Last Updated: 02/15/2021 at 12:14 AM ET

The Vince Lombardi Trophy will be up for grabs on Sunday evening, when the Kansas City Chiefs battle the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV. The Chiefs won a league-best 14 games during the regular season and are looking to become the first back-to-back Super Bowl Champions since the New England Patriots did it 17 years ago. In the AFC Championship Game, Kansas City scored 21 unanswered points during the second quarter of a 38-24 home victory versus Buffalo.

Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes completed 29 of his 38 passes for 325 yards and three touchdowns. Tyreek Hill caught nine passes for 172 yards and Darrel Williams added a rushing touchdown for the Chiefs.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ranked second in the NFL in passing (289.1 ypg) and will become the first team in NFL history to play a Super Bowl at their home stadium. In the NFC Championship Game, Tampa Bay built an 11-point halftime lead and held on for a 31-26 road victory against top-seed Green Bay. The Buccaneers were 9-for-14 on third down and sacked Aaron Rodgers five times.

Forty-three year old QB Tom Brady threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns. Tampa Bay RB Leonard Fournette added 55 rushing yards on 12 carries and a touchdown.

Kansas City LT Eric Fisher (Achilles) will not play in this game and RT Mitchell Schwartz (back) is unlikely to suit up. These are two of the top three scoring offenses in the league so the over is worth a look. The stronger play is on Tampa Bay to pull off the upset. Final Score Prediction, Tampa Bay Buccaneers win and cover ATS 30-27.
