I have another rule to memorandize and follow going forward - never place big bets on Super Bowls I expect will be tight.

This game was as tight a game as one can get considering it took five full quarters for the contest to resolve in favor of the defending champions. History repeats itself as the Chiefs add yet another championship to their record while the 49ers let victory slip from their hands once more.

My prediction was pretty much on point...but I honestly didn't expect Steve Wilks and his defense to render Kansas offense impotent in the first half. Wilks orchestrated a masterful game plan in the first two quarters, keeping the Chiefs mostly stagnant and shutting them out up until Mahomes was able to mount a last-minute scoring drive to close out the half.
