Puppy Bowl prediction: Team Fluff to win (-155)

Team Ruff won last year's Super Bowl, spoiling Team Fluff's three-peat bid. I expect the former two-time champs to bounce back. This is a culture of winning, and last year's loss will be unacceptable in that locker room.

While we need to pay a premium for the -155 betting favorites, I'm in full agreement with the oddsmakers on this one.

"The Tonight Show" hosted several Puppy Bowl participants on Thursday's show and had the puppies choose the Super Bowl 59 winner between the Chiefs and Eagles based on which food dish was emptied first.

The puppies resoundingly chose the Chiefs:
