The two-time Super Bowl winner is backing his former team.

Two-time Super Bowl winning running back LeSean McCoy says he is going to but a huge bet on the Kansas City Chiefs winning Super Bowl LVIII.

McCoy was part of the Chiefs team of 2019 which won Super Bowl LIV against the same franchise they will face this year - the San Francisco 49ers.

And speaking on the Up & Adams Show , the 35-year-old said he will put his money where his mouth is when it comes to his prediction.

"I'm going to say the same thing I've been telling everyone for the last three weeks," said McCoy.

"The Bills should have beaten the Chiefs, the Ravens should have beaten the Chiefs and the 49ers should beat the Chiefs - they are all better teams.

"But, you would never bet against Tom Brady and Bill Belichick in that era, and in this era you never bet against Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.

"I'm putting $100,000 on it! The last three Super Bowls, I've hit!"

'Shady' will be in for a nice pay-day if his selection comes in, as the Chiefs are currently the slight outsiders to win in Las Vegas next week.
