NFL Super Bowl Prediction

By: Henry Jones

After a long summer break off of cranking out entertaining blogs for everyone in the digital media class, I have had time to refresh my thoughts on my ground breaking sports takes. Which means I am ready to drop more predictions on major sports events such as the Super Bowl. My first prediction of the year is a bold one. Normally I would show bias and say that the Arizona Cardinals (my favorite team) would be taking home the hardware this year, but new year new me. I do believe Cardinals have a good chance at winning the division, the offense just isn’t fully there yet. Now, there are many teams I feel have a shot at the Super Bowl this year. One is the winners of last year, the Philadelphia Eagles. They are still a very strong team despite losing key pieces on defense. Another team, as always, is the Kansas City Chiefs. In my opinion, any team with Patrick Mahomes at the helm is a Super Bowl contender cause he is a straight dog. A negative about this team is Travis Kelce recently getting engaged to that witch, Taylor Swift. Whenever they started dating she stole all his talent and turned him into some hermit crab. Finally, I truly believe that the New York Jets have a real shot this year at the Super Bowl. They have two up and coming offensive linemen and two stud running backs. Also with the addition of Justin Fields they have very solid quarterback play that they haven’t had in multiple years. In conclusion, with the adding of all these new, young pieces, I’d be willing to bet the life of Milling Galloway that the Jets will be taking home the gold this year. This is easy money.

Super Bowl Review

By: Knox Buxton

This year’s Super Bowl was a rematch from 2023 between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kansas City Chiefs were comin off of back to back Super Bowl wins against Philadelphia and San Francisco. Everyone I had talked to about the Super Bowl this year said they thought the Chiefs were going to get it, especially after going 15-2 in the regular season. I called the Super Bowl back at the beginning of the season and said it would be Philiadelphia and Kansas City and Philadelphia would win. I knew once the Eagles added Saquon Barkley and having one of the best defenses in the league, they had too many weapons. The game started out with both teams being forced to punt. The Eagles got on the board first with a tush push touchdown by Jalen Hurts. A few drives later, Jalen Hurts threw an interception and that is when I thought the Chiefs would start heating up and make it an entertaining game to watch, but I was wrong. Philadelphia forced a three and out and then Jalen Hurts hooked up with AJ Brown for a long passing play and it ended up with the Eagles scoring a field goal to go up ten to nothing. The next drive, Patrick Mahomes threw a pick six to rookie cornerback, Cooper Dejean. Once the Eagles took a seventeen to nothing lead and looked unstoppable, I knew it would be hard for the Chiefs to come back. Right before halftime, Patrick Mahomes threw another interception to Zack Baun on their own side of the field and it led to an AJ Brown receiving touchdown. When the Eagles went up 24-0 at halftime, I knew the game was just about over. The Eagles were dominating every aspect of the game and pressuring Mahomes consistently. The second half was really just more of the same with Philadelphia taking a 34-0 lead before the Chiefs started padding the stats. Kansas City’s last second stat padding was made them able to make the game a little closer before losing 40-22. Jalen Hurts won the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player even though I thought there were a lot of Eagle player that I thought deserved it. In my opinion, I would have just given it to the whole defensive line after how they got after Patrick Mahomes and forced him into making bad plays. I sincerely enjoyed watching the Eagles Beat down the Chiefs and showing everyone Kansas City isn’t all that.

WHY THE EAGLES?

By: Carson Wilsey

The Philadelphia Eagles are making their return, and they appear ready to win, so this year’s Super Bowl showdown is sure to be thrilling. The Eagles’ strong and well-rounded roster has been on full display throughout the season. With both his arm and his legs, quarterback Jalen Hurts has shown himself to be one of the league’s most dynamic athletes. Hurts has provided the Eagles an advantage that other teams have found difficult to match because of his ability to prolong plays and make critical decisions under stress. The Eagles are among the most powerful teams in the NFL in a significant way because of Hurts’ athleticism, poise, and development as a passer. 

