Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 455 Talking on Paper
"Dark Horse vs. Dark Horse", the 2017 NFL Super Bowl is indeed interesting.

It is worth mentioning that for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, they both have the hope of rewriting history and writing their own fairy tale endings. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that should not be missed.

For the Kansas City Chiefs, this will be their third trip to the Super Bowl since 1966 and 1969. 1969 was their only time to reach the top. Returning to the championship stage after years is undoubtedly exciting.

For the Philadelphia Eagles, this is also the third time in the team's history that they have entered the Super Bowl finals. The previous two times were in 1980 and 2004, but they have not won the championship so far. This year is probably the best chance ever.

In the half-century history of the Super Bowl, there are still quite a few teams that have not won any championship trophy, a total of thirteen.

Among them, these teams made it to the Super Bowl but unfortunately failed to reach the top, Buffalo Bills, Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, Los Angeles Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals.

Plus, these teams have never even made it to the Super Bowl: the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans.

Finally, there are the Philadelphia Eagles.

This season, dark horses are dark horses, but the Philadelphia Eagles have indeed played an eye-catching season. They ranked first in the National League in the regular season and made it to the Super Bowl. Their performance is commendable.

Compared with the Kansas City Chiefs, who stumbled, experienced ups and downs, teetered on the edge of a cliff more than once, and danced wildly on the edge of a knife before surviving and advancing to the next round, the Philadelphia Eagles, who had 13 wins and three losses in the regular season and were the No. 1 seed in the National League, should naturally have a slight advantage and take the initiative to be crowned the Super Bowl champion.

Maybe the Philadelphia Eagles will finally end their championship drought this year?
All in all, no matter who reaches the top in the end, they will write their own history and add a highlight to the 2017 season.

However, talking about it on paper is ultimately just an assumption, an interpretation, and the real competition in competitive sports can only be known after real competition.

No one will and should forget that in the second week of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs also defeated the Philadelphia Eagles unexpectedly despite being underdogs. Who knows, maybe Peterson will once again expose his shortcomings in front of his teacher Reid?
Whether it is a mule or a horse, you still need to take it out for a walk to know.

Naturally, some people support the Philadelphia Eagles, while others support the Kansas City Chiefs.

In the unexpected collision of "dark horse vs. dark horse", no one can predict the outcome. In ESPN's "Inside the League" program, the ten professionals also clearly divided into "50:50", half and half, supporting different teams respectively.

Such a evenly matched pre-match analysis has not been seen in many years.

among them.

It is not news that "Levi's fan" Lawson once again supports the Kansas City Chiefs without hesitation. He has consistently supported the Kansas City Chiefs throughout the season, both at peak and trough. This has made Lawson famous and earned him the title of Bole, and he has grown up shoulder to shoulder with Levi and the Chiefs.

Lawson is not a brainless blower, his analysis always remains calm and objective.

In Lawson's view, the Kansas City Chiefs' playoff journey has withstood time and time again, from Henry's ground impact to Brady's passing attack to the Jacksonville Jaguars' league-leading defensive blockade. Each opponent represents a level, becoming a force for the continuous growth and upgrading of this young team, prompting the team's ultimate transformation.

One step, one footprint.

When the Kansas City Chiefs stepped onto the stage of the Super Bowl final, they were ready to face any challenge.

There is no doubt that Lawson's point of view is a new approach, which is jokingly called "monster-killing and upgrade mode" by netizens, witnessing the growth of a young team. If the Kansas City Chiefs really win the championship this season, then the team's playoff promotion journey can be completely described as a breakthrough and upgrade, completing a transformation in every game.

To some extent, Lawson does capture a key point:

growing up.

Because Lawson also knows that the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are still young, immature, incomplete, and not strong enough, and neither team is sure to win. In the end, it all depends on the performance at the critical moment, so he also regards Super Bowl 52 as a battle of transformation. And, he stands firmly behind the league's biggest discovery of the season:

Levi.

This is the source of Lawson's confidence and belief.

Lawson's views are popular not only among netizens but also within the "league"; after the show was broadcast, they continued to be popular on social networks.

And what about "Levi Black" Bart?

In the last game, the Kansas City Chiefs were selected, which was unexpectedly successful, leaving Bart confused again. He didn't even know whether he should celebrate.

This also proves once again that Bart and Levi are incompatible.

If the prediction is wrong, he will feel frustrated; if the prediction is correct, he will also feel frustrated.

So, in the last game of the season, how should Bart stand? Facing the Super Bowl prediction, after careful consideration, Bart finally chose -

"Philadelphia."

Bart swore that he had no intention of targeting Levi and that his analysis was completely objective; of course, he did not deny that he could not stand seeing Levi continue to show off and win. If Levi were allowed to reach the Super Bowl, there was no telling how rampant he would be next season. Now one could imagine the entire league being filled with people praising Levi's merits and worshipping him. Just imagining it gave me goosebumps all over.

But in the final analysis, it is still a rational judgment.

Bart launched into his analysis eloquently.

From the Kansas City Chiefs offense against the Philadelphia Eagles defense, from the Philadelphia Eagles offense against the Kansas City Chiefs defense, from the Kansas City Chiefs special teams against the Philadelphia Eagles special teams, we analyze them group by group.

Finally, Bart concluded:

The Philadelphia Eagles have a slight advantage, especially Peterson's great progress in on-the-spot command in the two playoff games, which gives Butt enough confidence.

Just look at the opening in Las Vegas and you will know that the odds have been changing. It is obvious that the professionals in Las Vegas are more optimistic about the Philadelphia Eagles. As time goes by, more and more ordinary people choose the Philadelphia Eagles, so that Las Vegas has to further lower the odds of the Philadelphia Eagles.

From professionals to the general audience, they are slightly more optimistic about the Philadelphia Eagles.

The gap is not obvious, but the balance of victory and defeat is indeed gradually tilting, and the Philadelphia Eagles' chances seem to be slightly ahead by half a body length.

However, when producing a program, they cannot be conservative or dull, they still need to create some conflicts and contradictions to increase audience stickiness.

“… I don’t see Kansas coming to the top.”

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Sure enough, when it comes to inciting hatred, Bart is unmatched. With just one sentence, he defeated all the supporters and opponents of the Kansas Chiefs and became a strong figure.
