Super Bowl Sunday always turns into a great day with the bizarre events that happen around the big game. Some random predictions:
There will be an onside kick

It won’t carry the shock factor or drama of Thomas Morstead’s onside kick to open the second half of Super Bowl XLI when the Saints surprised the Colts, but at some point a team will attempt an onside kick in Super Bowl LIV.
Montana will be shown as Chief and Niner
This is a lock. There has to be a mention of the quarterbacks who played for both teams and it is only natural at some point, during the marathon pregame show and actual game, broadcast images of Joe Montana will be shown in both the 49ers and Chiefs uniform.
Lovato will go under with the anthem
The game won’t have kicked off and there will be prop bets. There is the coin toss and how long it will take Demi Lovato to complete the national anthem: Take your pick: Over 2:01 (-175) | Under 2:01 (+135). Loving the over because Lovato sang the national anthem at the Mayweather vs McGregor fight and that rendition was about 2:10.
WWE Superstars will be showcased
Given FOX has the rights to SmackDown one has to believe at least one member of the roster will appear in the stands at Hard Rock Stadium. We’d love to see Bray Wyatt in his “Fiend” character apparel try and get to his seat given the level of security that will be at the venue.
We can only hope Rob Lowe appears
After his viral performance at the NFC Championship Game, America can only hope Rob Lowe and his perfect cap appear at Super Bowl LIV.
ARod will make an appearance or too many
Given the connection between FOX and Alex Rodriguez and the former slugger’s tie to halftime performer Jennifer Lopez, it is only a question of how many times he will be shown. Will we get to see ARod dance to his fiancee’s performance? It’s a safe bet.
Buck and Aikman will be brilliant
FOX’s broadcast team is spectacular every week and will take it up a notch or three for Super Bowl LIV. The best broadcast tandem in the business is a smooth, easy listen. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman know when to turn it up and never force the action. Lucky to have them call any big game.