The Eagles’ defense, in addition to Hurts, is a key component of their chances of winning the Super Bowl. With exceptional players such as Jordan Davis,a beast of a d-lineman, among their roster, the team has an intimidating defensive line. One of the Eagles’ greatest strengths this season has been their ability to consistently put pressure on opposing quarterbacks, and this ability will be vital in the Super Bowl. Additionally, their defense is excellent at stopping the run and covering passes, which makes it hard for opponents to establish a rhythm. Philadelphia’s defense will be difficult for any offense to overcome because of its strong blend of youthful energy and experience, which enables them to contain some of the most electric teams.

The Eagles, led by head coach Nick Sirianni, are a well-coached group in addition to having outstanding athletic ability on the field. Sirianni has continuously placed his players in successful situations and demonstrated remarkable game management abilities, because of his innovative and flexible playcalling, the Eagles have been able to succeed in a variety of offensive and defensive schemes. Sirianni’s ability to remain composed under pressure will be essential during the Super Bowl, and his leadership has helped his players perform at their highest level. The Eagles are ready for victory because they have a quality squad, excellent coaching, and the capacity to perform well under pressure. They are destine to take down the Cheifs and end their hope at a three peatnin this year’s Super Bowl because of their  well-balanced roster and outstanding coaching.

Who Will Win the Super Bowl

By: Stirling Tindal

The 56th Super Bowl is this Sunday and the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are sitting at a record of 14-3 and have by far the best running back in the league. The Chiefs have a 15-2 record and really don’t have any outstanding players this year, but Patrick Mahomes and Andy Ried always find a way to win games.

I believe that this will be a close game with a higher score because of both teams’ explosive offenses. By the end of the first quarter I predict that the score will be 10-7 Eagles. Saquon will start off hot because the Chiefs won’t fully know how to stop him; however after the first quarter they will figure things out.

 At half time it will be tied 17-17 with the second quarter ending with a last second Chiefs field goal. Both teams will have a great first half with many yards on offense. The key to winning the second half is who is disciplined enough to stop either of these offenses consistently.

Entering the third quarter, I believe that whichever team receives the ball will have a huge turnover in the red zone on the opening drive. It won’t be a super thrilling third quarter and the score will be 24-17 Chiefs. At this point Andy Reid will have figured out how to stop Saquon, getting rid of the Eagles X-factor. With our Saquon controlling the game, the Eagles won’t be able to get anything going.

In the fourth quarter, the key to winning the game will be turnovers. Both teams will need to hold on to the ball and not make dumb decisions. The game will most certainly come down to the wire. I predict there will be two touchdown scoring drives by both teams in the final two minutes. The Chiefs will have the first touchdown in the two minutes, thinking they can hold on to the lead. Jalen Hurts will then lead the Eagles offense down the field in a final 30 seconds drive to win the game 34-31.

 Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will not be able to three-peat and Jalen Hurts and the Eagles will start a new dynasty.

