Did Steve Miller Band predict upcoming 49ers-Patriots Super Bowl in 1976?

Sometimes sports feel like they've been scripted, pre-ordained by some higher power.

If you believe in such things, the 2019 NFL season could be just the one for you. No, I'm not talking about any sort of religious higher power.

I'm talking about Steve Miller Band, of course.

Confused? I am, too, but hang with me.
