The San Francisco 49ers may not be playing in Super Bowl 60, but with Santa Clara hosting the game at Levi's Stadium, Kyle Shanahan's team has been all over the place leading up to the matchup.

49ers linebacker Fred Warner is among those players who is keeping busy leading up to the big game, and before he serves as an analyst for NBC's pregame coverage, he appeared on the "Pardon My Take" podcast on Friday.

While talking about the upcoming battle between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, Warner had a hilarious prediction for the result.

"Yeah [I hate the Seahawks]. Yes [I want them to lose]," Warner said. "You can clip it however you want. However you want. Do I hate Seattle? Do I not want them to win? Any division rival, it could've bene the Cardinals, and I would've said the same thing, but you see a team twice a year and have the battles like you do - Patriots by 50. That's what I've said all week."

That's a very funny answer, and one that we've to come to expect from Warner doing these media appearances. However, he gave a his real assessment later on.

"I think the game will actually be a lot closer than people think," Warner said. 'I think people are already crowning Seattle to be the winners because of how loaded they are, and they very well could make it lopsided if the game gets away from the Patriots, if the moment's too big for Drake, and he ends up throwing two interceptions or they fumble a snap or something. It can snowball that way. But, the way that I hear Mike Vrabel being talked about, kind of in the same Belichick way, I'm not calling him Belichick, I'm just saying, in terms of prepping his guys for situational ball. If they can win some of those moments, where you look up at the end of game and they won on third down on offense and defense, they won the time-of-possession battle, they had the takeaway versus Seattle, they couldn't get the takeaway, that's what's going to give the Patriots the best chance to win the game."

San Francisco doesn't want to see Seattle hoist a Lombardi Trophy in their home stadium, so it shouldn't be surprising that Warner is pulling so hard for New England to win their seventh.
