Both teams deserve to win the Super Bowl

Chiefs were the best team in the AFC, they also beat the Ravens in the regular season. 49ers are clearly the best of the NFC.

I guess I'm rooting for KC because Andy Reid deserves a Super Bowl title for his career but wouldn't mind if SF won it.

I am rooting for whoever will play the best on Superbowl day. I got nothing riding on either team.

My affection for them grew when Pence referred to them as “Pelosi’s 49ers.”

It should be a great game. Pulling for KC a little bit more but love the 49ers too.

I don't know why the Patriots - my team - didn't take the Lux tax hit and keep him. He clearly could have stepped in next year. Tom Brady could get his payday someplace else next year.

and he got his ass kicked.

Mobility, just like arm strength, does not make a QB "better" or more "dangerous."

not only he is mobile but he is also deadly accurate throwing on the run.
Very few QB's can claim that talent. Mahomes has similar talent.

49er's won because of running game, not their QB. Green Bay was fooled by the trick play runs.
KC has better defense against run. Nevertheless it should be a good game, and my dollar is on KC.

5. Not to mention Patrick Mahomes may well be the best quarterback of all time.

Yeah, I know it's a decade or two too soon to say that, but I don't think any QB in his first two years as a starter has come anywhere near to what this young man has accomplished.

Fifty years from now people will still be speaking in awe about him. And we are now all at the very beginning. Cherish it.

I think he is going to be a quarterback of legend.

This is the very beginning of his career and he's already set a bunch of records, ones that other players didn't set until many more years into their careers.

I would like to see KC win because Andy Reid seems like a nice person who has been through a lot.
