Ali Bhanpuri: Chiefs about Seahawks. There’s no controversial ending for Seattle this Super Bowl Sunday, as the best player in the world shuts down a talented Seahawks defense from the opening kickoff. Pat Mahomes’ six-year career as a starter improves to a blistering 6/4/3… as in six AFC title game appearances, four trips to the Super Bowl and three Lombardi Trophies.
Tom Blair: Chiefs over 49ers. This pick may seem a bit boring now, but the matchup delivers drama from start to finish – with Brock Purdy ultimately playing so well that he would have been the game’s MVP had the 49ers won.
Brooke Cersosimo: Chiefs on 49ers. I won’t fight the Chiefs until they give me a reason to. Patrick Mahomes is orchestrating another championship season to help Kansas City become the first team since the 2003-04 New England Patriots to win back-to-back Lombardis.
Gennaro Filice: Chiefs over Cowboys. The last time the Cowboys played in the Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes was 4 months old. 28 years later, the Texas native is sending Dallas to win the MVPs (regular season and Super Bowl) for the second straight year. Unparalleled stuff from unparalleled talent.
Grant Gordon: Chiefs about Cowboys. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs become the NFL’s first back-to-back champions since Tom Brady and the Pats. But the real winner is Mike McCarthy, who remains in Dallas after leading the Cowboys back to the Super Bowl Sunday for the first time since the dynasty days of the ’90s.
Anthony Holzman-Escareno: Chiefs about Cowboys. The Cowboys beat the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game, but can’t unseat the NFL’s best player and coach. Patrick Mahomes continues to expand his legacy and takes a few steps closer to Tom Brady.
Maurice Jones-Drew: Chiefs over Eagles. The more things change, the more they stay the same. In an instant rematch of Super Bowl LVII, Patrick Mahomes leads the Chiefs against the Eagles once again, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest players to ever play the game.
Kevin Patra: Chiefs over Cowboys. The Chiefs are the first back-to-back Lombardi winners since the New England Patriots in 2003-04, and Patrick Mahomes equals Tom Brady with three Super Bowl victories at age 28.
Chad Reuter: Chiefs over 49ers. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are finally achieving the Super Bowl repeat that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady achieved almost two decades ago.
