Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
We finally made it to Friday, and Super Bowl Sunday is inching closer. Are you rooting for the Chiefs or Eagles? Most Floridians have made their choice clear—well, at least when you look at their betting. According to Hard Rock Bet, the majority of wagers are on the Chiefs to win in 55 of Florida's 67 counties, including Hillsborough. Only time will tell if that historic three-peat is in the cards for Kansas City.