Super Bowl Predictions

By: Cooper Scott

My Super Bowl predictions are the Chiefs are going to beat Jalen Hurts and the Eagles, also predict some of the betting lines. The first betting line is that the national anthem will go under 2 minutes. The opening kickoff will be a touchback. Taylor Swift will be shown on camera more than 4 times. I will also predict that the eagles will get the ball first. The first quarter on the opening drive of the game after the eagles get two first downs Jalen Hurts will throw an interception to Trent Mcduffie on the Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes will get his first drive of the Super Bowl and take his team down the field and Harrison Butker will kick a field goal and make it. The eagles will get on offense once again and Jalen Hurts is going to throw a Touchdown pass to Devonta smith. The Chiefs are going to go three and out and that is the end of the first quarter. On the Eagles opening Drive of the second quarter Saquon is going to tote the rock all the way down the field and the Eagles will settle for a field goal. So with 9 minutes to go in the 2nd Quarter the score is Eagles 10 Chiefs 3. The Chiefs are going to have a long drive all the way down the field and will score a touchdown with Travis Kelce. Jalen Hurts will have 2 minutes and is going to go down the field and the eagles will settle for a field goal. The score at halftime will be 10- 13 Eagles. The opening drive of the third quarter the chiefs are going to go all the down the field and score a touchdown with Isiah Pacheco. The Eagles are going to throw an interception, and the and the chiefs are going get a field goal and go up 20 to 13. The Eagles are going to go three and out, and the chiefs are going to throw an interception, and there will be a big momentum swing. Saquon Barkely breaks a 40 yard touchdown run and that’s the end of the 3rd quarter. Both the Chiefs and Eagles next drives end with a three and out, and the Chiefs get the ball and Xavier Worthy scores a touchdown ,and the Eagles will get a field goal. So with 5 minutes left the score is 30-27 the eagles. The Chiefs will get the ball and come to a 4th and 11 and throw up a deep ball and get a pass interference. Patrick Mahomes will run for a touchdown and the Chiefs will go up 34-30. Jalen Hurts will choke and throw an interception and the Chiefs will win the Superbowl.

Reasons for the Kansas City Chiefs’ Victory in Super Bowl LVIII

By Tyler Jordan

As anticipation for Super Bowl LVIII grows, the Kansas City Chiefs are in a position to create history once more. The Chiefs have everything they need for another championship run, including an outstanding roster, a head coach with a clear vision, and a starting quarterback who is rapidly claiming his place among the greatest in football history.

Patrick Mahomes is the dog behind Kansas City’s success. Perhaps the NFL’s most captivating player is who is currently MVP of the Super Bowl. He stands out from other quarterbacks due to their capacity to execute accurate throws from any platform under pressure. Mahomes is almost tough to defend because of his strategic skills, arm power, and mobility. Very few teams can match the Chiefs advantage under Mahomes’ leadership.

 Also It is impossible to overestimate Andy Reid’s impact on the The Chiefs, one of the most successful and highly regarded coaches in NFL history. The foundation of Reid’s creative offensive strategies is flexibility and unpredictableness, which keeps opposition defenders guessing. The Chiefs’ success may be attributed in large part to its ability to adapt and make judgments during play that create scoring opportunities.

Additionally, Reid has constantly readied his squad for the most important situations. With his leadership skills and coaching experience in several Super Bowls, the Chiefs are prepared to manage pressure when it counts most.

The Chiefs have a roster full of talented players on both sides of the ball, even though Mahomes frequently takes center stage. One of the greatest tight ends of all time, Travis Kelce, is still Mahomes’ top target because he can cause mismatches everywhere on the field. With their big-play potential, the Chiefs’ wide receivers, such as Marquez Valdes-Scantling and the quick and elusive Kadarius Toney, put pressure on defenses.

Kansas City has improved in recent seasons on defense. The Chiefs can cause turnovers and disrupt opposing quarterbacks with players like Chris Jones leading the charge in the trenches. In addition to its offensive prowess, this well-rounded club can make game-changing plays on defense just as well.

 Overall I say the Chiefs will win because they are used to this environment and have the coaching and players that can handle this stressful game.

Who Will Win The Super Bowl?

By: Henry Jones

The Super Bowl trophy is one of the most coveted awards in all of sports. Some would eve say that it is the greatest accomplishment. This upcoming Super Bowl will definitely be a great matchup between two formidable teams. If I’m being honest I really don’t want either of them to win because I hate the Chiefs and the Eagles. It’s a tough call, but if I had to guess, I’d say it could be a close game. The Eagles have a strong, well-rounded team with a solid defense and an explosive offense. But the Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes, and he’s always a threat. If Mahomes stays healthy and plays at his best, the Chiefs might have the edge. But overall, it could go either way depending on how the game plays out. 

The Eagles could win the Super Bowl because they have a really strong all-around team. Their defense is tough and able to put pressure on quarterbacks, which could be a key factor against the Chiefs. Their offense is also high-powered, with Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley playing at an MVP-level, and they have great weapons like A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Plus, the Eagles have a strong offensive line that helps with both the running and passing game, making it tough for any defense to stop them. If they play solid, mistake-free football and control the line of scrimmage, they could come out on top. 

