There will be no Kansas City Chiefs or Tampa Bay Bucs in the Super Bowl this year.
NBC Sports’ Peter King is raising a ton of eyebrows with his prediction for who he thinks will be playing in the big game in February.
King released his official Super Bowl prediction in his Football Morning In America column on Monday.
“I’m picking a Rams-Bills Super Bowl. Obvious rejoinder: What’s wrong with Kansas City and Tampa Bay? You had them ranked 1-2 in the spring. The answer is, Nothing. I really liked the Bills and Rams when I went to their camps. I think it’s Buffalo’s breakthrough year, and I think Matthew Stafford gives the Rams the kind of offensive confidence and explosiveness they haven’t had since we all thought Jared Goff was The Answer, in early 2018.”
Los Angeles heads into the 2021 season with sky-high expectations following the trade for Matthew Stafford.
King says Allen now knows what it takes to win.

“Allen is 25. After playing off-off Broadway as a quarterback for years, now he understands what it takes to win in the big time. Now he’s just got to do it. I’m betting he’s ready.”
King also considered the Bills’ COVID-19 dilemma. The Bills currently have one of the lowest vaccination rate in the NFL.
“As for Covid, the Bills have had their issues; I could tell on my visit to camp in August it’s still something that could plague this team, because guys like Beasley won’t back down from their I’m-not-getting-vaxxed stances. They’d better be careful. A positive test by an unvaccinated player on, say, a Friday puts him out for two games. It’s football roulette. I think the Bills can overcome it, but they don’t sell insurance for these kinds of things.”
