A shout out to thisistheshow- the only legitimate vote I saw.
He picked Tampa Bay in the poll Galaxy did BEFORE the playoffs started and he picked them in this poll.
The rest of you, really?, do overs? Have you no honor, especially those of you who picked the Bills and
now pick the Chiefs.
Okay this is tongue in cheek but I did enjoy those of you who are now switching to the Chiefs.

I also picked the Bucs in galaxy ‘s SB picks poll before the playoffs started as well. With my vote there was three of us that chose TB before the games started.

Almost no one is picking the Bucs. I see them winning. What do you think they need to do to win?

Most importantly they need everyone to be healthy by game time. Brown,Evans & Godwin are a must as is getting back rookie safety Antoine Winfield Jr who was really good for them this year. If there offense is full strength they should definitely be able to keep pace with that Chiefs offense. Just as important,Brady can’t be turning the ball over three times like this past Sunday,those picks really didn’t hurt them in the end because GB couldn’t take advantage of them. I don’t see KC’s offense having that same problem.
It should be a very entertaining game that hopefully ends with Tom holding another SB MVP trophy

Chiefs. It won't be close.

As a Tampa area resident, I could not vote any other way. I said that the Bucks would lose to New Oleans and Green Bay, but they beat them. So I won't vote against this team.

I am shocked the poll is at 50/50

Can I assume that football spirits are high in the Tampa area?

It's the GOAT. There is always a chance. 28-3...... They neat the Saints and Green Bay on the road to get here.

Sounds good. I'd like to add that if one or two Bucs play well enough to get the MVP over Brady, that will give them the best chance to win. Like a two interception game, multiple sacks, or three rushing TDs kind of game.

I’d love to see him get #7 but the Chiefs are the Chiefs. They are insanely good with Mahomes in there

I know, I know. For some reason I just can't pick against him. If the Patriots were playing the Bucs ( and they will next year) I root for the Patriots all day. But I feel a surprisingly huge amount of that belly fire for Brady to win this thing. And I understand you aren't talking about rooting for one team or the other, but rather that the Chiefs are the better team. Still, it's like I just wouldn't feel right picking the Chiefs to win even if I am rooting for the Bucs. It's weird.

After a dozen years of not even making it into the Play-offs, let alone the Super Bowl, you better believe it.

after 20 years of watching brady with NE, I will NEVER bet against him.

I want him to win but I picked the Chiefs when we did this prior to the playoffs starting so I have to stick with my original pick. I actually wanted the Browns to beat KC given that I am a huge OU fan.

A vintage 7/140/3 type of game from Gronk would be nice.

This. For the Bucs to win, it has to be someone else stepping it up big time and Brady needs to be Brady.

I love Brady, and even though I don’t think Kansas City can put the kind of pressure on him like in his 1st two Super Bowl losses, I don’t think he can outscore Mahomes the way he can put up the score. Look at the way Mahomes came to dominate San Francisco’s defense last year. And if it’s a high scoring game, I don’t think Brady will be able to outscore Mahomes. Brady couldn’t even outscore Nick Foles, who can’t even beat out Mich Trubiscuit.

I still say the betting line should be around -5 for the Chiefs as mentioned in another thread.

There could be just a little bit too much Bradymania going on out there right now. I'm not saying Brady doesn't deserve it at 43 years old with his great career, but i think that may be affecting the betting line.

Is there any reason to think it's being kept at three because of the home field thing? Or that atleast that'll be the narrative we hear later?

I'm Just spitballin 😜

I think you're right, even though technically the Super Bowl doesn't completely offer the advantages of crowd noise to a local team in the Super Bowl because with the tickets sold all over the country, there will be a variety of fans in the stands. And I've read where there will only be around 14,500 fans allowed into the stadium anyway, along with around 7,500 invited health care workers which was pretty nice of the league to do that.

How this all plays out in the final result is anyone's guess.

In any event, i'm sure the media pundits have a storyline already written regarding how this, that, or the other resulted in a particular team winning the game, when in all likelihood it was just a coincidence. LOL
