The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles go head to head for the championship in New Orleans Tonight. Kickoff is two and a half hours away. Kendrick Lamar headlines the halftime show. President Trump will be at the game, something no sitting president has ever done before, and when it comes to the wagers, it's not just the outcome. You can bet on this. WBCs Ema Friedman explains.
This year Base eight sports betters can put their money on the coin toss, and Mario's getting in on the action.
Yes, I have, actually, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'm not sure which yeah, yeah, I think so, but I'm not sure which platform we're going to use.
So the Massachusetts Gaming Commission says sports betting companies can offer wagers on whether the coin toss is heads or tails, who wins it, the Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles, whether the coin toss winner wins the game, and if the visiting team correctly calls it. Joey tells me he's keeping his money in his wallet and says his sports betting days are in the past.
No, no more betting. Did it for a little bit when once those legalized, but no, we're staying away from that.
Just enjoying the game in Summerville. I'm a freedman. WBZ Boston's news radio. In the four day, WBZ ACU Weather Forecast. Watch out if you're on the roads tonight or tomorrow morning.

latest on the system as it develops. Right now in Boston, it's thirty two degrees and mostly cloudy at four oh five. Hopefully you're bundled up out there. It feels like the upper twenties in Boston. Someone that wbz's Lorie Kirby ran into in the middle of the storm in Hull earlier shows us what not to.
Do, covered many many a storm, But I've never seen a woman in a bikini in the snow.
Turned the fon in a bikini at Nantasket Beach. Why the heck are you in a bikini, Karen?
Nature's medicine, building grit and resiliency, doing hard things.
You gotta show up for yourself. And you went in the water today. Absolutely do miss a day. How did it feel? Feels like you're alive.
You get a choice, you don't have to, you get to you make those choices. Aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort. The more comfortable you get, the more you age. So I'm challenging myself. If you don't challenge yourself, you don't change. You gotta do hard things.
Okay, I think should change out of the bikini from Hull, Lori Kirby, WBZ, Boston's News.
Radio gearing up for celebrations marking the Revolutionary Wars semi quincentennial. It was nearly two hundred and fifty years ago. History was changed. With a climb up a steeple in the North End.
On the night of April eighteenth, seventeen seventy five, Robert Newman and Captain John Pulling Junior hung two lanterns at the top of Old North Steeple, telling midnight riders that the British were coming by sea. But that was the easy part.
As they're making their way down the steeple, there are British regulars that are already at the front door, you know, I believe, like knocking and jostling and trying to get in.
That's Old North Illuminated Executive director Nikki Stewart. Old North Illuminated has lots of events planned mark the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, including giving its third lantern ward to legendary documentarian Ken Burns. Stewart says it's the perfect time for locals to check out the history in their backyard.
So many people tell me, oh, you work at Old North that's great. I went there in grade and like, this person may have gray hair when they tell me that. So I know that local folks don't take as much advantage of the sites along the Freedom Trail as they could.
