A crowd gathered to witness this epic event at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Sports radio personality Mike Greenberg hosted the proceedings. "Today is an amazing day," said Greenberg. "It's rare to see three awesome things come together like this, but today we get to witness a puppy, a monkey and a baby make their predictions for Super Bowl 50.  The rest of America will see 'puppymonkeybaby' in action during the first quarter of Sunday's game."

Greenberg was flanked by star NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall and all-pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald. "I'm pumped to be here on behalf of Mtn Dew Kickstart," said Marshall. "DEW is a combination of three awesome things that really match the energy of the Super Bowl."  Donald agreed, saying "I can't think of a bolder moment than watching a puppy, a monkey and a baby make Super Bowl predictions." 

The final predictions were:

Puppy: NFC

Monkey: AFC

Baby: NFC

Fans of the NFL and Mtn Dew will have to watch Super Bowl 50 this weekend to find out which of the predictions turn out to be true.
