For no good reason I threw together a spreadsheet of super bowl matchups with overall / offensive / defensive dvoa, and compared them with today's, just looking for the most similar. Very reductionist but easy to throw together in the time I had.

The most similar matchup was 2005's Seahawks-Steelers. Seattle had 28.4/28.5/-0.7, Pittsburgh had 27.2/12.0/-13.5 - compared to KC's 30.2/22.7/-3.4 and SF's 27.9/7.2/-19.8. (Total differential of 22.1).

A close second was 1990's Bills-Giants, with a differential of 22.9. The two others below 30 were Broncos-Packers and Bengals-49ers.

In other words: expect a close game! Unless a bunch of extremely ill-timed holding calls affect one team.
