Super Bowl LIX Prediction from Brent Musburger:
I’m sick of reading about three-peats. I’m sick of seeing Taylor Swift smooch Travis Kelce on the 50-yard line. And I’m definitely sick of the Kansas City Chiefs owning the AFC West. But damn, they’re a helluva organization and I can’t pick against them winning the whole enchilada again.
Everybody is tired of hearing that no team has won three Super Bowls in a row. Okay. But who’s going to beat Kansas City? San Francisco? Bookmakers give the 49ers the best chance, but that’s only because the NFC is easier to win than the AFC. The Chiefs would be favored over the Niners in a New Orleans Super Bowl rematch.

How about Baltimore? Not the worst choice, but Lamar Jackson still hasn’t proved he can lead the Ravens from behind in the fourth quarter. Remember, Jackson was last seen slamming his helmet on the bench after throwing an interception and two incompletions on the Ravens’ final two drives in their AFC Championship loss.
How about Buffalo? That window may have closed. Josh Allen turns the ball over too often and, besides, he didn’t throw for 200 yards or have any completion longer than 15 yards when the Chiefs eliminated the Bills in Buffalo.
How about Cincinnati? Last team to beat the Chiefs in the playoffs. Can Joe Burrow stay healthy? Without him, the Bengals were shut out in the second half of a December loss last season in KC.
Three other AFC teams you might consider: Houston, Miami and New York. I’ll stick with Patrick Mahomes, thank you.
And in the Super Bowl, how about Detroit, Philadelphia or Dallas? Thanks, but I’ll take Andy Reid.
History says it won’t happen, but I say records are made to be broken! The Chiefs will three-peat and write a large check to former Laker Coach Pat Riley who owns the t-shirt and sweatshirt trademark for “three-peat.” Oh, Travis, you’re wearing lipstick again!
