4. Tom Brady is in the NFC

Crazy as it sounds to say out loud, Tom Brady is the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Not having to go through the GOAT in the AFC is a huge advantage for Mahomes and the Chiefs. While Kansas City could still see Brady standing on the opposite sideline in the Super Bowl, the road to Super Sunday in the AFC is clearer than it has been in recent memory.

The Chiefs will still have to contend with reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and his explosive and dangerous Baltimore Ravens. Additionally, Bill Belichick is still lurking in New England and planning his next move, but if that next move includes starting Jarrett Stidham at quarterback, well, you have to like the Chiefs’ chances.
