Man that XXIII superbowl was amazing. Those niners were just too much, both sides of the ball.

This current niners team has an indomitable personality, both sides of the ball. That is especially true of the linemen. They’re gonna be hard to beat.

[Migraine]

Last round yes. That ‘s what makes this such a story — last PLAYER chosen, last round = “Mr. Irrelevant”, the unenviable distinction.

Well, the boy is lighting it up, unflappable and gifted.

In the Chiefs versus Bengals I have to go with what team can have an Amazing performance = Chiefs

In the Eagles versus the 49rs I want to see Purdy win but I am going to have to pick the Eagles.

WHO DEY!!!

[ScottinVA]

My heart cheers for the 49ers and I want them to take the Lombardi, but my head says they won’t get past the Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. Whatever happens, it’s been one hell of a run for them this year.

Cincinnati over Kansas City

I said six weeks ago the 49ers were going to the Super Bowl, so no changing horses now. The Niners will beat the Eagles thanks to their smothering defense and Brock Purdy's Cinderella season continues.

As for the Bengals - Chiefs.... Hmm. Mahomes will not be one hundred percent, and Burrow and the Bengals looked pretty damn good last week. I think they sustain that level of play. The Bengals return to the Super Bowl.

Good luck everyone!

Wasn’t SF’s QB a last round draft pick?

Last pick of the last round!

[Jim W N]

#1 SF
#4 KC

SF beats KC in the Super Bowl.

Notes:

The SF-Bengals game is effectively the Super Bowl because they are the two best teams left standing. Of the four quadrants of pass/run/offense/defense, the only weakness in this game is the Eagles run defense.

KC’s #1 offense usually makes up for their mediocre defense (even when Mahomes is not 100%). However KC’s mediocre defense may be their undoing against the surging Bengals who looked like the best team last weekend.

Toodles.

Bengals: I was leaning towards KC until I heard Reid talking about how he had a special offensive plan to cover for Mahomes being hurt and I remembered that he's chocked big time in like 9 championship games and decided that if Mahomes needs Reid to step up in a big game, forget it.

Eagles: Home field matters. Plus rookie depite all the praise Purdy looked shaky last week but Cowboys kept dropping the balls he threw to them. Eagles will pressure him all day from all sides and our secondary doesn't drop balls like the Cowboys.

Eagles, Bengals.

Waiting to see injury report before calling next round.

[ro_dreaming]

Hey Impy - let’s go Bengals over Chiefs and I’ll take the Eagles over 49’ers.

Eagles and Chiefs, Kelce brothers Super Bowl

[scrabblehack]

Yep. I hate the “Mr. Irrelevant” designation. The last pick in the draft clearly has a higher chance of making the team than an undrafted free agent.

Birds vs. Chefs

The Kelce Bros. reunion plus beating a former Coach is too delicious to
pass on. Go Birds.
