Lorenzo Neal Reveals His Super Bowl Winner and Surprising MVP

Lorenzo Neal breaks down who he thinks will take home the Lombardi Trophy and MVP honors.

The Super Bowl is nearly upon us, and many pundits, players, and fans have all been picking their winner. While the usual picks consist of a simple formula of which team will take home the big win, a Super Bowl MVP must all be crowned. 

The usual case for Super Bowl MVP is generally the quarterback, but it's not uncommon for another skill player to be given that honor. Former Chargers running back Lorenzo Neal has chosen his MVP, and it's a surprising defensive player. 

"You say, how do you bet against Mahomes? How can you bet against him and Kelce? They are unbelievable. The best duo that we've ever seen. The Niners are favored by favored by -2. So the Niners have more weight. Everyone is saying 'Kansas City.' I just think that because everyone is on this and everyone believes it's Kansas City. Because your eyes tell you that is what it should be, I think it goes for the Niners. I think the Niners win this and yes let's give it to you know who, the other [Bosa] brother."

Neal is picking stalwart defensive end Nick Bosa to walk away with the Super Bowl MVP and be a big reason why the 49ers will come away with the win. 

This is an interesting pick. Everyone has seemingly forgotten about Bosa having a big game. He has 2 sacks in the postseason so far, but he will need to show up big to ensure that Mahomes has a rough day. 

The Chiefs have Chris Jones to terrorize Brock Purdy, but the 49ers have Bosa. Bosa also finished with 10.5 sacks on the season like Jones. 

We could be seeing a defensive battle in this game. Either way, get ready for some fireworks.
