Let's talk about the Super Bowl !
Unless I'm missing something, no one has started a SB thread.
Predictions, anyone?

Lol, I have to agree with you.
shareI like Brady. He played at U of Michigan and had to platoon with another top athlete, iirc. And was a relatively late pick in the draft, so he just seemed to have that Joe Montana will-to-win and manage the game properly.
I'm a little surprised I don't DISLIKE him since he left a beautiful woman who had his son yet somehow felt he needed an upgrade to a super model. But I never looked into his personal life too much and can't help but admire what he has accomplished. If he was a woman we might refer to his life as a Fairy Tale.
He was a backup to Drew Bledsoe for one year until Bledsoe got hurt. He was never a top tier player in college or seen that way in the draft thus he was taken in the 6th round. I think that's the most remarkable aspect of his career. The fact that he was able to develop into the best QB of all time under the right tutelage. Just imagine if he was drafted by the Lions, Browns, or Bengals? He would have been a three and out.
shareFor a while I knew some people who thought the Lions ruined Joey Harrington's career.
shareOh, we were chatting about it after the championship games - but it has died down since then.
It should be a great game. I want KC to win, but I think the Buc's have a very good chance for an upset.
What concerns me is I think the Chiefs are clearly the better team but what's the chance of REPEATING as SB champs?
Plus it's Tom Terrific. I never hear people talk about having a cannon arm or his perfect spirals but objectively he seems to be the GOAT.
Without looking exactly at the record, I think he's LOST more SBs than most players have even been to.
I'm not a Brady fan, but he is less annoying in TB than NE. I'm not sure that I think KC is the better team, but they do have Kelce, who is better than Gronk, and Mahomes who is younger and more athletic than Brady who is far more experienced than Mahomes. I think the Buc's D is better and may be the key to winning as it was two weeks ago.
Bottom line - pretty evenly matched teams and it will all boil down to who makes the most mistakes.
I'm glad you said this. I used to follow the NFL a lot closer and currently don't even get ESPN and I work on Sundays, so I'm not as on top of things as I imagine. I just figured as the current champs making it back, they've gotta be favored and Mahomes is a really exciting player in the Russell Wilson mold.
Pretty sure they have the better record as well, but if it's close, might make for a great game.
Bucs 27 Chiefs 24
shareSounds like a last minute field goal.
I caught the end of the GB/TB game and I thought the Pack might steal it away. Was fun to watch
I'll probably miss most of the SB, though, at least the first half, for sure.
Starts at 3:30 my time and I won't be home until 6:30-7:00.
"Mattress Mack" has placed a $3.46M bet on Tampa.
shareNo idea who this person might be but we'll see.
shareGuy in Florida who owns mattress stores. Buy a sleep number mattress from him and if the Buc's win, the mattress is free.
shareDepends on the Chiefs I think. If they bring their A game they win, if they don't Tampa could come out on top. I think Mahomes and crew are ultimately unstoppable so Chiefs by 7 to 14 points.
shareThis is closer to what I was thinking, but will admit I haven't watched either team consistently this year.
As an ex-Lion, N Suh kinda pisses me off, but if he gets a ring outta this, I suppose he'll have earned it.
I really don't want to see Brady win another championship. Would be nice to see Mahomes dethrone the old king.
shareI'm on the fence. I think what Brady has done is incredible, and if he can add to it, even better.
But Mahomes and the Chiefs are a deserving bunch as well. Haven't heard anything scandalous about them and they are in the heart of America in a way, so either way, I can live with the result.
