We are just a few days away from Super Bowl LIV as it will be the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the San Fransisco 49ers in Miami on Sunday. As we all will be watching the game wondering who will take home the championship, we will also be looking for the MVP of the Super Bowl. For this blog, I am going to be naming the top potential players who could win the Most Valuable Player of the game. This is “The Pot”‘s top five picks.

1. Patrick Mahomes – Quarterback– Chiefs

• 

This is Patrick Mahomes third season in the NFL, and he has already lead the Chiefs to the Super Bowl. Last year, Mahomes and the Chiefs came up a win short of the Super Bowl. With the Patriots taking an early Wild Card exit, Mahomes used his dominant arm to prevail the Chiefs through the playoffs. Mahomes has thrown for total of 615 passing yards, and has rushed for a little over 100 yards this postseason. I expect Mahomes to have a dominant game in his first Super Bowl. I expect him to make a lot of big plays in the game, and if the Chiefs fall behind in the game, watch out as he could carry this team to victory.

2. Richard Sherman – Cornerback- 49ers

• 

Richard Sherman has been in this situation before, as he has been to two Super Bowls when he was a member of the Seattle Seahawks. He may not be the same player we saw in Seattle, but don’t be surprised you see him step up in the clutch moment. Richard Sherman has had two interceptions so far this postseason. I could possibly see him making a big play in the game, whether it is an interception or breaking up some big plays down the clutch, Sherman will not be afraid of the big moment and could help his team win the Super Bowl.

3. Sammy Watkins -Wide Receiver – Cheifs

• 

Sammy Watkins has been having a solid postseason for the Chiefs. Watkins has a total of 190 receiving yards with a touchdown for the Chiefs this postseason. I expect that he will be a big target for Mahomes, as I could possibly see him having a lot yards and possibly a touchdown or two. If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, I could see him to be in the running for the MVP.

4. Jimmy Garoppolo – Quarterback- 49ers

We all remember this guy as the backup quarterback for Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. He has won rings with the Patriots, but it was when he was watching from sidelines. After having a career year, Garoppolo will be able to start the Super Bowl for the first time in his career. This is what I think will happen with Garoppolo, he is either going to have an amazing game or a terrible game. There will be pressure on him as he is no longer with being. the back up to Tom Brady. If he comes out of the game hot, he is going to be feeling it all night long, but if he struggles from the beginning, I expect the Chiefs will play really well. He is in the conversation for the Super Bowl MVP, because he could have the game of his life or the worst game of his life.

5. Damien Williams- Running Back – Chiefs

• 

Damien Williams could be a guy that could win the Super Bowl if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. He has been very hot the past few games for the Chiefs as he has had 3 touchdowns this postseason and could keep it going in the Super Bowl. If Mahomes isn’t throwing the ball well, he could be looking to Damien Williams a lot to carry the load for the Chiefs.

This has the potential to be a very good game, as the Chiefs have a good offense, while the 49ers have a great defense. If I had to choose on who will win the game, I will have to go with the Chiefs. I think the Chiefs offense has a lot of weapons that might be too much for the 49ers to handle. The 49ers could have the potential to take the Chiefs down, but it all comes to the defense, because we saw how powerful the Chiefs offense was when they came back from 24-0 against the Texans to score 51 points in the Divisional round.

MY FINAL SCORE PREDICTION

Kansas City Chiefs – 24

San Fransisco 49ers – 14

The game will be played this Sunday @6:30 ET at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
