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.

SUPER BOWL LIX:
Los Angeles Rams - 31, Pittsburgh Steelers - 19

Why the Los Angeles Rams vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers for Super Bowl LIX?

Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers in no way should have made the playoffs. They almost split the year in even thirds with all 3 quarterbacks who made the roster, yet they still made the playoffs. The Steelers were smart enough to know that none of these 3 quarterbacks could bring them back to the playoffs the next year, so they cleaned house, releasing all 3 quarterbacks (surprised the New England Patriots did not do the same). Now all 3 of those quarterbacks are now backups for 3 other teams. Instead, the Steelers picked up old veteran Russell Wilson and young veteran Justin Fields. They felt so confident in these 2 that they didn't even bother to draft a quarterback (now that the New England Patriots did - twice!). Just like Mike Tomlin's brilliance somehow got the Steelers to the playoffs, Mike Tomlin's genius must see talent left in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields after their disastrous play last year. If Mike Tomlin can make the playoffs with those 3 quarterbacks last year, I can see Mike Tomlin making the Super Bowl with Russell Wilson starting and Justin Fields backing. Last year, it looked the Los Angeles Rams season would end in disaster again with another playoff miss, but midway through the season, the Rams unlocked the secret, hidden talent of rookie Puka Nacua. Fortunately, it was early enough to clinch a playoff spot, but unfortunately, it was too late to make a playoff run. Now that Matthew Stafford has the duel threat of Cooper Kupp, it will be hard for defenders to know who to cover, meaning one is bound to be wide open. With a powerhouse passer and powerhouse receivers, the Rams will put up yards rivaling the Greatest Show on Turf, which will clinch a Super Bowl berth. The Super Bowl will go to the Rams. They will consistantly score a touchdown each quarter, throwing in a field goal in a random quarter. The Steelers, on the other hand, will be slow to pick up speed, with field goals in the first half and touchdowns in the second half. Too many 4th quarter mistakes, including a failed 2-point conversion, will result in the Steelers handing the Super Bowl to the Rams.

SUPER BOWL LVIII:
Los Angeles Rams - 23, Tennessee Titans - 16

Why the Los Angeles Rams vs. the Tennessee Titans for Super Bowl LVIII?

Last year, coming off of the Super Bowl LVI championship, the Rams looked like they could easily repeat their Super Bowl run. They should have at least clinched a playoff birth and won a playoff game. It would not be so. Opening the season, nationally televised, against another playoff team, put too much pressure on the team too early, which resulted in a humiliating loss. It seemed like this rough start would follow the Rams throughout the season. Many star starters suffered from injuries, and those who managed to stay healthy still somehow underperformed. For example, Cooper Cupp, who earned the "triple crown" of receiving the previous season, didn't crack the top 5 in any of the categories the next season. Because of the injured players, the underperforming players, and the bad attitude players, the Rams finished 5-12, definitely not playoff worthy. Now that the Rams have fully restored to full health, and now that they have gotten rid of the bad players, from the underperforming players to bad attitude players, the Rams can easily return to Super Bowl strength and stamina. The Tennessee Titans had a similar fall from grace. TheRushy went from the 12-5 team who got the no. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs in 2021 to the 7-10 team that missed playoff qualification 2022. Probably the biggest culprit was losing AJ Brown. Without AJ Brown's receiving game, the Titans relied too heavily on Derrick Henry's rushing game, which all the Titan's opponents came prepared for, leaving the Titans little to no chance for a winning season. DeAndre Hopskins seems like a decent replacement for AJ Brown, good enough giving the Titans a good air game, which will distract from the ground game. Between this air game and this passing game, the Titans should be Super Bowl bound, breaking a 24-year Super Bowl drought for the franchise. Unfortunately, this lack of Super Bowl experience will be the team's downfall, especially in comparison to Rams, who just have a 1-year Super Bowl drought. Super Bowl LVIII will start out slow, with both teams only making it to the red zone, but not the endzone (a Super Bowl of field goals, if you will) for the first 3 quarters. The 4th quarter, however, will become a shootout of touchdowns. The Titans will get the ball back to attempt to tie the game, but they will run out time, making the Rams the Super Bowl champions. Matthew Stafford will be named the Super Bowl MVP, go to Disney World, and then announce his retirement.

