Some afterthoughts:
A few of my friends thought I was nuts going with the Patriots. They’re feelings were based primarily on the Chiefs record at home versus the Patriots record in away games. Yes, the Chiefs had a very good record at home, but did anyone take notice of which quarterbacks they actually beat in each of those home wins? And then they face a good QB like Rivers and lose (at home).
So, having already beaten the Chiefs during the regular season, and then putting on a show while demoralizing the Chargers, I thought the Patriots (and the over) were a pretty good bet.
The Super bowl presents some interesting team comparisons. One thing I’ll be looking at is how each team came out of their playoff victory.
