Super Bowl LIX is still a few months away, but some NFL fans are already making predictions about how the game will play out. Over the weekend, a supposed ‘script’ for the game circulated on social media, suggesting that the Chiefs will defeat the Lions 54-50 on February 9th. The image, designed to look like a sports score from Google, indicates that the Lions will finish the regular season with a 16-1 record while the Chiefs maintain an undefeated 17-0 record. Although there is no concrete evidence to support the authenticity of this ‘script,’ some fans are intrigued by the high-scoring projection.
A number of fans expressed enthusiasm about the potential outcome, with one fan stating, ‘This would be awesome for the lions but they better change that script so they win.’ On the contrary, some fans doubted the plausibility of a game where Detroit and Kansas City combine for a total of 104 points. One fan confidently asserted, ‘No team is scoring 54 on the Lions,’ highlighting the defensive strength of the Detroit team.
Despite the Chiefs’ unbeaten streak in 2024, they currently possess the 11th-best scoring offense in the league, averaging 24.3 points per game. Their highest scoring game this season was against the Bucs in Week 9, where they managed to reach 30 points but required overtime to secure the victory. On the other hand, the Lions have an 8-1 record following a comeback win against the Texans, and have been allowing an average of just 19 points per game throughout the season. Additionally, Detroit boasts the best point differential in the league at +113.
While the Chiefs and Lions are not scheduled to face off during the regular season, the possibility of them meeting in New Orleans for the Super Bowl remains. Despite the speculations and predictions circulating among fans, the actual outcome of the highly anticipated game will only be revealed when the teams take the field. As the NFL season progresses, fans eagerly await to see if the ‘script’ predictions align with reality, or if unexpected twists and turns await in the road to Super Bowl LIX.
