SUPER BOWL LX:
Los Angeles Rams - 56, Kansas City Chiefs - 52

Why the Los Angeles Rams vs. the Kansas City Chiefs for Super Bowl LX?

Many NFL fans consider the Monday Night Football game that took place on November 19, 2018 betwen the Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs the greatest NFL regular season game that ever took place. The game broke several NFL records, including highest scoring Monday Night Football game, the 3rd highest scoring NFL game period, the first time 2 NFL teams both scored over 50 points, the most points for a losing team, the most passing touchdowns, over a thousand combined yards of total offense, the most points scored by defense, and 6 lead changes, with 4 of the in the 4th quarter. If this was a great regular season game, wouldn't this be an epic Super Bowl? That's what I'm predicting! Granted, a lot has changed between the 2 teams since the match-up in 2018. The biggest change is that Jared Goff left for the Lions, and the Rams picked up Matthew Stafford in exchange. To me, this is an upgrade. I'm predicting both Matthew Stafford and Patrick Mahomes will throw 6 touchdown passes, but each will also throw 1 pick-six as well. Another big change is the loss of Cooper Kupp but also the gain Devantae Adams. Overall, I consider this a downgrade, but the deadly duo of Adams and Nacua provides plenty of weapons for Stafford. Expect each wide receiver to regularly receive for over 100 yards, including this Super Bowl. Meanwhile, on the other side, the Kansas City Chiefs, despite always receiving one of the last draft picks for the past couple years, manage to somehow get a steal. This regular rotation of young talent keeps Mahomes fresh, as well as setting him up to be next G.O.A.T. to follow in Brady's steps. The only problem, however, as demonstrated at the Super Bowl, is the lack of putting up a fight against the top teams, like the NFC champions. That's why I'm predicting the Chiefs will go to their 4th consecutive Super Bowl, only to lose their 2nd consecutive Super Bowl. The Chiefs will score a field goal on the opening drive of the Super Bowl, but after that, it will be the 2 teams alternating touchdowns. Matthew Stafford will become the Super Bowl MVP for the 2nd time, and then retire.
