By Stuart Tomlin As part of our continuing Super Bowl LIII coverage, today we have a look at one of those strangest of phenomena in the NFL: the Super Bowl host curse. ------------------------------------------------------------------  We sports fans are a superstitious bunch. So much is thrown into the little superstitions we have. I don’t speak for every single sports fan here, but I speak for many amongst you. You may have a favourite shirt or jersey you wear for every single game, you might not wash a jersey until a defeat (2007 Patriots fans may have had a rough go of this one), you might always watch the games in the same bar or same seat in the house, and so on and so forth. Bud Light, long before the “Dilly Dilly” days, ran a campaign about superstitions fans have – “It’s only weird if it doesn’t work”. So, we all have our superstitions.

Like we rooted for the Philadelp...

Let us see who will be entering for the illustrious honour of participating in the Super Bowl as we review the Divisional Round games. Game 1 Kansas City Chiefs vs Indianapolis Colts Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri Final Score: Chiefs 31-13 Colts I tried to locate Tomlin for commentary, but he was too busy listening to R.E.M's "Everybody Hurts" on repeat. So...this game! The Chiefs looking to lock away their first home playoff victory since the Joe Montana retirement tour of the 1993-1994 season, and the Colts looking to go "1-0" each and every week (that's the mentality - take everyday one at a time to go 1-0.
