The Chiefs are underdogs heading into the Super Bowl, and if that line holds by next Sunday, it would mean Kansas City was the underdog in three of their four playoff games this year.
Gio can’t believe that.
“I am shocked that the 49ers remain a favorite in this game…that, to me, seems crazy, and is gonna incite Patrick Mahomes even more,” Gio said. “He was an underdog against the Bills, beat them. He was an underdog against the Ravens, he beat them. Now, he’s an underdog against [the 49ers].”
Boomer says the Chiefs seem like a team that embraces being disrespected, and the tandem of Mahomes and Andy Reid is reminiscent of the Tom Brady/Bill Belichick duo that many believed would not return to glory, only to do it again and again.
“There is something about being the villain, the team that everyone is sick of, and you just keep winning,” Boomer said. “This is Patriot-esque, when they were doing their thing.”
