What happens Sunday evening in the final football game we get until late August?
Alright, that’s said an no offense is meant to the XFL or fans/players of any other league but you catch my drift.
So what happens Sunday when Kansas City tries to end their 50 year title drought and San Francisco tries to join the Steelers and Patriots as the only teams with six Super Bowls?
Here is how the Fighting Irish Wire Staff sees Super Bowl Sunday going:
Mike Chen: Chiefs 35, 49ers 24
Pat Mahomes is just too damn good and proves to be too much for the 49ers to handle.
Geoffrey Clark: Chiefs 35, 49ers 17
Mahomes is built for moments like this and when the lights shine brightest he won’t disappoint. Not exactly a reach but he’s easily the MVP come 10 pm Sunday.
Jeff Feyerer: Chiefs 27, 49ers 23
The Chiefs just have so many weapons I don’t know how you stop them. Sure the 49ers have a great running game but I trust the KC game plan and secondary to both be better against that running game than the Packers were.
Nick Shepkowski: Chiefs 27, 49ers 24
Oddity of this game is that the stats don’t match the narrative. The 49ers actually allowed more points than the Chiefs did this year while the Niners also out-scored Kansas City in 2019. Defense wins championships, right?! Chiefs in a classic.
