I love watching the Niners lose on the biggest stage. I know there is a risk that the Niners could win but I love watching them lose and their winning percentage going to .500
History of teams that have faced each other in the regular season and then in the Super Bowl. The team that lost, has won 7 times the team that won in the regular season has won the Super Bowl 6 times.
Thirteen times.
The winner of the regular season matchup also won the Super Bowl rematch six times:
Giants over Patriots twice in 2011
49ers over Chargers twice in 1994
Giants over Broncos twice in 1986
Bears over Patriots twice in 1985
49ers over Bengals twice in 1981
Cowboys over Broncos twice in 1977
The other seven times, the regular season loser ended up as Super Bowl champs:
