Next Friday, when Week 16 of the NFL begins, there will be 21 teams with a chance to play Super Bowl LV, 21 teams with a mathematical chance of entering the Playoffs and once inside, trying to reach Tampa Bay on February 7, 2021.
For now, there are 21 teams with possibilities with two weeks to play, it is the highest figure since 2016, of course, with the difference that as of the 2020 season, there are 14 teams that enter the Playoffs, seven per Conference.
The question is simple, who will lose the Super Bowl to the Chiefs? Of course, I don’t want to be disrespectful to the other 20 teams or their fans, Buffalo looks like a team that can hold a shootout against the Chiefs in a hypothetical final in the AFC, the Steelers have a defense of respect, the Titans with Henry they are a point machine.
In the NFC, the Saints played the Chiefs yesterday afternoon, a three-point difference without Michael Thomas; Aaron Rodgers and his Packers have a solid team; the Rams have a defense – which disappeared yesterday but could put Mahomes in trouble; Seattle has all the experience in the Playoffs and a player who changes any game in the blink of an eye like Russell Wilson, but after that immense ‘choro’ I do not buy anyone against the Chiefs.
Putting me in the role of devil’s advocate, the Chiefs have won six consecutive games by less than seven points, working hard in the last offensive series to turn the game or to kill the clock, it is a reality that their recent victories have not convinced no one. The situation is that it seems that they never lose control of the game, that when they want to, they score, that when they need to stop their rival they do it, that they have a play in their ideal playbook for any moment that is required and they execute it at the right time. perfection, they seem like a team that plays with fire and does not burn.
In the NFL it is very difficult to repeat a championship, it has not happened since 2003-2004 when the Patriots beat Carolina and the Eagles in consecutive years, but I have no doubt that these Chiefs have everything to achieve it.