SUPER BOWL LVII

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 28, Indianapolis Colts - 3

Why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs the Indianapolis Colts for Super Bowl LVII?

When Tom Brady initially announced his retirement in February 2022, it looked like an era had come to an end, and it was time for another young quarterback to take a shot at becoming the next G.O.A.T., or the next greatest-of-all-time. Then, in March 2022, Tom Brady came out of retirement, and those dreams for young quarterbacks came to end. Nobody knows for sure what caused Tom Brady to come out of retirement. It could simply be the fact that he learned that the Buccaneers swapped out Bruce Arians for head coach and swapped in Todd Bowles for head coach because rumor has it Arians and Brady did not get along too well last year. I like to believe, however, Tom Brady saw something in the actual players of the team that made him believe the Buccaneers really had a legitimate shot at the Super Bowl. Despite losing Rob Gronkowski, Tom still has a serious receiving core with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and the late addition of Julio Jones will fill in perfectly for Gronkowski's absence. Leonard Fornette's rushing game will distract from passing game. While the Buccaneers defense does not hold up as well as their Super Bowl winning defense of 2 years ago, that won't be too much of a problem, as the offense can win any shootout, as long as enough time remains. Meanwhile, Indianapolis Colts have a strong possibility of making a serious run to the Super Bowl. Last year, the Indianapolis Colts starting running back Jonathan Taylor had a monster year, leading the league in rushing attempts, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. The only problem, however, is that Indianapolis did not have a passing game to distract from the rushing game. Carson Wentz was mediocre as the starting quarterback, which in turn made the Colts heavily rely on Jonathan Taylor's rushing game, perhaps too much. Indianapolis decided to swap out former Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz in order to swap in former Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan. There's a good reason Matt Ryan has the nickname Matty Ice. Matt Ryan can give the Colts a passing game that will distract from Jonathan Taylor's rushing, which will allow Taylor to run wild (no pun intended). Ironically, the only AFC that could rival them is fellow AFC South rival Tennessee Titans with Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry pulling the same dynamic duo. Just like the Buccaneers, the Colts may need to rely on shootouts to win, but a win is a win, nonetheless. That philosophy will run out by the Super Bowl. During the Super Bowl, on the Colts opening drive, they will score a field goal, and that will be the only score the whole game. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers will score a touchdown every quarter: 3 passing touchdowns from Tom Brady and 1 rushing touchdown from Leonard Fornette. The Buccaneers will win the Super Bowl over the Colts, 28-3, and yes, I did choose that score so Brady can haunt Ryan with that score one more time. Tom Brady wins his 8th Super Bowl championship and 6th Super Bowl MVP.

SUPER BOWL LVI:

Green Bay Packers - 31, Pittsburg Steelers - 25

Why Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers for Super Bowl LVI?

Yes, I did predict a Super Bowl XLV rematch with the same results. Aaron Rodger's "will he? won't he?" this past offseason made it obvious Aaron Rodgers's time with the Packers and the NFL will come to an end soon. It would not surprise me if this is Aaron Rodgers's last year with the Packers and the NFL. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers recently knows what it feels like to be the bridesmaid and not the bride, as they have consistently finished 2nd place in the NFC, losing the conference championship game. The time has come for Rodgers and the Packers to return to the Super Bowl for the first time in eleven years. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a similar situation. Pittsburgh has not seen a Super Bowl in eleven years. The Steelers have an aging quarterback, whose retirement may come sooner than later. Unlike the Packers, however, the Steelers really don't have a backup plan for Ben Roethlisberger's retirement (I do not have faith in Mason Rudolph). The Steelers may not see a Super Bowl for a long time, so they deserve another visit. Unfortunately, as comparison to the last time these two teams met in the Super Bowl, this Packers team is better and this Steelers team is worse. Therefore, the Super Bowl goes to the Packers, and hopefully the Steelers can at least keep it close.
