There's an XFL starting on February 18th. These things have never really worked though, albeit the 2020 attempt was unlucky to run into Covid.

1 - 1 which brings me to 183 -101 overall

The 49ers must be the most cursed team with injuries but in saying that the Eagles look very impressive on both sides of the ball.

Chiefs did enough to get through and considering their own injury issues they also deserve a lot of credit.

2/2 a 100% round for me, first and only person to ever achieve it and puts me top of the leaderboard, uncatchable with only 1 game to go.

Actually I've gotten every game right this year, just forgot to post the first 20/21 weeks or so but it still counts, better luck next time.

183-101 coming in:

Chiefs @ Eagles

I really have no idea who's going to win this one so I just went with who I think the better QB is. Two great teams who've both had great seasons, be happy to see either of them win it. Just hope it's close and exciting.

Man Vs ManUre · 10-02-2023 10:01am

Eagles to win it.

183-101 overall

Chiefs @ Eagles

It's really hard to call to be honest. The Eagles have looked the more dominant team in the playoffs although they definitely got a lucky break with the 49ers injuries.

Carr trade or release needs to happen by Wednesday so that will take up a news cycle or two as soon as the SB result has been picked over

Man Vs ManUre · 10-02-2023 9:25pm

The turtle has picked Philadelphia.

1-1 and I had picked the chief’s initially but changed my mind.

170-113.

Made the split last week in my suicide league, so basically we all got 2k each and are playing for 22k this week.

But I’ve paired up with someone else so guranteed money no matter what, we where the only ones to do it, makes sense to me, something is better than nothing and might get lucky and picks leans heavy on one team and that team loses

I was picking KC, Mahomes is legit and I haven’t seen Phili tested in the past few games, they have done what they had to do in great fashion and might be legit but I haven’t been 💯 on them this year, I’ll just back Mahomes before Hurt all day long.

My favour Super Bowl of recent years, or maybe ever, has gotta be the Patriots comeback vs Falcons, what a master class from Brady that 2nd half was. But the Eagles vs Patriots final a year later is right up there, it was near perfect offensive play from both teams and a performance for the ages from the backup qb mvp.

I'm a Patriots fan but I'd put the Steelers Vs Cards from the 2008 season up there. Fantastic game.

184-101 for the season.

Great great game. Bit like the AFC Championship though, hard not to be disappointed when a game like that gets decided by a penalty as opposed to a really great piece of play, regardless of whether you think it was a penalty or not. Still though, you just have to marvel at the skill and athleticism of these quarter backs. It's football from a different planet at times. I really don't know what more Hurts could have done, he put the team on his back and took them to 35 points, against most teams that would be enough. Not these Chiefs though.

I take my hat off to Reid for what he's built there. To have the courage to move on from Hill, re-write the script and still take it all the way to a ring is legendary stuff and it bodes well for the Chiefs chances of maintaining this success throughout the Mahomes era. At least for as long as Reid stays around.

Tough break for the Eagles, I'm not well up on their cap situation or what chance they have of maintaining that cast around Hurts for next season and beyond, but with the way he's playing and the reality he still probably hasn't reached his ceiling I think the future's bright there for many years to come.

Just want to say big thanks to all the regular contributors in here throughout the season. Always really enjoy the craic here and reading everyone's predictions and reviews. Can't believe another season's in the books, this year is flying round already. Roll on kick-off for next season. It'll be my (and I'm sure may on here) first season watching where Brady won't be involved. It's been a privilege to follow the game in his time and the league won't be the same without him. Thankfully there's never been a better era of quarter back play to enjoy and a few potential future GOATs to get behind.

Pretty happy Eagles lost, not a great fan base, coach is a bit of a dipshi., they have been a bit cocky, nice to see them taken down a notch.

Not happy with that call though, very weak call to decide a Super Bowl, that’s just my opinion.

183 - 102 at the end.

Well the Eagles despite their QB having a great game could not do enough on defense to stop Mahomes. We'll never know if the 49ers would have done better.

Well done to @collybyrne on a hard fought season! Thanks to everyone else for playing. Already looking forward to next year!
