The Larson Loudspeaker

“Who’s going to win the Super Bowl?” A common question asked of many of us around this time of year. Each of us have our own favorite team or who we think will win. Quite possibly you may be like my mom and ask: “What color are the uniforms?” Your choices this year are the San Francisco 49ers (red, gold and white) and the Baltimore Ravens (black and purple). Who do you think will win the Super Bowl on Sunday? Final Score? What is your favorite sport?

Mr. Larson: The San Francisco 49ers will win. I don’t particularly care for either team playing in the Super Bowl, but a friend of the family who used to live near San Francisco has been a big 49ers fan for many years, and I’d like to see his team win. The final score will be 28-20. Football is not my favorite sport. My favorite sport to play is basketball, but I love to watch baseball.

Douglas Anderson: The Ravens are going to win. They will win 49-18. I like to play baseball.

Nathan Carstensen: I think the Baltimore Ravens are going to beat the 49ers. I think the score will be 35 to 28. I want the Ravens to win because Ray Lewis is retiring, and I think it would be awesome if he won on his retiring year. I want to see his touchdown dance. I think he is the best Baltimore Raven, and I really hope they win. I don't like the 49ers because they are a rival to the Seahawks. The Seahawks are my favorite team.

Drew Hardung: I think the Ravens will win the Super Bowl, and I hope they win because Ray Lewis is retiring this year and that would be pretty special. I think the score will be 58-42.

Daeton Deife: I think the Baltimore Ravens are going to win. We might go to Nathan’s house for the Super Bowl. I think the score will be 37-21. I do not like the 49ers quarterback Kapernick. The Ravens are going to kick San Francisco’s butt. That’s who I think will win.

Kaedin Schorzman: I think the 49ers will win, because they are good and strong. I think the score will be 30 to 27. If the 49ers win, I will be very happy, and they will be happy, too. I want to have the Ravens lose because I don’t like that team at all. The 49ers are very good at playing, and it is going to be fun. It will be fun to watch the Super Bowl.

Nicklas Nelson: I think the 49ers will win. I think the score is going to be 28-21. I’m going to Joe and Gina’s house. I like both teams. I’m a fan of football. I like football because my favorite team is the Seattle Seahawks. I like them because they’ve been winning a lot this year. We thought they would win, but they didn’t win.

Chloe Winkler: I think the 49ers will win. I am going to have a lot of people at my house watching the Super Bowl. We will probably have a BBQ. I think the score will be 43-37. I don’t know very much about football, but what I do know is my dad loves football a lot. He is going to do the smoker the day before. I like to eat hamburgers and hot dogs, too.

Nathan Melcher: I think that the 49ers win because they beat the Atlanta Falcons. I think the score will be 22-20. I do not always watch the Super Bowl, but this time I am going to win the prize.

Tori Schlomer: I think the 49ers are going to win because they have good runners. I think the score will be 30-28. I might watch it at my mom’s. I don’t know yet. I love the 49ers. The food I like to eat at game-watching are popcorn and hamburgers. They are good football foods. They are nummy.

Emily Scrupps: I think the Ravens will win the Super Bowl. I think the score will be 35-27. I will have a big party type of thing. My mom and dad will be the hosts. We will have lots of food and drinks. The people we know that are coming are the Martins. It will be fun. Go Ravens!!

Tianna Gies: I think the Ravens are going to win because they have two of my favorite colors. I think I’m going to watch it at my house. I am not really a fan of football. We might have chips and salsa and have a BBQ. I think the score is going to be 32 to 20.

Charleigh Cornett: I think the Baltimore Ravens will win. I’m not the biggest football fan, but my mom is. My brother used to play football. I think the final score is going to be 28-16. I’m not going anywhere to go watch the game. My favorite sport is basketball.

Laney Lee: I think the Ravens will win because they have the same colors as us. I bet you that Odessa is pretty good at football. I think it’s going to be 20-15. Who do you think is going to win the Super Bowl?

Bradly Singer: I think the 49ers will win. I talked with my dad yesterday, and it will be a great game. We will watch it at our house. My grandma might come over. We will serve chips and salsa. We will have cheese and bread. My mom will make some dip. It is good. The 49ers will win 49-30.
