Who are you taking for Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, Minnesota? Check in to see what some of Guam’s athletes are saying about the big game and who they’re taking to win it all!
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
"I want the Eagles to win. The whole NFL wants them to win. But if I had to bet all my money, I am picking The GOAT Tom Brady 10/10 times. I’ve got Pats by 2 Touchdowns," - Zach Banner: Cleveland Browns
"Do your job. Trust the Process. Take every play one at a time. This is the Patriot way. We don't have the strongest, biggest, or fastest players, but we have a team dedicated to a system that maximizes talent and mentally prepares us," - Joaquin Pangelinan: Guam Football
"No way you best against Tom 'Terrific'. I'm taking the Patriots," - Ray Chargualaf: Revolution Fitness
"Patriots! You can't go against one of the best quarterbacks ever!," Jin Han: Guam Basketball
"To be honest I don’t care for either team. I’m just hoping for a good game. But, for the sake of picking a team, I’d have to go with the Patriots. Belichick is a wizard of a coach. Plus I heard they have the referees on their side." - Bill Ada: Guam Football Legend
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
The Eagles, because I though they were going to get dragged by the Vikings, but ended up doing the dragging. It’s hard to bet against Brady. Everyone has their season, and it think it’s the Eagles time to hoist that trophy up," - Larry Ogunjobi: Cleveland Browns
"The Eagles win because of their defense! Plus, Tom Brady has 5 rings already, just give us one! It's time to bring the trophy to Philadelphia! The city, passionate fans (like me) deserve it!!" - Rey Serafico: JFK Islanders head coach
"Eagles are a complete team. If I was coaching, I would use the whole 1st quarter to smash Brady, just bring pressure to get to his body. Once they tag him he'll start breaking down," Ryan Rios: Chairman of the Board

"I don't make predictions, but I am hoping for an Eagles victory. Think it will be close. Guessing 24-20. Fly Eagles Fly!!!," - Chris Shepherd: IIAAG President
"I'm going Rams cause my son Masato has been a Rams fan since they moved from St. Louise. We watched all their documentary 'All or Nothing' and he's been hooked. He's a fan of Todd Gurley." - Mike Rabago: Guam Volleyball
"I’m going to go with the Philadelphia Eagles! I pick the Eagles solely for 2 reasons: it’ll be redemption from Super Bowl XXXIX and because I don’t want to chose the Brady Pack!" - Tricia Scott: Die Hard Giants Fan
