Super Bowl LV
Venue: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida.
Sunday 7th February Time: 23:30 GMT.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (AFC) 9
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (NFC) 31
The final game of the 2020-21 NFL season takes place in Tampa Bay, Florida home of the Buccaneers. This is the first time in the history of the NFL that a team has reached the Superbowl to play at their home stadium. A game that features two of the most exciting teams in the NFL this season Kansas City Chiefs the defending Champions will take on Tampa Bay Buccaneers on 7th February. The opening ceremonies will include Country music singer Eric Church and R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan who will perform the national anthem, while the halftime show will be headlined by Canadian singer The Weeknd.
As defending Super Bowl Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs are currently the bookies favourites and have an outstanding offensive led by Patrick Mahomes, who hopefully is fully recovered from some slight injury scares. He will face the six time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady, Tampa Bay's new quarterback Brady will be playing in his record 10th Super Bowl, and with COVID-19 health restrictions limiting stadium capacity to around 25,000 fans, it will be the lowest attended Super Bowl, being broadcast around the world including live on BBC TV here in Uk we will not miss a thing.This end of season extravaganza is a big night in my calendar and will make a night of it where the main challenge for myself will be can I keep awake to catch it all, or will I be asleep before the half time show. The game is live on the BBC1 channel on Sunday night from 23:30 there is also a show on BBC2 from 23:00 with all the build up. Dan Walker presents the NFL weekly show now having taken over from Mark Chapman earlier in the season, but I hear that Mark will be back for the Super Bowl which is great as we wasn't given the send off mid season that he deserved. He will be joined by two-time Super Bowl winner Osi Umenyiora, former NFL cornerback Jason Bell and a host of guests from the world of American football including Mike Carlson. Time to rustle up some snacks, grab a few beers and settle down to enjoy the action, at least this year we don't have to be up early for work in the morning.
Odds 20/33F
(5/6 with -3 points handicap)
As defending Super Bowl Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs recorded an NFL-best 14–2 record in 2020 under eighth year head coach Andy Reid. Other than a 40–32 loss against the Las Vegas Raiders in week 4, their only defeat was in the final game of the season, when they decided to rest most of their starters because they had already clinched the #1 seed in the playoffs. This appearance will be the Chiefs' fourth trip to the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes staring in the Quarterback position they also have plenty of offensive superstars with the likes of Tyreek Hill (wide receiver) and Travis Kelce (tight end) two to keep an eye on and expect them to be on the receiving end of some Mahomes magic. Head Coach Andy Reid is also a great tactician and not afraid of making brave play calls as he showed with a 4th down play against Cleveland in the playoffs to effectively end the game.
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Odds 29/20
(20/21 with +3 Points Handicap)
The Buccaneers saw off the challenge of Green Bay in a dominate 31-26 win with quarterback Tom Brady guiding them to his 10th appearance in a Super Bowl having won six of them for the New England Patriots. An outstanding achievement in his first season with the Buccaneers and even recovered from being picked/sacked a number of times. Had to perform at his best to see off both Drew Brees (New Orleans) and Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay). Also has a huge amount of offensive weapons to use, wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin have been outstanding all season while he has a well established long relationship with tight end Rob Gronkowski and it will be interesting to watch who he uses most. Head coach Bruce Arians had his first coaching role with Kansas City, and has developed into an outstanding offensive mentor, Arians is a two-time Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year, earning the award in 2012 (Indianapolis Colts) and in 2014 (Arizona Cardinals).
