Five early Super Bowl predictions I told you the Super Bowl preview content would be coming fast and furious over the next couple of weeks and I wasn't kidding. Today, we'll kick things off with a guaranteed crowd-pleaser: .We may still be about two weeks away from the Chiefs-Buccaneers showdown in Tampa, but that doesn't mean it's too early for our Jordan Dajani to look into his crystal ball and . Tyreek Hill goes for over 100 receiving Dallas Cowboys Accessories yards and wins Super Bowl MVP: Hill has been on another level lately (three straight postseason games with 100+ yards receiving) and the best game of his career came earlier this season when he torched Tampa for 13 catches, 269 yards and three touchdowns. He could be in for another big showing in Super Bowl LVRob Gronkowski catches a touchdown pa s: After a solid season, Gronk has been quiet for the Bucs during this postseason run. But Brady and Gronk have long-established trust in the red zone and Dajani thinks they connect for a score in the Super Bowl -- po sibly for the last time everChiefs repeat: Brady and the Bucs did their best to give the game away in the second half of the NFC Championship, and Kansas City just looks too dominant lately. The defense has been playing well and the offense is virtually unstoppable, so look for KC to hoist a second straight Lombardi TrophyThere's nothing too unreasonable there, huh? You can find a few extra predictions from Dajani , but I'm willing to bet we'll get a bunch more -- including some of the bold variety -- before Super Bowl Sunday.While most of these predictions will focus on what happens on the field, I am rather curious to see how the festivities and lead-up to the game are altered given the pandemic. We're certainly not going to have the circus or fanfare that we're used to during Super Bowl week, partly because there will be le s people in town for the event and also because teams are Drew Pearson T Shirts going to want to protect the integrity of their roster as much as po sible leading up to the season finale. It'll be interesting to see what the does to try and replace some of that entertainment value.2. Yankees, Red Sox make a stunning trade Speaking as a lifelong Bostonian, it's no secret that the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry has lacked a little bit of its usual luster over the past dozen years or so. Even when the two teams faced off in the postseason and taunted each other a bit in 2018, there wasn't the same level of hatred or bite that we've come to expect from the storied rivalry. But even so, seeing a trade between the two? That's an incredible rarity, but The Yankees traded veteran reliever and right-handed pitching prospect Frank German to the Red Sox in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named laterIn two seasons with N.Y., Ottavino appeared in 97 games and compiled a 2.76 ERA (162 ERA+) with a 2.31 strikeout-to-walk ratioOttavino, 35, struggled in 2020 and was dumped by New Emmitt Smith T Shirts York seemingly due to luxury tax implications (they're now in better position to retain without exceeding the luxury tax)This is the first trade between the teams since 2014 (Stephen Drew for Kelly Johnson) andBoth teams helping each other out with a friendly deal? What kind of nonsense is that? That shouldn't even be allowed. We're gonna need one of these teams to dig up the other's infield or something just to remind them they're not friends. Send a me sage. We've got decades of hate and animosity to protect.3. The Packers still give Aaron Rodgers the best shot to win Yesterday we discu sed Aaron Rodgers' future in -- a future that seems up in the air following the Packers' lo s in the NFC Championship. Some of Rodgers' postgame comments seemed like pa sive aggre sive digs at his own team/coach, and he acknowledged that he's among several guys who might not be back next year. But our Jonathan Jones is here to tell you to pump the brakes on the speculation. Not only does he think Rodgers will be back in green and gold next season, but .Jones: It's true the Rodgers has some nice weapons and a good team around him in Green Bay, and that's been enough to reach the NFC Championship in each of the past two years. But it's also true that, as the Packers were looking to bolster their roster for another deep run, they used a first-round pick to select Rodgers' succe sor rather than add a piece that could help them right away.With that in mind, the Rodgers-Packers relationship is in a strange place. It would make all the sense in the world for him to stick around in Green Bay and see if they can get over the hump next season, but the Packers showed last season they're not afraid to be bold while committing to a future with someone else under center. 4. More MLB-MLBPA drama with postseason/DH proposal Stop me if you've heard this one before, but and the MLBPA are encountering some drama at the negotiation table as they try to hammer out the details of the upcoming season. :The MLBPA rejected the league's proposal for a universal DH and expanded postseason yesterdayIf no agreement can be reached between now and the regular season, the 2021 season will be played under the terms of the current CBA (DH in AL only, 10-team postseason)It's unclear if the two sides will continue to negotiate on similar proposals for the 2021 season, but the league will have time to push for an expanded season as part of the upcoming Dak Prescott Hoodies Sweatshirts CBA talks If you're wondering why the players would
