The Super Bowl is tonight

Michigan has several representatives in the Super Bowl tonight, and if you’re rooting based on Michigan ties, the Kansas City Chiefs are your team:

  • DE Taco Charlton (reserve/injured)
  • DE Frank Clark
  • DE Mike Danna
  • QB Chad Henne
  • OG Patrick Omameh (practice squad)

If you’re rooting for the GOAT, Tom Brady, then here are your fellow Wolverines:

  • QB Tom Brady
  • P Matt Wile (practice squad)

Either way, tonight is going to be a good night for at least a couple wearers of the Maize and Blue.

What’s your prediction?

I’ll say 34-27, Chiefs.
