Packers - Chiefs SB
Going with the favorites obviously. I’m looking for an upset Tampa Bay. And buffalo . But I believe there’s only going to be one upsetting that will be Tampa Bay

Surprisingly close lines in both games today.
Chiefs are only a 3 point favorite and Packers 3 1/2.

I think I’m most surprised by the Chiefs line. I believe if you Like KC you must give up the 3. But there’s concern with Mahomes health. And if anyone could upset their quest for a repeat to SB the Bills look poised to deliver. I’ll be pulling for Buffalo and they were my dog about mid season to make some noise as I’m big on Allen but to actually put money on them winning and or covering isn’t what I’d call a good bet. Regardless the results looks like the Bills will be a serious contender for years to come .

In the NFC the Packers have been the best team all year. Rodgers of course on another MVP pace but it’s their defense which could win it for them. I’ll be rooting for Brady and the Bucs but it’s very difficult to pick Packers loosing at Lambeau in January. This is Rodgers 5th NFC championship game and first at home. But if anyone could pull off the upset Brady is the guy. The Bucs also have the home field in SB going against them which no other team has ever had which this year of course might not make as much difference except sleeping in your own bed .

I think we could see an upset in either of the games today and why Vegas has the lines so close. I also think the league and powers that be would like to see the Packers/ Chiefs SB. I was hoping the lines would be larger and I’d be tempted to take one of the Dogs as I see both with a real shot to win but I’d be rooting for one of them to cover while losing which is very difficult with the spread .

As always , a smart wager is made with your mind not your heart. Since I think both Dogs could win and the lines are too small I’m opting out. So, I’m going to bail on both games as too close to call and take the over in GB (52)and under in KC.(56).

Should be two great games . Which these playoffs haven’t had enough of. And any combination should be a great matchup for SB.
Go Bucs and Bills!!
because they are great matchups will be close games unless steam has bunch of Tos or sowthing..2 great championship games should be close and very competitive..the lines are correct this time..

Green Bay didn’t look that great, and the Browns should’ve beat Kansas City
not where i sat all the missing players on the chiefs and Mahomes went out, really should have , that shows they are far from ready to compete against teams like KC,, they had the best opportunity and couldn't close it out..thats why i say KC can play their B game and win.. that how good they are..they look down and still can win..

GB IMO is the most complete team in all 3 phases and add coaching ..just solid and should be able to win in any type of game ie slow run type, wide open, defensive. Ive seen the most consistent play from them..sorry but that my opinion and wont debate further , you pick yours..I picked mine..

Packers vs Bills for the Super Bowl.

Any matchup involving the Bills would be a ratings killer. Ratings have been way down this season. Mahomes versus Brady or Aaron Rodgers would draw a lot of interest.

It's settled. This will be the 26th super bowl that features one or more teams that didn't make the playoffs the previous year. Since the merger. 25 times it didn't happen.

So over half the Super bowls have at least one team that didn't make the playoffs the year before.
