Super Bowl Sunday: I’m going with KC. Who ya’ll got?
The
Super Bowl is this Sunday and despite not having a dog in this fight -I’m a New
York Jets fan, I never have a dog in the Super Bowl fight- I want to make a
pick. I mean, what’s the big game without having a team to root for, even if
it’s just for one night.
The
Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers are scheduled to meet in Miami for
the national Football League championship and to be honest, I’ve only seen both
teams play a combined five times this season. The majority of that film study
being during the playoffs. I have no idea who should, could or will win this
game and that is precisely why I think it will be a really good Super Bowl when
all is said and done.
The
Chiefs are high-scoring; in fact, they are the highest scoring offense in the
National Football League. The 49ers have the league’s best defense. Something
has to give. Neither franchise, though both are very decorated in their own
right, has won a Super Bowl in quite some time. San Francisco won their last
championship in 1995. Kansas City was last successful in Super IV, in 1970.
Sunday’s game is the 54th edition of the country’s most watched singular
sporting event. It’s been 50 years since the Chiefs won it all. 50 years.
My
selection? Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I’m going with the Chiefs for a number of
reasons. One, I like Eric Bieniemy as an offensive coordinator and play-caller.
I also would like to see Patrick Mahomes win a Super Bowl. He has a long career
ahead of him and a title this early would put him among the all-time greats.
The same could be said for Niners quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Nevertheless I’m
taking the Chiefs by a score of 35-21.
Happy
Super Bowl Sunday
