Super Bowl 55 Predictions: Can Chiefs repeat as NFL champions?
The staff of the Toro Times have made their Super Bowl 55 predictions before the big game takes place later on Sunday evening as the AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs look to repeat as Super Bowl champions against the NFC champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The two quarterbacks in this game are no strangers to the Houston Texans either as Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has won his last two meetings against the Texans, while Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady won more than he lost against the Texans in the past as the quarterback of the New England Patriots.
The Texans faced the Chiefs this past season where it was Kansas City winning 34-20 in the season opener on Sept. 10. In that game, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes passed for 211 yards on 24 completions with three touchdowns and no interceptions.
As for the last time the Texans faced Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, it came back on Dec. 1, 2019 as the Texans defeated the Patriots, 28-22 in a season-defining win by the Texans at that time. In that game, Brady passed for 326 yards on 24 completions with three touchdowns and one interception.

Looking at the past of both Mahomes and Brady against the Texans is important because everyone should realize how fortunate both the Buccaneers and Chiefs are to have a quarterback who plays at an elite level, or a quarterback who is one of the greatest of all-time and still is one of the best in the game.
It is foolish to ever want to trade a quarterback who plays at an elite level because they are very tough to come by.
Tonight’s Super Bowl 55 game features the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs who are trying to be come the first team to repeat as Super Bowl champions since Brady and his former Patriots teams did so in Super Bowls 38 and 39. It is kind of fun that Brady is on the opposite side as the Chiefs want to join an elite list Brady and his former team are on.
