Mahomes-led Chiefs will put up the points in SB victory
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have been lighting up scoreboards all season long, and don’t expect that to change this evening in Super Bowl 54 (I am not good at Roman numerals and too lazy to look it up) with the Chiefs piling up the points. Kansas City came from 24-down to defeat Houston, 51-31, in its divisional round playoff game and trailed, 17-7, with 6:39 to go in the second quarter before rallying past Tennessee, 35-24, in the AFC Championship Game. The Chiefs have proven in the playoffs that once they get going, it is hard to stop them. Mahomes has also been the leading rusher for Kansas City in the playoffs, and he has a plethora of offensive weapons to choose from. My apologies to all the San Francisco fans out there. The 49ers have a strong defense that is led by rookie Nick Bosa. Jimmy Garoppolo had a solid season, but his numbers are nowhere near Mahomes’ but he does have limited weapons. San Francisco had an easier run to the Super Bowl with victories over Minnesota (27-10) and Green Bay (37-20). The tight ends for both teams — Kansas CityÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Travis Kelce and San FranciscoÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ George Kittle — are the receiving leaders for both teams and should be a threat. Expect a high-scoring game, but I am usually not any good at picking the Super Bowl, so don’t count on me. I did put my money on the Chiefs. Kansas City 35, San Francisco 31. Mahomes wins the MVP.
