Lady A's Hillary Scott, like everyone else, is looking forward to Super Bowl Sunday, and she's particularly excited about the quarterbacks. She told us, “As fun as it is to watch the Super Bowl when you’ve got veterans in the quarterback seat, I think that it’s really exciting to have a younger class of QBs leading their teams. So, I think that’s the thing that I’m excited to watch, and I’m goin’ for the Bengals. I’m callin’ it."

The mother of twin girls added, "I just remembered, [L.A. Rams quarterback Matt] Stafford is a twin dad. He has daughters, he has twin daughters. So, that would be the only reason I’d be like inchin’ my way towards the Rams, cause I know we can relate (laugh).”

Lady A's Charles Kelley is pulling for L.A. He told us, “You know, Dave and I are Georgia boys, and Stafford was the quarterback at Georgia. So, I don’t know, it just feels like it’s just kind of in the energy. You know, you’ve got the Braves, you’ve got the Bulldogs, and it just feels like Stafford‘s gonna kinda continue that Georgia momentum happening. So, that’s who I’m rootin’ for. It’s a little bittersweet. The Titans, it just felt like something was in the air. I think we’re gonna have a great team moving forward. But yeah, I’d have to say the Rams.”
