LAS VEGAS — The Super Bowl is being held in Las Vegas for the first time ever, and I can already tell you that this is the best idea that the NFL has ever had. Las Vegas, as we all know, is the debauchery capital of the world and as the unofficial debauchery correspondent here at CBS Sports, my bosses decided it would be a good idea to send me to Vegas this week. I didn’t argue.
The one thing about being in Vegas is that it means I’ll be around if something crazy happens, and there’s a 90 percent chance something crazy will happen, because this is Vegas. Vegas is so crazy that I’m 90% sure that the movie “The Hangover” is based on a true story.
I think what I’m trying to say here is that what happens in Vegas this week definitely won’t be staying in Vegas and that’s mostly because I’ll be sharing everything I see on social media (feel free to start following me on Twitter or Instagram if you want to follow along).
If I see Patrick Mahomes getting a burger at Shake Shack at 3:30 a.m. PT, I’ll be sure to let everyone know. Also, if I see that, I’ll probably pick against the Chiefs because you can’t trust a quarterback who’s eating burgers at 3:30 a.m. just days before the Super Bowl.
On a somewhat related note, If this pick sounds like an incoherent mess, that’s because I’m writing it at 3:30 a.m. in between hands of blackjack at the Bellagio. My dealer says I should pick the 49ers.
So will I actually listen to my dealer?
Let’s get to the pick and find out.
Actually, before we get to the pick, here’s a quick reminder to check out the Super Bowl picks from all of our other CBS Sports NFL writers, which you can do by clicking here. If that’s not enough Super Bowl content for you, then I recommend clicking here and checking out the Pick Six podcast on YouTube. Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and I are spending the week together in Sin City and we’ll be putting out new podcasts every day, which means you get more of me, which I have to think is a good thing.
My plan is to leave Vegas without any regrets, so let’s hope I don’t regret my pick.

If Kyle Shanahan has nightmares every day this week, you can’t really blame him and that’s mostly because no one…