On the other hand the Chiefs could win the Super Bowl because they have Patrick Mahomes, one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and he can make incredible plays under pressure. Even when things aren’t going perfectly, Mahomes can turn a game around with his arm and playmaking ability. On top of that, the Chiefs have an explosive offense with weapons like Travis Kelce, who is a big mismatch for any defense. Their defense has also stepped up in key moments, and if they can limit mistakes and take advantage of their opportunities, they could definitely win. Mahomes’ ability to perform in clutch moments is a huge reason they might come out on top.

Best Super Bowl Performances In The Past

By: Lucy Buxton

It is no secret that this year’s halftime Super Bowl performance has been very controversial. Most people, Including me, don’t feel like it was that entertaining or good. That is just my opinion but I did think it was very repetitive and the halftime performances should be more of someone who sings, rather than a rapper. Maybe bring in a rapper to add along to the excitement but I don’t think that should be the whole show. I also like the older generations probably didn’t enjoy it because that’s not the kind of music most people that age listen to.

One of my personal favorite performers at the Super Bowl was Chris Stapleton. He didn’t perform during halftime but he did perform that National Anthem before. It was just beautiful. I think I have shown every one of my family members and friends the video of him singing it at least ten times. It was flawless and very classy. He didn’t try to put some weird “pop” twist to it like most people do in front of a crowd that big. He really just did as he always does and it left me and many others speechless and it’s no secret why. Just look it up.

Moving on. Katy Perry. Whether you love her or hate her you can’t ignore how iconic her performance was. She had props that were incredible, especially when she sang her hit “Roar” on top of a huge silver lion. All the songs had a completely different vibe but still kept people engaged. Another big thing was her backup dancers. They all had costumes to fir each song and all did cool moves that looked professional. This factor has been lacking in recent years. She also has some cool people to sing along with her that seemed to keep people on their toes. I’m playing the performance as I’m writing this and it doesn’t even compare to recent years, it simply puts them to shame. The whole time I’m thinking, How did she change so fast? During Kendrick Lamars, I was so underwhelmed. He stayed in the same outfit and with the same back up dancers that seemed to just walk around and follow him. The only cool thing he did was bring out Serena Williams. It was pretty underwhelming to me and all the people I watched it with.

All that to say, Let’s hope they up their game next year.

What If?

By: Carson Wilsey

Super Bowl XLIX, February 1, 2015, is well-known for its miraculous ending in the final seconds of play. With only 26 seconds remaining, the Seattle Seahawks were behind 28–24 and on the verge of losing. The Seahawks were positioned on the New England Patriots,1-yard line and it appeared as though they would win the game with a last-minute touchdown. With so much at risk, the play calling became crucial needing close examination and discussion.

Unexpectedly, Darrell Bevell, the offensive coordinator for Seattle, decided to call a pass play rather than running the ball. Considering how effectively running back Marshawn Lynch performs in situations involving short yardage, the selection was controversial. On the play, Malcolm Butler, the rookie cornerback for the Patriots who was about to make a name for himself, was covering wide receiver Ricardo Lockette, quarterback Russell Wilson dropped back to attempt a pass to Lockette. Butler, who had a terrific read on the play, jumped the route and made a huge interception to put the Patriots ahead for good. This play, which significantly changed the game’s outcome and gained the Patriots’ a 28-24 victory, was a turning point in both Super Bowl history and the game itself.

Considering Lynch’s strong presence on the field, many have questioned the decision to pass rather than run on the closing play of Super Bowl XLIX. In addition to demonstrating Butler’s defensive greatness, the interception highlighted the intense nature of the game and how any play or decision may result in history. The game’s storyline may be impacted by a single moment in sports, as seen by this play, which makes Super Bowl XLIX one of the most famous and controversial Super Bowls in NFL history.
