The game and event everybody is watching. Can the 49ers, one of the strongest teams since 2019, finally hoist the SB Lombardi Trophy, avenging the SB loss in early 2020, by beating the Chiefs, or will KC go full circle, winning back-to-back championships against the team they first beat in 2020 and a chance to win their third world championship in five seasons?

I bet and won with KC against SF in 2020, I will bet on SF winning today, though Mahomes and Reid are trying to make history.
A SB victory today, could help some players towards a HOF career.
A great game is what the public deserves and the officials will probably let the players play, at least until the closing minutes.

With many great players in this game, the play of guys out of nowhere, or marginal players could be the difference. Every SB champion and even teams that lose close games, have had unsung heros, and today will be no different.

Possible break-out game performers ...

SF -- Jauan Jennings
KC -- Jerick McKinnon

I am also hoping to be proven wrong on ONE of two "theories"--
There wont be another NFL back-to-back champion ...
The owners dont like the Yorks and wont let them hoist the Lombardi Trophy ...
I know I sound crazy but something has to give ... haha

Got no dog in this fight, though I suppose I should be rooting against SF.

I think Mahones pulls off a winning drive in last minute. KC 34, SF 31.

I'm also prepared for Kelce to propose to Taylor Swift at halftime. Or maybe she'll pull the ol' switcheroo and leave the stadium on Purdy's arm. Let's watch and see, kids!

Haha ... In the wives box suffering from jet lag, Swift will be holding a sign saying VOTE BIDEN ... at least thats what conspiracy theorists think ...*

*Disclaimer ... these are things I have actually read, by no means endorsed or advocated by me, who has never had faith in the American voting and political processes ... haha

I have enough respect for this San Fran team, but I want KC to win only if for SF to not tie the 'Burgh at six! But, either way, I still think KC will win outright and would bet on them if I were placing wagers. It'll be real competitive. KC wins it in the very end and - even if his stats aren't through-the-roof, even if it's a little debatable he deserving it but because he's...the QB - Patrick wins the MVP. I'd bet on that as well if I were betting.

That's about it for predictions. Over/under (47.5)? If you forced me to guess - I'd say the under.

What a stage for Brock Purdy! Could go from Irrelevant to Household Name to Champion! Can he duplicate a Tom Brady success story tonight?

Huge Plays

Chenal forcing fumble of McCaffrey during SF drive.

Huge Plays

Another forced fumble in the game from Lenoir on Pacheco during KC drive, after the rookie Moody hits a 55 yrd FG.
Both teams showing nerves, which makes sense.
Greenlaw injured ...

Johnny Unitas - drafted in the NINTH round. Started SB V. Sheesh.

10-3 at the half! Final score 24-3?

Just, this time, a Griese involved will be on the WINNING end this time! Lol.

Bart Starr ... 16th round?
