Give me both road teams.
I like Jared Goff to have a great game - he’s headed home to Cali, and has won this game before. The Lions are a complete team and I think they at least cover the spread (Lions + 7.5) and may win outright.
While Baltimore looks unbeatable, I can’t bet against Mahomes and Andy Reid. Not to mention that Lamar sometimes struggles in playoff games. Chiefs win outright.

Detroit’s D isn’t very good. But Dan Campbell is a national treasure. Don’t really know who I want to win this one. Knowing that the Browns will be the last non expansion team never to appear in a Super Bowl if Detroit wins is depressing.
I also would never bet against Mahomes. Of course hoping for a KC win.

The favorites are clearly the Ravens and Niners.
I want the Lions to win it all. Great Lakes team that has suffered like us.
I think the Ravens will win. The Niners will probably win but I am pulling for the Lions.
As much as I would hate it. I think the Ravens will win it all.

I'm rooting for the Lions because their history is just like ours. Their fans have suffered too. Nothing against the 49ers. In the AFC I'm sick of KC but there's no way I'll root for Baltimore.

Rooting for the Lions and Chiefs this week. Then I want to see Hank Fraley get a ring with the Lions.

I'll certainly be rooting for the Chiefs and Lions but I don't think the teams I'll be rooting for will win.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Deebo Samuel has been cleared to play. For me that was a huge factor in this game. It's much easier when you have to focus on either McCaffrey or Samual, but trying to shut them both down at the same time is a monumental undertaking. His injury didn't look good last week especially when he came out in street clothes after leaving the locker room. The difficulty factor for the Lions defense just shot through the roof.

I think the Lions being banged up on the interior of the OL could be an issue. Jackson being out at guard and Ragnow having 4 different body parts listed on the injury report aren't ideal. Kalif Raymond might also be a big loss, particularly on special teams. I wouldn't be surprised if Goff struggled. Armstead and Hargrave aren't the duo you want to be facing with a banged up interior. Hutchinson might be able to give Purdy problems, and it could turn into a low scoring affair. I'd like the Lions' chances better if the game were being played in Detroit. Perhaps Jameson Williams and Gibbs can come up with some explosive plays. I think Thuney being out for KC doesn't bode well, either. Roquan and Queen might cause problems on A gap blitzes. They might have caused problems without throwing a new face and potential communication issues into the mix. Pacheco being at less than 100 percent is also not good for KC's chances. I won't count Mahomes out, but this team didn't have the greatest surrounding parts for him before the injuries. Maybe Lamar will implode, but I don't think so. Looks like the Super Bowl logo color conspiracy is going to play out to me. ...I can't wait to hear all the non-stop Harbaugh talk that would likely bring...

Kadarius Toney is out for KC. One less target for Mahomes.

From a betting standpoint:
Chiefs +4.5
Lions +7.5
What I want to see happen:
Chiefs win
Lions win

The Ravens/Chiefs game.... Man, it should be a great game! It may even turn out to be better than the Superbowl. Who will win? I'm gonna guess the Ravens, but I wouldn't bet money against Patrick Mahomes. I'm up in the air with this one.
Lions/49ers? I'm gonna go with the 49ers, although I hope the Lions win it all. They remind me of the Browns a bit, that's why.
Overall I'm just hoping for good, competitive games here.

pretty great opening for KC
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Right now it looks like KC's got this, or at least they have the edge at this point (3:46 left before halftime.) Lots of game to play though.

I feel like that was the most Brownsian turnover I’ve seen in a long time. God I love that it happened to the old Browns

Well, KC will play either DET or SF

Love it! Not a lot of love for the chiefs in my household but I wanted the Ravens to lose so bad. And I love HOW they lost. Delicious.
But I almost never get both my picks so I’m (statistically) a tad less optimistic about the Lions now. I went into the weekend feeling like if there was an upset, it was much more likely to be the 9ers losing than the Ravens. If the Lions lose I officially don’t care about the Super Bowl. I would root ever so slightly more for the 9ers and Mr Irrelevant.

Well friends, I trusted my instincts and picked the following:
KC to win outright and for Mahomes to throw a td.
Detroit to cover.
Turned 14 bucks into 49 bucks.
I’d like to say that the 49ers steamroll the chiefs but not just yet.

Detroit had a great season and should be commended for it just as we did. However, after a well-played first half Detroit reverted back to the Detroit we all have known since forever. Tough way to end a great season.

The Browns likely could not have beaten any of these 4 teams. 100% the Browns could have beaten SF, Detroit, and the Ravens. No one is beating KC. This is Brady/Belichek type stuff going on. Are people actually considering betting against Mahomes in the Super Bowl?

Are people actually considering betting against Mahomes in the Super Bowl? I'd only consider betting against the Chiefs if more money was on them. Vegas always wins. Plus, there won't be any more games for Taylor Swift to show up to if KC wins. But there are too many variables and too much BS for me to ever really bet on sport outcomes.

SF vs KC is boring, but will be a good game IMO
I think SF is a bit better, but never count out Mahomes obviously
