It’s a bittersweet weekend for football fans, in that it’s the biggest game of the year, but also the last one; which team walks out of Houston with the trophy?

Man, it could have been us, said fans of The Kansas City Chiefs, but a heartbreak loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the divisional round of the 2016 playoffs saw KC’s hope crash. So while it has still been fun to watch the remaining games this postseason, it is just not the same if the red and gold are not in there.

The AFC is being representing once again but the Bill Belichick and Tom Brady led New England Patriots. Brady has been to the show a staggering, and NFL record, seven times and winning four; including Super Bowl XLIX, with that crazy game ending interception of Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson. Brady is looking to stand alone with five Super Bowl victories, surpassing greats like Joe Montana.

The NFC is seeing the Atlanta Falcons led by MVP candidate Matt Ryan, with the NFL’s number one offense. This marks the second time the Falcons have made the show, losing their first game to John Elway’s Denver Broncos.

This marks the eighth time in the Super Bowl era that the number one offense meets the number one defense in a battle for best in the NFL. So I wanted to take a minute to not talk about my beloved Kansas City Chiefs, and instead give my two thoughts one these two teams, and who wins Super Bowl LI.
