Bolts223 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 So my final thoughts before the Super Bowl tomorrow. Neither team is an overwhelming favorite in my eyes. I lean ever so slightly towards KC, but I think this is at best 55-45. I expect this to be a lower scoring game than most. I believe the Chiefs offense will be forced into a more efficient, short passing type of game like we saw vs Buffalo due to the banged up line and Mahomes turf-toe. Plus the Bucs D-line will make it hard to air it out a whole lot. I think what the Bucs do have going for them is that Brady/Arians are willing to be aggressive in the way you need to be when you face KC. That means not punting on 4th & 1 at midfield, settling for field goals at the 1-2 yard line, etc. A shootout clearly favors KC, but the Bucs are one of the few teams in the league with the weapons on offense to hold their own if it comes to that. I don't think it will be a shootout though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The last time Tampa Bay was in the big game against a AFC West opponent with a MVP type QB they routed their opponent. I'm going all in a Tompa Bay in this one. Tampa Bay wins 34-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been quite a few, not counting the obvious troll Not saying it can’t happen, but still crazy to me considering Mahomes has never lost by multiple possessions.

SkippyX Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I think we have admitted the absolute greatness of both of these QBs. Brady is easy, its been pounded into our brains for 20 years. He's like the terminator. He Will Not Stop until he gives you an entertaining Super Bowl. Mahomes is facing Brady and a very good D with a dangerous front with an O-line held together with bubble gum and duct tape and even Bucs fans think its still going to be close. (except for a very few of them) You don't think that unless you know that Mahomes is already an all-time great, even if we have only seen 3 years of him so far.

Ray Reed Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Id like to dedicate tonight’s game to the scores of “lmaooo no way the NFL finishes this season you plebes are you blind or just science deniers” peeps from the coronavirus thread this past August. You’ll be able to point them out - they’ll be the ones getting upset over this post and not grateful/excited that we actually did make it through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr A W Niloc Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The loss of LT Eric Fisher is worrisome but Andy Reid always finds a way to optimize his offensive linemen. Patience will be an issue. As one pundit said: Quote "Tampa won't run enough and K.C. won't run at all. At the risk of oversimplification, the 2020 Bucs are better at everything other than what is most important in a passing dual: winning, coaching, quarterbacking, and cornerbacking." It will be close but the Chiefs will likely win, thanks largely to TE Travis Kelce (of course) and one of the Safeties (probably Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu). If forced to choose I'd take the Over (57½) only because I expect a defensive (or special teams) touchdown or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceinthehouse Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I'll watch of course...but it's gonna be a blowout. As I've said before, Chiefs win by 20+ points. I have my theory. We'll see if it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatJaxxenGuy Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Toronto Star the Weeknd is doing the half time show. This will be the first time a Canadian has done the show since Shania Twain, during the 2003 game which was won by the Buccaneers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
