I was at the '94 Super Bowl, 49ers vs Chargers. Mike Shanahan was the OC for the Niners, and Ed McCaffrey was a bench-warming wide receiver for the Niners, before going on to have a pretty decent career with the Giants and Donkeys. We sat directly behind Shanahan's family, including his trophy wife and teenage son & daughter - that son being Kyle, who of course is now the 49ers coach. Trivia: The point spread for that game was shocking - you'll never see another SB spread like this, and probably not even in the regular season. 49ers were favored by 19.5 points, and covered easily, winning 49-26, and it wasn't that close.

To me this year's game should be a pick 'em. We'll see if/how the line irons out by game time, but the Niners continue to be favored by 2 - 2.5 points. One way or another it shapes up to be a great contest.
