Defense still trumps offense in Super Bowl
Everyone seems to think offense rules in todayÎÞëÊÓÆµ™s NFL and, therefore, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs (-1) will triumph over Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers today. Funny, it was just a year ago the Patriots topped the Rams in the lowest scoring (13-3) ÎÞëÊÓÆµ” and most boring ÎÞëÊÓÆµ” Super Bowl ever. It helped that the Rams had no business being there, it shouldÎÞëÊÓÆµ™ve been the Saints, which wouldÎÞëÊÓÆµ™ve made for a much better match-up. Defense is still important and San FranÎÞëÊÓÆµ™s is better than KCÎÞëÊÓÆµ™s, although it will be put to the test today by a red-hot offense. The Chiefs defense has played better of late but I still see the 49ersÎÞëÊÓÆµ™ running game controlling the ball and taking some of the pressure off Jimmy G so that heÎÞëÊÓÆµ™ll have enough time to make some splash plays. Mahomes will have his moments but I still see San FranÎÞëÊÓÆµ™s defense slowing him up just enough to win. I also give Kyle Shanahan the edge over Andy Reid in a match-up of wits. Take the under (54.5). 49ers 27, Chiefs 26.
