansas City Chiefs rallied to defeat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime, securing their third Super Bowl victory in five years. Despite the 49ers being the slight favorites, the game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas saw them twice on the verge of winning. A late field goal by the Chiefs tied the game 19-19, leading to overtime, where Mahomes’ touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman sealed the win, solidifying the Chiefs’ dynasty. But how did Terence Crawford know this would happen?

NFL fans were quick to accuse the league of rigging Super Bowl LVIII as the Kansas City Chiefs clinched their third Lombardi Trophy. Travis Kelce, expressing ambitions for a three-peat, declared the goal during his podium speech. Later, he shared a celebratory moment with his girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, on the field, embracing and exchanging whispers as they kissed. According to Crawford, the “talk” about the popstar before the fight made the prediction easier.

Taking to his X account, ‘Bud’ said, “We all knew KC was gone win because all they was talking about was Talor Swift. Idk why yall was playing like yall didn’t know this was KC year.” He mocked the fans for pretending to not know the obvious and that it was the KC year. This might come as a shock, considering he placed his bets on the 49ers not long ago.
