And here we are, the last multiple game week of the football season. We have only 4 teams left. What happens this Sunday will determine the Super Bowl participants in Vegas. Will the last game of the season be the same as the first game, with the Lions and Chiefs playing? Will it be a rematch of Patrick Mahomes first super bowl with the Chiefs facing the 49ers? Will it be Dirty Detroit vs crime ridden Baltimore? Or will the leaked script prove to be true with the 49ers and Ravens battling it out. Well, here is my confession, the only thing I know for sure is Usher is doing the half time show, YEAH! But I am always here to make some ill advised predictions that you should probably not use for betting purposes. So let’s dive into the big games.

MVP vs MVPat: Chiefs @ Ravens on CBS @ 1 PM Mountain Time:

I am not sure what is going to happen in this game but I am confident that the winner of this is going to be the Super Bowl Champs. The Ravens have been the best team in the league for the majority of the year. They dominated the best of the best teams and most recently added a dominating playoff win over the Texans. They have the best defense in the league and the MVP of the year. It seems like the Ravens should win this easily. But the Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs are showing up playing their best football of the year. They are playing in their 6th straight conference championship game but their first one on the road. This game should be a great battle. You have the top 2 defenses, 2 two time MVP’s, great coaches and arguably the two most clutch kickers in the league. 

Reasons for the Chiefs to have hope: They have playoff Pat, the defense never gives up more than 7 points in the second half, they have a hall of fame coach and are playing their best football of the year.

Reasons for the Ravens to have hope: They have pretty much dominated all the good teams they have played. They have a dangerous and mobile running back who can throw the ball and an elite defense and don’t really have any injuries.

Prediction: Lots of people are predicting the Ravens to win in a blowout. There is just one problem the Chiefs don’t really get blown out. They don’t blow out anyone either. So look for another close game. The Ravens have more talent. The Chiefs have the best player in the league. Both defenses are top notch and good at making adjustments at halftime. I think this game comes down to whoever has a chance to kick last. The Chiefs drive down late and Butker hits a 41 yarder to take the lead by 3. With a minute left in the game, the Chiefs defense keeps the Ravens from crossing midfield and everyone who isn’t a Chiefs fan is really upset as Pat and the gang head back to the Super Bowl once again.

The Team that never makes it vs the The team that always makes it: Lions @ 49ers on Fox @ 4:30 Mountain Time

The 49ers are arguably the most successful franchise in the NFC. They won their first 5 super bowls and have been to 7 overall. The Lions have never been to a Super Bowl and in fact haven’t played in a championship game since 1957. That is quite the championship drought. And it isn’t like they have been close a bunch of times or ever really. I believe this is only their second Conference Championship game. The 49ers have arguably the best roster in the NFL. The Lions have the “we are due” mantra on lock. The 49ers defense is clearly better. However, the Lions have a great O-line and great skill guys. Both teams have good but limited quarterbacks. This should be another good game. 

Reasons for the Lions to have hope: I mean they haven’t won since 1957! They are the only franchise that has been operational for the entirety of the Super Bowl era to never make the super bowl. They are due. They can’t like never ever win, right? 

Reasons for the 49ers to have hope: They are playing the Lions. They haven’t won since 1957. Why would they start now? 

Prediction: According to Vegas, the 49ers have not only the best odds to win this game but also the best odds to win the Super Bowl. But as the wise Han Solo once said…”Never tell me the odds!” My gut is right more than it isn’t and my gut says the Lions find a way to get it done. Purdy is good but not great and Shanahan tends to struggle most when it matters most. Maybe the Packers game scared them straight and they come out and take care of business but it just feels like the Lions team is a little thing of destiny. I mean…it’s been since 1957 after all. In a matter of 3 years, Dan Campbell goes from biting ankles to going to the Super Bowl.

And there you have it. The season will end the same way it started with the Chiefs and the Lions facing off. Almost seems scripted doesn’t it? The NFL leaked the scripted game between the 49ers and Ravens but it was a fake to prove that the NFL isn’t scripted. But they can’t trick this guy as I know that the script was a hoax and the real script was this rematch between the Chiefs and Lions. I’m on to you NFL script writers! You can’t fool me. Let’s see if I get proved right.
