Tampa Bay 38, Kansas City 35

Why: Expecting a high-scoring affair, with both offenses so explosive it may come down to a single turnover. With Kansas City missing both their Week 1 starting tackles to injury I could see Tampa getting late pressure and forcing a fumble to seal the deal. I’m from Boston … never bet against Tom Brady, ever.

MVP: Tom Brady

Kansas City 37, Tampa Bay 27

Why: It is a matchup of the best QBs — the current all-time best against someone who will take his place in the future. Patrick Mahomes will make one more play than Tom Brady.

Tampa Bay 31, Kansas City 27

Why: Tampa’s DEFENSE! Buccaneers’ front four has the edge over a banged up Chiefs O-line. Plus Brady’s been here before … Will claim his seventh Super Bowl win.

Kansas City 35, Tampa Bay 31

Why: Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City offense give the Chiefs a lead, and Tom Brady leads a comeback drive in the final minutes. On the last play of the game, Brady does give it to his big running back, but the Kansas City defense stops Leonard Fournette at the goal line for the win.

Kansas City 35, Tampa Bay 31

Why: Kansas City’s offense is just too explosive, but I think Brady will make a late run making it an interesting game.

Tampa Bay 27, Kansas City 23

Why: The weather conditions and possibility of missing both starting tackles will slow the seemingly unstoppable Chiefs offense. These factors will allow the Buccaneers to control the tempo of the game similar to their game against Green Bay. Tampa will win a very close game because they will be able to make the Chiefs offense one-dimensional due to their stellar run defense and get pressure in the passing game with only a four-man rush due to a banged up Chiefs offensive line. On the other side of the ball the Chiefs have been very susceptible to the deep ball which is why I believe Mike Evans will have a MVP level game.

Side Note: This is one of my most highly anticipated Super Bowls because I believe it is an absolute joy to watch both of these quarterbacks play this wonderful game!

MVP: Mike Evans

Why: Tom Brady is at his best in big games. Gronk catches the winning TD.

Kansas City 35, Tampa Bay 24

Why: Give the Chiefs; Andy and company two weeks and a previous matchup to study and they are too much with too many weapons.
