After a strange NFL season which brought us mostly empty stadiums, game postponements and many covid tests we have reached Super Bowl LV. As strange as this season was, as it was played through a pandemic it is remarkable that we have gotten to the end of the season on time with just a few hiccups and postponements along the way. A somewhat bigger crowd will be on hand for the big game, I don’t know if that will make a difference either way. For some teams the offseason has already begun with Matthew Stafford and Jarett Goff switching teams, for the start of a busy offseason where we could see major quarterback movement.
Super Bowl LV
On Sunday the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will become the first team ever to host a Super Bowl, as they meet the Kansas City Chiefs. This is a neutral site game, with limited fans. Tampa beat a Packer team which had their opportunities but failed to get it done. Kansas City beat a young Bills team which had their moments this season but got out matched in the Championship Game. We now have “The Goat” vs “The Kid”, Tom Brady was drafted the year Patrick Mahomes was born. The Chiefs have a lot of weapons with Mahomes, Kelcie and Hill among others. The key to this game will be can the Bucs get enough pressure with their front four and be able to drop enough guys into coverage. Tom Brady has brought magic in the past and if the Bucs can keep it close maybe he can do it again. Brady is aging and his magic has to come to an end at some point, right. The Chefs are just to good and will go and will go back to back. I’ll take the Chiefs (-3) to win SBLV, 31-24
