The stage is set for Super Bowl LV.

For the first time in NFL history, a team will play a Super Bowl in its own stadium when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 7.

Tom Brady will make his record 10th Super Bowl appearance.

He will face Patrick Mahomes, who will make his second consecutive Super Bowl appearance.

It will be the greatest quarterback of all-time against the league’s biggest superstar for perhaps the final time.

Here is the Morning Coffee for Monday Jan. 25, 2021.

Super Bowl LV Stage Is Set

Brady and Mahomes will meet for the fifth time at Super Bowl LV.

After splitting their first four meetings, it’s only fitting that they settle the score on the biggest stage of them all.

Brady, who will look to add a seventh Super Bowl ring to his all-time NFL record, will try to follow Peyton Manning as just the second quarterback ever to win a Super Bowl with multiple franchises.

Meanwhile, Mahomes will lead a Chiefs side looking to become the first team to repeat as champions since Brady’s New England Patriots did it in 2003-04.

Brady will be exactly 18 years and 45 days older than Mahomes on Feb. 7, which is easily the largest age difference among starting quarterbacks in Super Bowl history.

Kansas City opened as a three-point favourite with the total set at 57.

Some books had the Chiefs at -3.5 and I could definitely see the number moving in the direction of Kansas City becoming an even bigger favourite as the week progresses.

Our own Luke Bellus did an excellent job providing us with our first look at the matchup for Super Bowl LV.

NHL North Division Update

The North Division drama continued to unfold on Sunday night when the Edmonton Oilers stunned the Winnipeg Jets with a 4-3 win.

Less than two minutes after Blake Wheeler gave the Jets a 3-2 lead, Kailer Yamamoto tied it at 3-3 with his third goal of the season.

Just over three minutes later, Leon Draisaitl beat the buzzer with a last-second game-winning goal to steal an important two points.

With the win, Edmonton climbs to within two points of Winnipeg for third place in the North Division with the Jets holding a game in hand.
