Score Predictions
AFC: Chiefs (34) over Titans (28)
Let’s have a quick recap! The Kansas City Chiefs have been aiming to overcome their Super Bowl drought since the 1969 campaign. The Tennessee Titans, on the other hand, had a sole appearance in the NFL’s championship game in 1999 until this season.
Nobody should underrate the Titans at this point, though. There are several reasons why the team has reached the AFC championship. First off, they’ve proved that they’re able to hang with AFC top teams and successfully beat them, consequently advancing to the AFC championship game.
Derrick Henry, for once, is one of the Kansas City’s running backs that the Chiefs should keep an eye on. He sprinted for 188 yards and threw two touchdowns when the Titans beat the Chiefs during the regular season.
The chances, however, are that it might be too much for the Titan’s defense to break off Chief’s offense, according to some experts. Of course, the Titans have been doing well for the past two weeks. But surely the Chiefs would make a late defensive stand to seize the AFC title, as well.
The Chiefs had showcased how they can handle difficulties, especially during their game against the Houston Texans. Never forget how Patrick Mahomes II saved his team against the Houston Texans in the divisional round. He threw five touchdowns, of which four came in the second quarter. Consequently, they got rid of their 24-point deficit and surprisingly took the lead by halftime.
To sum up, both the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans have what it takes to be the next AFC victor. The final game should be a more competitive game, featuring multiple lead changes. Even so, many are anticipating the Chiefs would take an early lead and run away with this championship.
NFC: 49ers (24) over Packers (20)
Over the past ten years, both San Francisco 49ers or Green Bay Packers made appearances in the Super Bowl. In 2012, the 49ers lost to Baltimore Ravens by a score of 34-31. This season was Ravens’ first Super Bowl defeat in franchise history. The Packers, on the other hand, beat the Steelers 31–25 and won the 2010 season.
San Francisco 49ers were the only team that held the Green Bay Packers to less than 10 points this season. It could be one of the 49ers’ biggest accomplishments this year. The team, which is coached by Kyle Shanahan, rolled to 37-8 home win against the Packers in Week 12.
What’s more, 49er’s stellar defense is ranked second in the NFL’s regular season, which shut down Minnesota Vikings in the divisional round. The team’s balanced rushing attack would stimulate their offense, as well.
However, it wouldn’t be an easy road for the 49ers. The Green Bay Packers are now far better than how they performed in San Francisco earlier this season. Every player of Green Bay wants to keep up with their previous loss. This, in fact, has proven by their six straight games, as well as their divisional-round victory over the Seahawks.
Here’s a quick glance at every remaining playoff team’s odds to win Super Bowl LIV:
Tennessee Titans: 8/1
Kansas City Chiefs: 7/5
San Francisco 49ers: 3/2
Green Bay Packers – 7/1
