Super Bowl-winning MVP quarterback forecasts Mahomes, Chiefs win

Super Bowl-winning MVP quarterback Joe Theismann forecasted that the Kansas City Chiefs will win Super Bowl LV over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend, as millions enjoy the face-off in between quarterbacks Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes. 

“I think Patrick’s legs give them an advantage, and Tom’s going to have to be as hot as he’s ever been, but I’m going to pick Kansas City in this one,” stated the previous Washington quarterback on CNBC’s “The News with Shepard Smith.” 

Brady will make his tenth Super Bowl look versus in 2015’s Super Bowl MVP Mahomes at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. Brady was the last quarterback to win 2 Lombardi prizes in a row. Mahomes remained in kindergarten when Tom Brady won his very first Super Bowl with the Patriots back in 2002. 

Theismann informed host Shepard Smith that Super Bowl LV is among the most considerable quarterback matches in history since of the age distinction in between the 2 quarterbacks. 

“It’s such a great story between the grizzled veteran who’s probably going to go at least another couple of years and the young kid that looks like the heir apparent,” Theismann stated.

Hall of Fame sports reporter Jerry Green has actually covered every Super Bowl considering that the very first one in 1967. Green informed “The News with Shepard Smith” that while he has fantastic adoration for Brady, he believes Johnny Unitas was the very best there ever was. 

It will be the very first Super Bowl to ever be hosted by a house group, however Theismann does not believe it will supply a benefit to the Bucs. 

“Kansas City has basically stayed home, Tampa Bay is at home, so both of the teams have had an opportunity to be able to control the environment that they’re in, in the hopes of making sure that nobody late shows up with Covid and all of a sudden something has to change, so I don’t really see it as that big an advantage right now,” discussed Theismann.

The NFL and the gamers have actually needed to adjust to play amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Both the Bucs and Chiefs, for instance, have actually gone through screening 2 times a day rather of simply as soon as considering that they won their championship game video games. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell used President Joe Biden all 30 of the league’s arenas as mass vaccination websites. 

“The NFL and our 32 member clubs are committed to doing our part to ensure that vaccines are as widely accessible in our communities as possible,” composed Goodell. “To that end, each NFL team will make its stadium available for mass vaccinations of the general public in coordination with local, state, and federal health officials.” 

Goodell included that 7 NFL arenas are currently being utilized as mega vaccination websites throughout the nation. 

Despite this unmatched nature of the season and of the Super Bowl, Theismann stated he would not be amazed to see 43-year-old Brady on the field for a couple more years. 

“If you have the ability to be able to throw the ball like Tom has done, and the protection that he gets, 45 is conceivable,” stated Theismann. “He’s not going away quietly.”
