It’s time for Super Bowl 59! This article was written throughout the course of the NFL playoffs about my overall opinions, reactions, and predictions leading up to the Super Bowl, which is happening on February 9th. The Super Bowl is a tradition that is loved by fan bases nationwide. The Super Bowl is when two teams from the NFL face off to see who will be the final champion at the end of every season. It is also a fun time to gather, eat junk food, and enjoy all of the funny commercials and halftime show with family and friends!
The Playoffs
In the NFL, there are 13 teams that make it into the playoffs each year. This year, Wild Card Weekend was not only exciting, but wild, to say the least. From the 2024 season, The Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders, Baltimore Ravens, and Los Angeles Rams, were the teams that moved on. Finally, the Kansas City Chiefs joined in because they had the best record in the entire NFL overall giving them a bye week over the wild card games. Then, the Divisional weekend games were held on January 18th and 19th. Eight games were played in the span of these two days. Four teams came out on top. The Chiefs beat the Texans 23-14 which wasn’t much of a surprise since the Chiefs have a record of 15-2. The Texans have played pretty well this year overall though! In another game, the Commanders were the underdogs, but they surprisingly beat the Lions, an extremely good team this year by a score of 45-31. Then, we had the Bills beat the Ravens 25-27 which was really exciting to watch all the way to the end. And finally, the Rams lost to the Eagles 22-28.
The Final Four
Now to decide who’s playing in the Super Bowl. As we go into the final four teams next week, two games will be played on Sunday January 26th. Which is when we will find out if my predictions were correct!
As we went into the final two games before the Super Bowl, we need to remember that anything could happen in the playoffs. This was just my prediction of what will happen and should be taken lightly. The first game played was the Eagles vs the Commanders. The Commanders were the underdog team in the playoffs, although they have been doing very well. They very well could have easily been a force to be reckoned with going into this game. The Eagles have been good all year long and had something to show going into this game. They had a better chance than the Commanders, who have demonstrated success in previous years. With their undeniable success, they ended up not having much to show for it, considering their unfortunate loss two years ago against the Chiefs. For my prediction on the first game, I think that the Eagles will end up being the winners over the Commanders. Could this be the year they finally win the Super Bowl? We’ll see if I’m right very soon!
The second game seems a bit familiar since these same two teams faced each other in the final four game last year. In my opinion, I believe that if any team were to beat the Chiefs in the playoffs it would be the Bills. The Bills have been great this year and have one of the best chances of making it to the Super Bowl. Obviously, I still wouldn’t count out the Chiefs because of their standing as the overall champions both last year and the year before in 2023. Let’s see if we’ll have a new champion this year or if the Chiefs will be back to claim their title for the third year in a row. Since the Chiefs and the Bills are playing against each other for the second time at the final game before the Super Bowl, it will make it just as exciting as last year. Which was already an electric game. Both teams are even better this year so it will be an eventful watch. I want to take a risk because I believe that the Bills will beat the Chiefs in a very close match in quarter four.
It’s Super Bowl Time!
Alright Brewster, it is now the week after the Super Bowl was decided. The two teams that are officially going to the Super Bowl are the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. We saw these two teams face off in Super Bowl 57 when the Chiefs won in a crazy game with a score of 35-38. In my honest opinion we can probably expect a similar ending to this Super Bowl. I believe that the Chiefs will win in another close match. It is projected that Mahomes will help take his team to the third victory in a row, which would be the first occurrence in NFL history. It is also possible that we can see a lot from Travis Kelce who has been a star ever since he joined the team for many reasons, some would even argue that he is one of the best wide receivers in history. This might be one of his last seasons in the NFL since he is starting to get older, so a push for another win is most likely on his wish list.
Although, the Eagles are still in the Super Bowl for a reason: they have shown major perseverance and determination throughout the season to make it back to a point where they have a major chance to win. Their Quarterback Jalen Hurts, has been a major key to their success. Since this is Saqon Barkley’s first time in the Super Bowl, he deserves to play on the biggest stage and the most important time. Can Saqon, Jalen, and the rest of the team get a ring for Philly? I guess we’ll just have to see.
By the time this article is out, we might will already know who won the Super Bowl. So make sure to tune in and see if I was correct – Chiefs with a 3 point spread! Pass the chips!
