Useless predictions: 2021 Super Bowl weekend

    The game is set and ready to go in a few hours, didn't get neither of the two conference games correct but I got one of the finalists right since the beginning the the season. The Chiefs couldn't hang on to the lead, they hand control and the team to put the game away but as their season was plagued by inconsistency to finish off games, this game ended being a reflection of their season. The 49ers offense did too little to help their defense out who ran out of gas in the 4th quarter, they could have ended the game if Jaquiski Tartt didn't drop the interception and failing to stop the Rams last drive for the winning FG, still the 49ers offensive weapons were held in check and Jimmy Garoppolo showed too little to be considered the QB that can take this team to a Super Bowl. On to the last game of the 2021 season.

Conference round: 0-2

Playoffs record: 4-8 (33%)


L.A. Rams at Cincinnati (+4.5)   U48.5

   The super team against the young underdog, it has the look of a good game. The Bengals, a team many had not in the playoffs and even some had them ranked to end the season as one of the bottom 5 teams, a team that is quite stacked with young talented players managed to reach the promised land with a potent air attack and a sturdy defense, they will go against a team that only got richer as the season progressed via trades getting Von Miller to help elevate the pass rush and Odell Beckham to replace injured Robert Woods while also convincing Eric Weddle out of retirement to replace injured Jordan Fuller, its an up and down team but has all the makings of a complete roster with no reason not to be the favorite to win this game but honestly the only thing stopping the Bengals from being favorite is their incapability of protecting Joe Burrow, can he survive the pass rush once more to lead his team to the Lombardi? Can Mathew Stafford get rid of the Lions label and get the ultimate price? Or will he need help from the other savvy veterans on his team? I don't expect this being an offensive juggernaut of a game, the defenses will be in full display and the one that blinks first is going to pay the price.
