Super Bowl Time! Get the Gator Sports Staff’s Predictions
January 18, 2020
The Superbowl is nearing, and there are only four more teams in the playoff race. The teams are the Titans, Chiefs, Packers, and the 49ers. The Titans are playing the Chiefs for the AFC Conference championship, and the Packers are playing the 49ers for the NFC conference championship. We predict that the Superbowl will be between the Titans and the 49ers. The Titans had to face the 6-time Superbowl winners, the Patriots, to make it their conference championship. Most of the analysts predicted that the Patriots could easily beat the Titans, but they proved everyone wrong and beat the Patriots 20-13. Then the Titans moved to the divisional round. In the divisional round, they had to face the Ravens, the team with a 14 game win streak. However, the Titans did not give up. They got an early lead, and the help from RB Derrick Henry and the Titans defense helped them move to the conference round.
We acknowledge that the Chiefs did an excellent job in the divisional round, performing a comeback against the Texans when they were losing the first quarter by 21 points but ultimately won by 51-31. However, the Titans faced the two best teams in the league and beat both of them and came to the conference championship. The ability of Titans is what makes us choose the Titans over the Chiefs.
The 49ers and Packers are toughest to pick between because both are two great teams in the offense. However, the 49ers defense showed a dominating performance against the Vikings in the divisional round, and this effort from defense makes them deserving of the Superbowl.
We’re confident in our prediction, but anything can happen. So support your team in the playoffs and don’t forget to have fun!
