PHOENIX — After nine straight days of thinking about it, I’d like everyone to know that I am finally ready to make my Super Bowl pick.
It hasn’t been easy trying to decide who’s going to win. For one, we have one of the biggest revenge games in Super Bowl history, which means I had to watch Revenge of the Nerds, Jaws: The Revenge and the Revenge of Michael Myers just to get an idea of what Andy Reid will be feeling when he faces the Eagles on Sunday. But let’s not forget, this is a double-revenge game, because Nick Sirianni used to be an assistant coach with the Chiefs until Reid let him go after being hired by Kansas City in 2013. I might have to watch four more revenge movies to fully understand the revenge factor here.
I also had to watch Property Brothers, Step Brothers and Blues Brothers to get an idea of how Jason and Travis Kelce will feel in this game when they become the first set of brothers to play against each other in a Super Bowl.
If you’re wondering how I found time to watch all of that stuff, I did it on my flight to Phoenix. That’s right, I’m in Arizona and I’ll be here all week. As a matter of fact, if this pick sounds like an incoherent mess, that’s because I’m writing it at 1 a.m. directly after having attended the annual circus known as Super Bowl Media Night. The good news is that I saw Patrick Mahomes‘ ankle (it looks good), Andy Reid’s mustache (it looks dapper) and the Eagles’ mascot (he looks freshly molted), who I’m pretty sure was hitting on the daughter of the Chiefs’ owner.
Anyway, what all of this means is that I feel like I am now 100% prepared to make this pick.
So who am I taking in this game?
Let’s get to the pick and find out.
Actually, before we get to the pick, here’s a quick reminder to check out the Super Bowl picks from all of our other CBS Sports NFL writers, which you can do by clicking here. If that’s not enough Super Bowl content for you, then I recommend clicking here and checking out the Pick Six podcast on YouTube. Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and I are spending the week together in Arizona and we’ll be putting out new podcasts every day, which means you get more of me, which I have to think is a good thing.
Also, since I’ll be in Arizona this week, feel free to start following me on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, you won’t regret it. However, I might eventually…
