It’s Super Bowl week and football fans couldn’t feel more excited. On Sunday, February 13, the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals will face off with the Vince Lombardi trophy on the line.

As expected, the NFL community is trying to predict who will get the upper hand and claim the ultimate glory. Everyone has their reason to go with Matthew Stafford and company or, on the contrary, support Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

Many people, however, seem to believe that ā€˜The Simpsonsā€˜ have predicted Sunday’s result. Although that’s not true, the famous show did include a scene in which Homer Simpson suggested what football team he supports.

The alleged Super Bowl prediction of ā€˜The Simpsons’ quickly became a hot topic on Twitter, but the show never actually made the supposed prediction. Instead, it was a scene of the episode ā€œHomer and Ned’s Hail Mary Passā€, aired on Feb. 6, 2005, which led fans to believe that.

When Homer is approached to take part in the Super Bowl halftime show, he shows a tattoo on his belly that reads ā€œGo Bengals,ā€ which social media took as a signof who Sunday’s winner will be – but the episode never indicated that.
