Hi everyone! Today I want to discuss which picks I got correct and which ones I got wrong. So, let’s get started! I predicted that the Rams would beat the Buccaneers 33-30, but the final score was 30-27 Rams over the Buccaneers in a close game. The Rams were up 27-3 in the first half, but in the second half, the Buccaneers started to comeback and tied it at 27 a peace. However, the Rams were still able to go down the field and kick a game-winning field goal. The Rams did everything they could to almost lose the game by turning the ball over, and missing a key field goal. The Rams should not be relying on kicking a game-winning field goal or score a touchdown. They have to finish it. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has announced that he will be retiring after playing for about more than 20 years of his career. I predicted that the Chiefs would beat the Bills 39-36, but the final score was 42-36 Chiefs over the Bills in overtime in a very close game. This game was insane as both teams were going back and forward scoring touchdowns and no defense in the 4th quarter. The Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker missed a couple of key field goals. The Chiefs scored a game-winning touchdown in overtime by a touchdown to the tight end Travis Kelce from Patrick Mahomes. He is electric! My prediction there was so close!!!!
I predicted that the Packers would beat the 49ers 26-24, but the final score was 13-10 49ers over the Packers in an upset and a close game. The 49ers defense was excellent after they have given up an opening drive by the Packers. They gave the 49ers offense a chance to get something going and they finally did. But the big difference of the game was the 49ers special teams play and taking in for a touchdown. The Packers special teams was a problem for them all season long. Now I did not know that until just now. I knew that the 49ers were going to be pretty hard on the Packers, but I was shocked that they actually won the game. The 49ers kicked a game-winning field goal to win the game. I predicted that the Titans would beat the Bengals 36-30, but the final score was 19-16 Bengals over the Titans in a close game. The Bengals and the Titans offense were not playing all that well, but it was a pretty close game. The difference of the game was that Ryan Tannehill threw a key interception to allow the Bengals to go down the field to kick a game-winning field goal to send the Titans home and the Bengals to the AFC Championship. Ryan Tannehill threw 3 picks to which it was costly for the Titans to end their season. Never turn the ball over in the playoffs.
So, I have gotten 2 out of 4 picks correct! Now, let’s get to the Championship game picks, shall we?! The first game I will predict is the Bengals @Chiefs game. I think this game is going to be a pretty good game. Both of these teams are coming off with their wins last week in the Divisional round games. The key players to watch on both teams I think are Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, Tyler Boyd, Clyde Edwards Helaire, Damien Williams, Mecole Hardman, Tee Higgins, and Joe Mixon. Yes, the Bengals have won in a very close game on the comeback the last time these teams played each other in Cincinnati. This time it is in Arrow head stadium. I think this game will be close again, but I think this time the Chiefs will beat the Bengals 34-31. I just think the Chiefs are just a little too much for the Bengals to handle. The Bengals do not want to get into the shootout because they will not win. Besides, the Bengal’s offense did not play all that well last week against the Titans. I think the Chiefs will go back to the Super Bowl. The next game I will predict is the 49ers @Rams game, the divisional rivalries. This I think is going to be a very good game. Both of these teams are coming off with their wins last week in the divisional round games. The 49ers are a physical team and the Rams picked a good time to play better. Now, the 49ers have had the Rams number. They have beaten the Rams like about 6 times. The last time these teams played is that when the Rams were up 17-0 and the 49ers came back and won the game in overtime. I think this game will be much different. So, who will go to the Super Bowl? Well, I think the 49ers will beat the Rams for a seventh time of the season in a close game 30-24 because they are just so physical and they showed us that last week. The 49ers do need to play better and so do the Rams. I think the Rams just might make a little more mistakes than the 49ers to allow the 49ers to take advantage and win the game.
So, my results in the Super Bowl this season will be the 49ers and Chiefs in a rematch. It is totally possible!!
So, what do you guys think about the Championship game picks?! I would love to hear lots of comments, thoughts, opinions, questions, or concerns down below!
Stay tuned for NFL updates.

