2021 Super Bowl featuring 2 of the most exciting teams to watch all year! Two top offenses, future hall of fame quarterbacks, great receivers, and so much more! This might be the best Super Bowl ever! Patrick Mahomes vs Tom Brady is going to be a game to be remembered forever! Tampa Bay with top offense and top defense vs Kansas City top offense and mediocre defense.

This will also be the first super bowl where a contending team will play in their own stadium! (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

Who will win? I will be doing a deep dive into each team to see who has the highest chance of winning. Read more to see who should win the Super Bowl.

1) Quarterback Advantage

Patrick Mahomes continuing to impress everyone and Tom Brady proving he's not a system QB and doesn't need Bill Belichick to go to a Super Bowl. Let's see who has the advantage.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers:

289.6 passing yards per game (2nd)

Tom Brady stats:

4633 yards (3rd)

40 TD (T-2nd)

12 INT

102.2 QBR

Amazing stats for Tom Brady, still leading the team at 43 years old! He has top targets of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, and Rob Gronkowski. The targets are ready for Brady to succeed. This will also be Tom Brady's 10th Super Bowl! So, Tampa Bay is looking very strong at QB.

Kansas City Chiefs:

303.4 passing yards per game (1st)

Patrick Mahomes stats:

4740 yards (2nd)

38 TD (4th)

6 INT

108.2 QBR

Leading the league once again, he would definitely be #1 at each stat if they decided to play last game of the season rather than sit starters, but it doesn't matter. They didn't need the win and they're still back in the Super Bowl! Unlike opposing QB Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes is 25 years old!

Advantage: Kansas City Chiefs

2) Rushing Advantage

Both teams have not been the best at the rushing attack. They have relied on their passing game to carry them to wins. Although their stats might seem low, both teams still have good depth of running backs.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers:

94.9 rushing yards per game (T28th)

Ronald Jones:

Rushing Attempts: 192

Rushing Yards: 978 yards

Average Yards Per Run: 5.1 yards

Rushing TDS: 7

Leonard Fournette:

Rushing Attempts: 97

Rushing Yards: 367 yards

Average Yards Per Run: 3.8 yards

Rushing TDS: 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers haven't been too good at the run game, but their players have gotten the yards needed almost every time. Ronald Jones with his explosive runs and Leonard Fournette with his toughness create a dangerous duo to run in and get those much needed touchdowns.

Kansas City Chiefs

112.4 yards per game (16th)

Clyde Edwards-Helaire:

Rushing Attempts: 181

Rushing Yards: 803 yards

Average Yards Per Run: 4.4 yards

Rushing TDS: 4

Le'Veon Bell:

Rushing Attempts: 63

Rushing Yards: 254 yards

Average Yards Per Run: 4 yards

Rushing TDS: 2

Now the stats might make it look obvious that the chiefs are better, but don't be fooled. The chiefs running backs have been struggling as of lately in the playoffs. The bucs running backs look much better and have been outperforming the chiefs.

Advantage: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

3) Overall Offense

The Chiefs are a tad bit better at the passing game, but they lose out in the running game. Eric Fisher was also recently injured and will miss the Super Bowl, so that doesn't help the Chiefs. Let's look at each team. The chiefs have the better QB and TE. The bucs have the better RB, WR, and O-line. Overall, Tampa Bay has a better offense and have looked like a complete offense!

Advantage: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

4) Passing Defense

Both defenses have been solid, but not great. Tampa Bay's defense has shown that it can win games by stopping the Packers & New Orleans to victory. Kansas City's defense has been mediocre. So, this will be interesting.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers:

246.6 yards per game (21st)

Although the defense has been great overall, they haven't been the best at pass protection. They have come in clutch with turnovers. With 26 turnovers on the regular season. During the playoffs they had 8 turnovers! So, they're turnover clutch.

Kansas City Chiefs:

236.2 yards per game (14th)

Averaging 10 yards less than the Bucs, they've been the better defense for yards per game. Their defense has been more conservative and on the quiet part not getting much turnovers, but overall they continue to stop top QBs.

Advantage: Kansas City Chiefs

5) Rushing Defense

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

80.6 yards per game (1st)

#1 rush defense in the NFL are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. No question. Not only are they the best at rush defense, they also have top rushers and sackers like: Devin White, Shaq Barrett, Jason Pierre-Paul, and Ndamukong Suh. That's a pretty scare defense.

Kansas City Chiefs

122.1 yards per game (21st)

The one thing the Chiefs have struggled with is run defense. Nothing to compare here. The Bucs are much more dominant in the rushing game.

Advantage: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

SUPER BOWL WINNER

After running down the numbers, the winner of Super Bowl LV is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers! With the 10th Super Bowl on record for Tom Brady, will help the TB Bucs a lot! Having a veteran known for his comebacks and amazing performances. Also statistically it looks like the TB Bucs will win. Leading in overall defense and overall offense they have a victory on their hand ready. BUT don't count out the Chiefs. We have seen what Mahomes could do, and I won't be surprised if any one side wins. They're both spectacular teams and look to be very even.

Thanks for reading my writing, can you do me a favor by tipping me. Have fun in the Super Bowl!
