Rob Gronkowski is one of the best tight ends there ever was in the NFL. And when he speaks about football, everybody pauses to listen. And that is especially true when the Super Bowl is just around the corner. So which team is Gronk backing to win the Vince Lombardi trophy this year?

The legendary tight end ripped the Philadelphia Eagles a new one for the NFC championship game. And he also made a bold Super Bowl prediction while he was at it.

Rob Gronkowski makes a prediction for Super Bowl LVII

Rob Gronkowski appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s ‘The Tonight Show’ to talk about everything football and beyond. And he talked about both the Eagles‘ and the Kansas City Chiefs‘ performances in the respective conference championship games.

“Oh man. Well first off, the Eagles got a get out of jail card for free yesterday. Everything went their way. I was at the game. I mean I’m not saying they didn’t deserve it; they definitely dominated the number one defense in the league. And they dominated the Giants the week before. I am sorry I know we’re in New York. And Kansas City, they did enough. They’re always scrambling, they always get the job done. They always do. You know Patrick Mahomes always rolling around the pocket, Travis is always open. They just get it done, they always do,” Gronkowski told Fallon.

The four-time Super Bowl champion then made a bold prediction about the upcoming Super Bowl LVII clash between Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. And he gave his reason for picking one team over the other.

“I’d say, Philadelphia has been playing more like a team throughout the whole season. I’m gonna go with the Eagles,” Gronkowski said of the Super Bowl winner.

Both teams had contrasting days on the field on Sunday. But in the end, both are where they want to be.

The Niners lost both their QBs to injuries in the game. Brock Purdy went out due to a UCL tear in the first quarter and his backup Josh Johnson had a concussion. With the Niners without a QB to throw a pass, the Eagles’ defense easily contained their offense and won 31-7.

The Chiefs and the Bengals went toe-to-toe till the end and the home team won it with a very late field goal from Harrison Butker. Gronk is siding with the Eagles to win the Super Bowl on February 12. Will they prove him right?
