This weekend we find out who will meet in the Super Bowl, as the NFL season winds down. Seems like it just started, but it’s almost February.
Last weekend, I went 3-1 straight up but an even more impressive 4-0 versus the spread. Leaving me at 6-4 in the postseason, both straight up and versus the spread. Let’s see how I do this week:
Kansas City at Baltimore
I really, really want to pick Baltimore. I very much want to see the Ravens win and I want to see Lamar Jackson in the Super Bowl. Not only that, but I think Baltimore is the superior team, BUT this is Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. They’re the new Brady & the Patriots, bet against them at your own risk. Add in that the Chiefs have played their best football the last two weeks and I’m taking KC. Chiefs (+4) 23-20.
Detroit at San Francisco
I picked the Niners to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl at the beginning of the playoffs, I thought they’d have a cakewalk to Vegas, but it’s turned into a battle. Green Bay gave them all they could handle last week, and now they host a Lions team that seems to have a date with destiny. San Fran may or may not have Deebo Samuel for this one, but I’m still picking them to win. I will take the Lions (+7.5) and the points, though. 49ers 30-24.
