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.

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

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.

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.

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.
