The Super Bowl

[parabrave]

Can't believe this is the 1st prediction thread but anyhow Who do you pick?
1. Who are you rooting for to win?
2. Who do you think will win and why?

Myself I'm hoping for the Chiefs to win. I can still see Otis Taylor catching that pass and running for the touchdown.
Unfortunately I believe the 49ers will win in a defensive battle reminiscent of the boring Dolphins Vikings SB. Bosa and the other 49er dline will not let Mahomes out of the pocket where he makes a lot of his plays. The 49er D backfield is also pretty dam good. On offense Garoppolo will do just enough and not F up. Hope I'm wrong and KC blows them out.

[msbulldog]

I remember the first Superbowl! I'm pulling for KC, because of that, I'm usually a NFC fan.

[KOdawg1]

Least I've cared about a Super Bowl in years. I'll root for KC I guess for Chris Jones

[Big4Dawg]

1. KC. Chiefs fan. Live in KC
2. Chiefs by 10+. RPOs kill the 49ers. Go look at their games vs. running qbs (Wilson and Murray).

Think it's just good QBs, period... Drew Brees destroyed them. I expect Mahomes to put up big numbers

[Huntsville Dawg]

I'm going with KC. I hope Chris Jones wrecks them with 4 sacks and causes a couple of turnovers.

Same....I really don?t get all into the NFL... I pull for the Cowboys because of Dak and have followed the Saints since I was a kid... when I was 12 or so (1979-1980)I could write out the whole Saints Roster... but I couldn?t name 10 players now...

[Dawgface]

I really don't care who wins but will watch. Since it's been 50 years for KC's last SB appearance I will pull for them.

I think that the malaise towards this SB is nation wide. I'd rather watch the finals of the Australian Open.

Why the hate for this SB? I don't get it. Both teams easy to like. Mahomes is the best player in the nfl

[klong-dog]

I'm for the Chiefs but I think the 49ers win. 38-27

back in the day when I gave a 17 about the NFL, I always pulled for the NFC too since I've always liked The Boys and The Saints. Back then, the NFC was so dominant over the AFC.

But I'm a Chief's fan today. Can't pull at all for the 69'ers.

It's not the hate but this game just doesn't excite most people. Well except for the gamblers. The sports betting at some of the Coast Casinos was heavy last night.

[Vandownbytheriver]

This one is right there with the Bucs vs Raiders Super Bowl for me. I have no real vested interest so I'll go with the Chris Jones State link and hatred for Richard Sherman factors. Go Chiefs.

The 69 chiefs team had one of the best defenses in the history of the NFL. Their D line was monstrous for the time with Buck Buchanan, Curly Culp, Jerry Mays and Arron Brown. Heck their LBs were as big as some of the Lineman. Their offense was one of the most innovative up to that point of football history. Problem was that they played in the AFL. There is a series on youtube about the history of the AFL. I encourage you to watch it as it is very informative of the AFL history and how that league changed the landscape of how the game was played and televised but how it also changed the game socially. And yes every kids football team wanted to huddle like the Chiefs after that SB just like we wore white shoes after SBIII..

Offense wins games.

Defense wins championships.

High powered AFC West Offensive Juggernaut vs. Staunch Defensive NFC West Team with a secondary captained by Richard Sherman.

I'll take the Defense every time until proven otherwise. It's always the difference.

[Mobile Bay]

Patrick Mahomes played in school for Kliff Kingsbury

Kliff Kingsbury played for Mike Leach

Therefore the Chiefs are the preferred team.

KC defense has been pretty damn good down the stretch.

[DownwardDawg]

Wow. Sitting in a tree stand. Completely forgot it was SB Sunday. Times have changed.

[RocketDawg]

Both singers did an outstanding job.

Colorguard had all 6 uniformed services represented - including the Space Force apparently.

[RocketDawg]

If interested, the game is in 4K on Dish Hopper 3 Channel 540.

Don't know about DirecTV or other sources.

[OLJWales]

That off sides penalty against the Chiefs on SF's field goal drive confuses the hell out of me. It looked liked he jumped back behind the LOS before the snap. What am I missing here?

Crap. I don't get 540 but I have the top 250. Dish cut my local tv off so I'm trying to watch on a computer. Suuucks!!

