**49ers 27, Bills 24** Tempted to go chalk and pick the Ravens but I have a suspicion that the injury bug strikes Lamar at some point in the playoffs. He’s going to have to carry a huge load and the playoffs are a meat grinder. I had a really tough time zeroing in on an alternate AFC team…all these squads are horribly flawed. In the end, I think Niners - Bills will be the most fun game to watch. And I think the Chiefs WRs are just too terrible for Mahomes to pull off the miracle. ---

I think there should be some sort of extra prize for Dopers who correctly predict long-shot to win the Super Bowl, or even predict an unlikely Super Bowl matchup to begin with. ---

Well, nailing a long shot essentially guarantees you the win. If you pick favorites, you have to nail the score or margin to edge out all the other people who pick the same thing. ---
