Super Bowl LX

This all worked out great for me. 

The one year that the Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes are not in the AFC Championship game...

The Patriots got exposed as frauds in the Super Bowl. They get the Super Bowl Loss Hangover. Most importantly, they don't get 7 franchise Super Bowls. The top of the Mountain is still Pats/Steelers with 6. The Chiefs are sitting at 4. Mahomes is 30. The idea that by the time Mahomes is 42, the Chiefs could be at 6 or 7 is not that crazy.

Also, this Seahawks defense was legit. I know it's blasphemy, but which would help the Chiefs win the most Super Bowls?

1. Drag a 10-7 wild card team to the Super Bowl and get hammered by the Seahawks dominant defense and be saddled with another Super Bowl Loss Hangover.

2. Mini-tank for a year, get a top 10 pick, feel rejuvenated and motivated and get a 3rd place schedule in 2026. 

We've seen that actually being an awful team in the NFL does not lead to turnarounds. But we have seen good teams be bad for a year and have it pay off. The one year Peyton Manning got hurt, the Colts drafted Andrew Luck and stayed good. 

Also, hilarious that the year that Mahomes sits it out, none of Burrow/Lamar/Allen even make it to the AFC Championship. 

The Broncos will still have a good defense, but they wasted the year where they had a horseshoe up the ass. Now they get the first-place schedule. (The 17th game has made this have a bigger impact with 3 affected games instead of just 2)

And I owned the Seahawks and Patriots in Calcutta. Plus, the Rams for good measure.

I delivered the following prediction in a voice message, so for posterity:

Before LX, I thought this Patriots SB appearance was not good for their chances of winning a Super Bowl from 2025-2035. I didn't think they were ready to win this year and I though this hangover would hurt their chances in the next two years. Maybe they come back in 3-5 years but I think they would have been better off falling short of the big game. Stay hungry. 

If you had to bet on Pats Super Bowls over the next ten years and Chiefs Super Bowls, I'm taking Chiefs and it's not close.
