The Kansas City Chiefs are about to start a journey to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls, while many others believe this is the year the San Francisco 49ers finally get over the hump or the Houston Texans or Cincinnati Bengals make the leap and snag their franchise’s first title.
Mike Tannenbaum had a different controversial opinion about who is going to win the Super Bowl.
Tannenbaum appeared on a recent episode of First Take and when asked about who he thinks is winning the Super Bowl, he said “This one’s easy, it’s the Green Bay Packers” and added that they’re young and deep and loaded with talent on offense, also pointing out how the defense should be improved as well.

Tannenbaum likes the Packers over the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game with the Packers taking down the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
The rest of the panel was taken aback by Tannenbaum’s choice, but he was confident in his selection and fully believes in this young roster.
Green Bay was a surprise last season and went 9-8 en route to demolishing the Dallas Cowboys in the Divisional Round of the playoffs before falling just short in San Francisco with a trip to the NFC Championship on the line.
This offseason, the Packers didn’t make a ton of moves, but they did bring in offensive line help in the draft and locked Jordan Love up with a long-term extension.
It’s a bold take, but mild takes don’t move the needle.
