5. Jacksonville vs. 12. Kansas City
How Jacksonville can win: QB Tim Tebow actually has weapons similar to those he had in college. That’s especially the case at receiver with the mix of size and speed that WRs Bob Hayes, Ken Burrough and Harold Carmichael offer. It’s also going to be difficult to stop Jacksonville’s monstrous tandem of RB Derrick Henry and FB John L. Williams out of the backfield. Defensively, stopping Gale Sayers and Barry Sanders will prove to be tough for any Legends team, but if Jacksonville can get them in passing situations, good luck throwing on a defense that boasts DE Jack Youngblood on the edge and CB Champ Bailey and safety Brian Dawkins in coverage. — James Johnson, Jaguars Wire
How Kansas City can win: QB John Hadl will be tasked with getting the ball to his playmakers at the RB position — Barry Sanders and Gale Sayers. Sprinkle in some screen passes to Darren Sproles, and you’re golden. That unit is a mismatch for any opponent. On the defensive side, CBs Terence Newman and Roger Wehrli should make quick work of Jaguars QB Tim Tebow, but WRs Bob Hayes and Harold Carmichael could cause problems. — Charles Goldman, Chiefs Wire
