They will get their asses handed to them.
Cheetah's can accelerate 0-60 faster than most supercars. |

I vote they starve the cheetah for a few days before hand. I'm willing to bet that would add a few extra MPH onto those NFL players' top speed.

Top speed of over 60mph, yeah they don't stand a chance.
Should have checked to see if the FBI was able to get any information about cheetahs and used it to research it before they decided to go forward with that idea... FBI Offering $1 Million Reward For Any Information On Cheetahs |

It'll probably be some bullshit Top Gear thing, where the cheetah not only has to run the quarter mile, but also do it inside a giant hamster wheel while skydiving.

You're all forgetting a Cheetah can only run at that speed for about 90seconds... So they could outdistance the cheetah when the Cheetah must stop and rest after that exertion. Besides the damn cheetah is more inbred than Kentucky Hill Folk.
Think Tortoise (Humans) vs Hare (Cheetah). The Cheetah will start out way ahead but soon run out of gas. The humans can keep going for longer. Pronghorn Antelope vs Humans would be a better challenge. |

I can see the over excited host now explaining after the race what just happens.
"You see, we knew that a cheetah would blow any human, or any bipedal animal for that matter, right out of the water in a foot race, but we just had to test it. To be fair though, if the cheetah was only using two of its four legs the competitors may have stood a chance. Here is a CGI rendering of what that may have looked like" Than the instant replay 40 fucking times before the commercial. |

Of course the cheetah will win, & i'm sure they know that. Either way, i think that's a pretty cool thing to do. I'll watch it.

I would still be willing to be that over the course of a mile, or even a few miles the cheetah would still smoke most humans without having to try very hard. Over 50 miles, we would probably win. Our ability to sweat and just keep moving is what helped our ancestors run down game. |

Call me when they sign a cheetah as a receiver.
(And yes, they'll lose. Things are designed to accelerate and are quadrupedal.) |

Pound for pound a cheetah's acceleration power is about four times that of Usain Bolt.
Hunting speed is about 58mph (burst speeds up to 70mph) and can sustain over the average prey chase 3.5 miles. From a standing start the Cheetah can reach 45 mph (20 m/s) in 2 seconds. Cheetah running captured in slo-mo HD: Cheetah at full throttle Notice how the head is almost motionless while the entire body works in flawless unison. If the big cat can be inspired to run it will look like a Ferrari F50 up against two mopeds. |
