Recorder announces 15th Super Football Pick'em contest

Will the Kansas City Chiefs be­come the first National Football League team in history to land a Super Bowl “three-peat,” or will the Philadelphia Eagles avenge their loss to the Chiefs two years ago in the NFL championship game?

That question will be answered when the Chiefs and the Eagles clash in Super Bowl LIX, to be played Sunday, Feb. 9 — and local football fans are encouraged to make their predictions for the final score in The Holton Recorder’s 15th-annual Super Football Pick­’em Contest.

The Recorder and other area businesses are sponsoring the an­nual Super Football Pick’em Con­test, with the top prize to be award­ed to the person who correctly pre­dicts, or predicts closest to, the fi­nal score of the big game and the winner. This year’s top prize is a 43-inch smart TV, the largest such prize to be awarded in the contest’s his­tory.

This year’s NFL championship game will be a rematch of Super Bowl LVII, in which the Chiefs mounted a fourth-quarter come­back against the Eagles and won 38-35. The Feb. 9 championship game will be played at Caesars Su­perdome in New Orleans, La. — the eighth time the game has been played in that venue — with kick­-off scheduled for 5:30 p.m. local time.
