Super Bowl LIV Picks

[RoberX]

Who do you think is going to win Super Bowl LIV?

I am going for the Chiefs! 

[Darkfrog]

I'm don't really follow the NFL too intently anymore, but I'm going with the local team - 49ers.

[Yukari]

49'ers.

I like Galapolo as a quarterback.  I think his years under Brady makes him a winner.

He'll half to throw more than 8 passes. I think both teams have strengths and weaknesses. KC is not that good against the run, but it SF can not get behind, then they have a chance. SF cannot let Mahomes run free. That will kill them.

Flipped a quarter...……..  KC Chiefs !!!!!!!!

Did you watch the KC vs. Titans game?   They held the league leader to 69 rushing yards.  

I believe both teams (KC and SF) deserve to be in the Superbowl.   

What surprised me was the running ability of Mostert of SF.    He had 220 yards against the Packers.    I don't think the Packers were good enough to really win their conference.   Obviously they played well when they needed to but they never led vs the Lions until the winning field goal in each game.   Detroit actually controlled each of their games.   That in itself is telling.  

KC has so many very good offensive weapons.   I think they will win.

Once KC was up by 2 or 3 scores, Titans were forced to pass. That skews the stats. In the first quarter Henry was chewing up 5-10 yard runs. If the Titans defense was better, or they actually called any of the holds the KC line was committing, it would have been different. 
 

I don’t think SF will be able to run free against KC. The packers D was awful. But SF is a more balanced offense and has a better D than the Titans. They play more man. Titans were doing a lot of zone, which killed them. 
 

I hope is a close game. These last two were runaways.

I'm a chiefs fan, so biased, but i do think it's a pretty even match up.  I was hoping for the packers because i think that would have been the better matchup for the chiefs.  The 49er's defense is solid.  So like many NFL games, it will probably hinge on a couple big plays.  Hopefully (for me) the Chiefs can get out to a lead and force garapolo to pass.  I think Andy Reid finally gets it done this year, although that might be my  heart talking.  And i just really like my chances when mahomes is QB.

I don't quite understand the "Garapolo can't throw the football" narrative going around right now. He has led the 9ers to several victories, even from behind, by, gasp....... throwing the football. Hopefully the Chief's will make the same mistake and discover just how well he can throw.

It’s not that he “can’t “ throw. It is more that in these playoffs, they have chosen not to throw much. Jimmy G can throw effectively, but SF strength has been the run game lately with their zone blocking.

KC is the opposite, a great passing team, but their stock run game is average. Mahomes has been their leading rusher this post season. I think it will be a good matchup.

I cant figure out why they tied his hands though. He seems to have the arm and the head to throw it.

One game does not make a team great at something. 

Really, KC's rush defense is not that great, 

I am going to go with SF to win. I think they can play keep away from KC.  I like their pass rush against KC.

Yes!   Hope the first of many.  

[RoberX]

Nice win for KC!

What i didn't understand about that game from SF is if you have a team that can plow open 5 yard wide holes almost at will, why the hell are you throwing the ball at all in the second half? Garoppolo shouldn't have thrown the ball more than 20 times in general.

A bigger blunder is why they go for FGs when they’re averaging 5-6.5 yds per carry effortlessly on 4th and 3,5. Zero confidence and a real pansy. Gotta go big. Left 8pts on the field easily.

Same guy was the OC of Atlanta when they gave up a 28-3 halftime lead.