[OLJWales]

Looks like we are in for a good game thus far.

[OLJWales]

Heavy Pressure by State's Chris Jones results in a Pick for KC. Go Chiefs!

[OLJWales]

ESPN Game Tracker about 5 seconds ahead of the T.V.

[OLJWales]

Hope they go for it here

[OLJWales]

Gotta kick a fish goal here.

[RocketDawg]

Actually, 4K appears to only be some of the commercials, not the game.

Can you get it over the air from your local Fox station?

Don't have an antenna. Tried through my smart tv. It gives me a local channels option that loaded the other day. Slow as hell today and loads previously recorded stuff even though it says "watch live tv". Who knows. Just a bad time for dish to be renegotiating a new contract with local channels. And I'm sure they are holding the super bowl over dish's head.

[OLJWales]

Pulling for the Chiefs but that looked like a BS call against the 69ers at the end of the half.

I think it was ok. Even though it was subtle, it was effective enough to create separation and an advantage for the offensive player. The first little shove would have been a good no call but not the second. JMO though

[99jc]

Dang Shakeria and Jlo both still hot as hell.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Would not have sex with either.

[Todd4State]

This feels like the game is going to come down to who has the ball last. We'll see how the second half goes.

[OLJWales]

Would not have sex with either.

Coming out of the closet is usually the best thing. I'm sure you feel relived .

[OLJWales]

damn, sack and INT has ESPN going from 51% KC to 65% San Fran.

[NCDawg]

All of San Francisco players look like they are in great condition. No fat boys on their team.

[OLJWales]

what a turn of events. Great Game.

[Todd4State]

Terrible job of coaching by Kyle Shanahan again. Complete choke job.

28-10 in 3rd and 20-10 under 11!!!!! Lol

[RougeDawg]

Chris Jones was a beast. Can?t wait for he?s inducted in Canton and I can tell his story.

[FriarsPoint]

Tonight gives me more hope than ever about Leach’s system at MSU. KC runs as close to Leach’s system as anything you’ll see in the NFL. Having a generational QB doesn’t hurt. But, you were able to see what it can do at the highest level.........without the best D in football.

[Skydawg1]

Why the HELL is honey badger getting so much post game facetime? (currently on FS1) Didn't do shit. The better get CJ up on that stage.

Nothing else needs to be said. And the thing is everyone could see it coming both times.

He's headed to Oxford right now.**

I know you joke but as Paul Harvey would say, the rest of the story is coming after the break.

Just got back from a party with a bunch of pissed of Gamblers. Man they were ready to string Shanahan up in the 4th when he quit running the ball. 3 and out and a shitty punt. And on the last possession he didn't even call a time out. Anyway. I predicted that the 49ers defense would bottle up Mahomes which they did for the game except for 4 huge plays and I am glad the chiefs won. Oh yeah Great game by Chris Jones.

[Skydawg1]

Oh yeah Great game by Chris Jones.National media is all over his big game.***

[parabrave]

It was nice seeing Richard Sherman getting his jock left on the ground. And the best Commercial which happened to be the only one worth remembering was the Doritos one with Sam Elliott.

That's why I don't gamble. Shanahan did a bad job right before the half to start with. He basically let 40 seconds needlessly run off the clock with I think all or most of his timeouts left. Clock runs out after the offensive PI basically but he still had enough time where it shouldn't have come down to that and at least kicked a field goal which would have put them up 13-10 going into halftime with momentum and also getting the ball back. Best case scenario they get a TD right before the half. Instead it's tied. Fourth quarter instead of running the ball he passed the ball way too much and completely forgot about Deebo Samuel running the ball from the WR/slot position which was so effective earlier in the game and would have given them diversity while at the same time running the clock. And it looked to me like he was trying long developing pass plays when KC was obviously blitzing because they were down and our very own Chris Jones was taking over the game instead of calling short quick passes or screens that probably would have worked and run clock.

[Todd4State]

National media is all over his big game.***

Of course that's mostly because of the position he plays and most of the media are people like Skip Bayless that have no clue what they are watching.

They'll probably blame Jimmy G for throwing the ball into Chris Jones hands knowing them.**

[OLJWales]

I hope Leach was watching how SF blew that game. Unfortunately he's blown a few in similar fashion on several occasions throughout his career.

Good synopsis.
