Super Bowl LIV prop bets, predictions and everything you need for Chiefs vs. 49ers

The two weeks of hype for the showdown at Hard Rock Stadium in South Florida are grinding to a halt.

So, who do you got in Super Bowl LIV?

Will the Kansas City Chiefs -- appearing in their first Super Bowl in 50 years -- recapture glory behind their Jedi Knight quarterback, Patrick Mahomes?

Or, will the San Francisco 49ers collect an NFL record-tying sixth Lombardi Trophy?

Our panel of NFL experts have made their Super Bowl predictions. And it's nearly split down the middle.

And don't forget about the prop bets. So. Many. Prop bets.

Will it be heads or tails? How long will the national anthem last? WHO WILL WIN THE PUPPY BOWL?!?

Before kickoff on Super Sunday, fans will find out the final five members of the 20-person 2020 Pro Football Hall of Fame class, and which players earned the league's most prestigious awards (MVP, defensive player of the year, the top rookie awards, the Walter Payton Man of the Year) at NFL Honors on Saturday night. (Oh, and, of course, the Puppy Bowl!)