The penultimate issue of Primordial does exactly what you would expect a penultimate issue from Lemire and Sorrentino to do: utterly disorient us with a sudden influx of emotions and information, slowly integrate it into our preexisting framework of the situation, and then carry on with the story.
Primordial #4 dealt a lot with the animal crew’s journey back to earth and Yelena and Penbrook’s endeavors on earth during their transit. Primordial #5 deals with the final approach. We take a brief break from the trippy cosmic horror energy of the joint endeavors of Laika, Able, and Baker and find ourselves on Earth in 2024 as we’re following an older Yelena going about her day. And then of course, we jump back to space animal crew as they see their origin from space and things only get weirder from there.
Lemire is incredibly economical and efficient with his dialog. The fact remains that Lemire only needs about an average of five words to utterly decimate any emotional barrier you have up, and he understand that Sorrentino’s artwork is enough to carry the bulk of the story. This is a book where the visual storytelling is paramount, and Sorrentino constantly delivers with the set pieces and characters.
With Primordial #5 out, that means there’s only one more issue on the docket. It’s going to be quite the spectacle seeing the fallout from the animals’ return. Lemire and Sorrentino have taken us through quite the odyssey through space and time and have proven that they are masters of capturing and presenting a story of this scope and magnitude, and it’s awe-inspiring to behold.

Writter: James F. Wright / Illustrator: Li Buszka / Colors: Bex Glendining / Ink: Ariana Maher / Legendary Comics YA
In Lupina, a young girl battles both the grief of a family lost to seemingly senseless violence and real-life monsters. All while traveling across the land with her wolf guardian. Lupina is a tale of self-discovery and vengeance that transcends both the mystical and the corporeal worlds that our protagonist inhabits.
A Personal Note
I have mentioned in previous articles that graphic novels helped ignite my love of reading. They allow for a different kind of digestion of narrative fiction. As I’ve gotten older, I am aware that my attention span has greatly decreased. However, graphic novels allow me to remain immersed in a story from cover to cover. From Legendary Comics YA, a four-person creative team brings a new fantasy comic to life that adds a magical twist to the run-of-the-mill coming-of-age story in Lupina.
What I Enjoyed
The artwork in Lupina is gorgeous. The beginning is endearing enough; a mother comforting, protecting, and later sacrificing her life to defend her youngest will pull the heartstrings of any reader. I enjoy how the fauna play such a large role in the story. The large wolf, Coras, is super cute and provides ample amounts of comfort to the protagonist. This comfort feels like a necessity, considering how tragic the opening of the story is. I love how protective she is over Lupa. This trope never gets old (think Avatar: TLA‘s Appa and Legend of Korra‘s Naga) and the dynamic is heart-warming as the reader leans on this duo in order to wade through the constant fear and darkness that permeates Lupina. Personally, I need some emotional anchor to get through any kind of nitty-gritty dark shit, so the sweet wolfie was much appreciated. Coras is not as engaging as Appa or Naga, but has the makings of being one of the best fictional animal companions in her own right.
Where I Was Challenged
The pacing is too quick for my taste and a bit convoluted. Mixing reality and dreams and the perspectives of the deities watching over Lupa… It’s just a lot to take in with not enough of a solid foundation to jump off of. Another major point of contention for me was how the goddesses were woven into the story. Initially, they are seen as beings of myth and awe. Later in the story, we see they have an active role to play in Lupa’s destiny, which felt overwhelming for the story.
All In All
Overall, Lupina was a fun read that suffers from having too much to say in too short a time. So many fantastical plot points are introduced without some needed exposition. There just was not enough background information given for Lupa, her family, or her hometown to have a real compassionate connection with her or her story. Her mother’s fighting and protecting her, then later, dying was the most emotion I felt during the story. Meeting Coras was a close second, but other than that, I felt very disconnected from the overall story. There is a lot of promise in this comic, and to reiterate, the art is beautiful. Hopefully in future volumes, there is more time given to fleshing out the backstory of the politics and society in the world Lupa and Coras inhabit.
