Superbowl 55

My prediction. Kansas City 41 Tampa Bay 34.

KC  didn't even score a touchdown........if you were a las vegas casino bookmaker-manager, what odds would have put up that KC would not score a touchdown?    10,000 to 1       20,000 to  1 ?

KC lost because they had 3 substitutes on the offensive line so Mahones was constantly rushed which took away the pass game and the running game...also it looked like mahones was hurting on his knee or foot....he got beat up bad.

The offensive line are the most important players in football......if they suck, the QB can't pass and there are no holes for the running backs to run through the line........lucky if a team can score 13 points with a bad offensive line.

Mahomes press conference pretty much told it the way it was, he didn't try to get out of anything.   Said it was his number one game he got beat beat up the worst on in a long time. As well, all of his offense was double and triple covered and Tampa Bay's guys were spot-on, not one doubt about it Tampa Bay performed the way that I thought they would but I thought that KC would have been a tad bit on the more aggressive and positive side and would have completed everything that Mahomes attempted. But even the greatest teams and players at times lose, and this is a perfect example of what happens with great teams and great players and great records......there are losing times.

Doesn't much matter now but what was impressive was all those times where he ran 5-10-15 yards back and then was running out of bounds so he didn't get sacked and he was throwing it while he was in the air on the way down to the ground or the way out of bounds and all the ones were he was off-balance throwing it spot on to a guy in the end zone or near it, and they couldn't catch it.

And you are right, what astronomical odds would anyone have gave a great quarterback not to make a single touchdown in a superbowl game?

The prop bets in Vegas of KC not scoring a touchdown were 50 to 1    or   60 to 1 in other places.............

Typical vegas ripoff........should be at least 300 to  1 or 500 to 1........just like vegas charging $ 25 for a beer  or the $ 40 "Resort Fees"
