Locker room bragging rights will be on the line for Corey Lemonier and Nick Moody when the Auburn Tigers play the Florida State Seminoles in Monday night's BCS National Championship game.
It's a big deal for San Francisco's third- and sixth-round draft picks. Both 49ers rookies have already been sharing playful jabs with each other about the big game for their respective schools. It will surely continue throughout the game.
Niners 365 reached out to both linebackers to get their game predictions and MVP picks.
Here's what ensued.

Moody wasn't pleased.
"@CoreyL55: @TaylorPrice49 @Moody54TMB auburn 47-FSU 3 ...MVP -everybody" thought it was supposed to be a realistic prediction.... — Nick Moody (@Moody54TMB) January 6, 2014
Lemonier offered his reasoning.
@Moody54TMB @TaylorPrice49 I'm trying to be realistic. You don't want me to go over the top — Corey Lemonier (@CoreyL55) January 6, 2014
Both players will surely continue the back-and-forth. As for Moody, he already has his gameday attire planned out.
