New Orleans Saints Defensive Tackle Bryan Bresee saw the two teams who will play up close in Super Bowl Lix this season.

In fact, he faced Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs within 15 days. Both were losses of the saints.

So which team believes that he will raise the Lombardi trophy on Sunday evening in Caesar’s superdome?

“It’s hard,” said Bresee. “I really couldn’t give them a prediction in one or the other team. I really think it’s a coin tower. “

It is not often the case that the saints played both Super Bowl teams in the same season – only the eighth time that it ever happened. It is the first time in 2020 when the saints played both the Tampa Bay Buccaners and the Chiefs. In the regular season, the saints lost to the chiefs and beat the Bucs twice. But the Bucs won the most important thing in the playoffs, the last game of Drew Brees’ career.

In the seasons, the saints played both super bowl teams, they are only 4-18 against these teams. The only victories are the two against the Bucs in 2020, a victory against the Bengals in 1981 and a victory over the St. Louis Rams in 2001. If they include the seasons that the saints only one of the Super Bowl teams have played, the record is the record, even worse. They are 12-44 of all time against Super Bowl teams.

This year’s defeat against the Eagles this year was a game that left the saints away. The Chiefs game, a football loss from 26-13 Monday evening in the Arrowhead Stadium, was not quite as tight.

Saints players, both the past and the present, see this game in both directions. Quarterback Spencer Rattler calls it a throw like Bresee.

“It will be a good game,” said Rattler. “If the Eagles run the ball as they run, they will be difficult to beat. You have a good defense. But it is difficult to bet against Mahomes and what they did. “

The quota makers in Vegas also have it nearby. From Friday morning, the chiefs were only 1½-point favorites.

“It will be difficult for me to beat the chiefs,” said the former offensive -Line lineman of Saints, Jermon Bushthrod. “I think it always depends on this quarterback position. But Philly has a way to win this game. You have a very good offensive line and the best back in the game. Endle it and beat it and keep this guy (Mahomes) off the field and you have a chance. “

The chiefs try to become the first team in the NFL story that wins three consecutive Super Bowls. Former Saints receiver Marques Colston predicts that history is refused.

“I think the Eagles,” said Colston. “The Eagles have a relapse offices with street classes at the front and an all-project race. Teams do not have the staff who deals with this type of rushing attack. “

The last two Super Bowls in New Orleans were both decided with three points. The Ravens defeated the 49ers 34-31 in 2013. In 2002 the patriots beat the Rams with 20: 17.

The recipient Rashid Shaheed does not expect this to be different.

“It will be a good game,” said Shaheed. “I think it will arise who has the ball last.”
