NFL Playoffs, Super Bowl Pick

Kansas City Chiefs/Philadelphia Eagles: have to admit that even though these were the two most likely teams to make the Super Bowl, I'm still somewhat taken aback, I thought the Bills would compete this year for sure, especially after that huge storm in December (like New Orleans winning after Katrina). The Allen/Mahomes rematch has been put on hold nevertheless, the Mahomes/Burrow rematch favouring the Chiefs, who seem like underdogs in this one (even if that sounds nonsensical). The Eagles exploited San Fran's QB issues in the most disappointing playoff game in recent memory, but there's no doubt they scored plenty versus that defence, who did spend most of the first half on the field. From what I've seen from Philadelphia, they look super unstoppable, like an impenetrable marble wall, backed up by an outstanding offence. When they had to make huge plays they made them and slowly chipped away at the formidable 49ers. Definitely tough to beat them. Also difficult to take on Mahomes. It's strange when you consider that the best QB in the NFL seems like the Super Bowl underdog, that doesn't make much sense, Kansas City's defence also played well. But things were closer in their games but would they have been if Mahomes hadn't been injured?, without recourse to the multiverse there's no answer, but one less penalty and I may have been picking the Bengals. Nonetheless, Philadelphia and Kansas City struggled for a really long time, and their loyal fans stuck with them, cool to see the success, forever, go Broncos! There's nothing quite like your favourite team making the Super Bowl, it's a wonderful time, no arguments there. The last time a team I wanted to win the Super Bowl came out on top it was in fact the Eagles (I guess I was rooting for Tampa too), but this time I'm taking the Chiefs, it'd be cool to see another Kansas City win. Another Kansas City win and the AFC West becomes the second division with 3 teams to win the Super Bowl three times (Las Vegas technically has to win the Super Bowl again [even though the Raiders have won three times, they've never won in Las Vegas]). Hey. That's not too shabby. The Chargers still need to pick up that first win. They've got a solid team. Whatever. Go Broncos!
