“Pick ‘Em or Kick ‘Em”™: FGT VS. Urban Sports Scene Super Bowl LIX Picks

February 7, 2025

By the Football Garbage Time Staff

If you followed last year, you won over 60% of your picks, and we aim to do even better this year.

And if you’ve been following us, you know that we here at Football Garbage Time have gone head-to-head against Wally, Will and Ray at Urban Sports Scene on our NFL Picks for the last 7 seasons. Why? Because they’re awesome competitors, they KNOW their sports, and, heck, they’re just good guys! This year we’ll have their picks up right HERE, so keep it tuned in, to both us and them, because we’ll be picking all season all long.

Without further to do, here we go:

Ha Kung Wong’s Pick

Philadelphia Eagles

Ha Kung’s Thoughts:

After a 64.7% record three seasons ago, and 63.3% (178-103) two seasons ago, I ended up with 63.4% (180-104) last season. So that’s nine years in a row with over a 60% pick rate. I also had 85% right for Locks of the Week (17-3) and 42.1% for Upsets of the Week (8-11), so not only did I beat my 2022 percentages for both Locks and Upsets, but I have nine years in a row of Locks being over 70%.

I had a coin flip Conference Championship, going 1-1 leaving me at 195-89 for the season (68.8%). I end the season 16-3 for Locks of the Week and 8-10 for Upsets of the Week.

George’s Pick

Philadelphia Eagles

George’s Thoughts:

Taking Philadelphia to beat Kansas City. There’s two things I can’t get out of my mind.
The first is something one of my friends said that is absolutely true. If you want to stop a dynasty in the NFL who do you call. The NFC East. The 49ers of the late 90s, the Bills of the early 90s, the Patriots in the Brady/Belichick era. Who stopped them all? NFC Eastern Division teams that’s who?

And then the second thing is what an An Eagles fan I follow was talking about the roster upgrades they had made since the last Super Bowl matchup with the Chiefs. Their biggest upgrades came in the two areas where Philadelphia needed it most. At running back and in the secondary. Miles Sanders to Saquon Barkley says it all. Quinyon Mitchell from James Bradberry is gigantic.

And in the end Jalen Hurts has just played one of his best games in the NFC title game and I think he can replicate something similar against the Chiefs. And because of Barkley, Hurts doesn’t need to have the game he had in the last SB matchup with KC.

So it’s Philly to get their second SB title (now I will go vomit)
