Kansas City Chiefs
The AFC champions are making their third appearance in the last four years. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been the engine of this run, though this year the Chiefs' defense has been just as key in this run. Of course, the Chiefs also claim Taylor Swift's boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce.
San Francisco 49ers
The NFC champions had to stage a dramatic comeback to beat Detroit and qualify for this game, which followed a dominating regular season. Quarterback Brock Purdy, the last pick in 2022, hasn't had a great postseason, but he's been good enough to lead the 49ers this far.
Super Bowl odds 2024
San Francisco is a 2-point favorite. With an over-under of 47.5, they are supposed to win along the lines of 25-23. The 49ers are -130 on the money line, while the Chiefs are +110.
Super Bowl LVIII halftime show
Usher will headline this year's halftime show.
Previous halftime shows
Some of the biggest gigs in show business have included Michael Jackson, Prince's memorable performance in 2007, and Elvis Presto's card trick in 1989, which was part of "Be Bop Bamboozled in 3-D." Here is a list of every show.
Will Taylor Swift be there?
Tune in and find out. She will have time to take her private jet back from Tokyo, where she has a concert on Saturday. Gaining 17 hours of time zone certainly helps.
Gambling markets are taking bets on how often she'll be shown on the TV, so yes, she's expected to be at the game.
