Super Bowl 58: Saquon Barkley makes prediction for 49ers vs. Chiefs

With the Super Bowl just around the corner, predictions for the big game are starting to pour in.

The Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers in a match-up of two powerhouse teams. Both sides boast superstar players and a history of success in the NFL's championship, so calling a winner may be tricky.

However, that's not stopping New York Giants star Saquon Barkley from giving his two cents, and he's backing the NFC team to go all the way — with a caveat.

"If I was a betting man, I don't think I'd bet against Patrick Mahomes [and the Chiefs], especially the way that defence is playing, Barkley told ESPN's First Take.

"But I'm biased. I'm a big Christian McCaffrey fan. I hate to say this [but] he's the best running back in the NFL right now. So I'm gonna go with San Fran."

Barkley is a two-time Pro Bowl running back, so it must've been humbling to endorse McCaffrey as the best in the league at that position.
