Location: Glendale, Ariz.Kickoff time: 6:30 p.m. ETTV: FoxPoint spread: Eagles -2Over/under: 49.5Moneyline: Eagles -130, Chiefs +110MORE SUPER BOWL PICKS: | Vinnie Iyer:The Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes, but the Eagles have their own MVP-caliber quarterback in Jalen Hurts, who benefits from the better offensive line, running game and wide receivers. The Eagles also have fewer holes in their defense behind a strong pa s rush, thanks to their reliable secondary. Philadelphia, like it was seeded No. 1 during its Super Bowl 52 run, completes an amazing season with the more complete team.Bill Bender:The line could fluctuate, but as of now its a chance to see the Chiefs in an underdog role. Kansas City has been an underdog just seven times under Andy Reid since 2019, and they are 4-3 in Albert Johansson Women Jersey that role. Nick Sirianni and the Eagles were 10-8 ATS as a favorite and 5-0 S/U against non-conference teams this season.It’s a historic matchup between Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts, and it comes down to which quarterback makes the magical plays on third down against the pa s rush. Kansas City (48.8%) and Philadelphia (47.5%) ranked second and third, respectively on third-down conversion percentage.The Chiefs also must generate at least the appearance of a running game to fend off the Eagles loaded pa s rush. Philadelphia will lead the game at halftime, but look for Mahomes who has two weeks to rest a high-ankle sprain to provide those magic moments in the fourth quarter.MORE SUPER Pavel Datsyuk Men Jersey BOWL 57: | | Matt Lutovsky:The Eagles have been dominant virtually all year, losing just one of Jalen Hurts starts. The offense scored the third-most points this season and is borderline unstoppable in short-yardage situations, and the defense led the NFL in sacks and pa s defense.Kansas City is no slouch, leading the league in total offense and scoring offense, but its defense doesnt quite measure up to Phillys. When you throw in Patrick Mahomes gimpy ankle and the numerous injuries to Kansas Citys receivers, its easy to favor the Eagles.The Chiefs have the edge in experience, especially at head coach and you can never count out Mahomes as long as hes on the field but Philadelphia is simply better and healthier.Joe Rivera:Jalen Hurts looked a bit off in the NFC championship game, going 15-of-25 pa sing for 121 yards, with Philadelphia relying on a tough ground game to grind the Niners into oblivion. If that’s what they can do against the NFL’s top defense, then they should be able to do it again vs. the Chiefs.That, though, is omitting one minor, teeny-tiny detail: The Eagles didn’t play against an offense that was full strength, knocking both Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson out of the game. They won’t have the same luck going conservative against a recovered Patrick Mahomes and a Chiefs offense that can move the ball at will and score when it absolutely needs to.That’s not to say offense will come easy. Last time we saw No. 15, in the Super Bowl, he was eaten alive by the Tampa Bay pa s rush, running for his life on nearly every drop back and still making somewhat miraculous throws while he was at it. Even with a reworked O-line, expect Philly to give the Terry Sawchuk Kids Jersey Chiefs fits in the trenches.It’s insanely evenly matched, but Andy Reid will reach deep into his bag of tricks to down his old team in a razor-close win for KC.GAMING SURVEY: Jacob Camenker:Patrick Mahomes finally got the monkey off his back, earning his first head-to-head win against Joe Burrow in four tries while heroically playing through a high-ankle sprain in the AFC championship game. But now, he will face his toughest test of the season against a formidable Eagles team.Philadelphia certainly has the advantage in this matchup given its combination of an excellent running game and a top-tier defense. The Eagles will look to control this game on the ground with Miles Sanders and Jalen Hurts to keep Kansas City’s pa s rush which thrived against the Bengals off-balance. They should be able to do that thanks to their stellar offensive line.Defensively, the Eagles’ top task will be containing Mahomes, and they have the pa s rush needed to do that. They had 70 sacks during the regular season good for the third-most by a team in NFL history and have added eight sacks in their two postseason games. They should get plenty of pre sure on Mahomes with Haason Reddick, Brandon Graham and Co. and that should be enough to slow the Chiefs’ offense down in this contest.In a way, this feels similar to the Jimmy Howard Women Jersey Chiefs’ Super Bowl 55 lo s to the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay’s pa s rush dominated that game and rendered Mahomes ineffective in a blowout. Kansas City will fare better this time with a better offensive line, but Philadelphia can ride this clear-cut advantage to the franchise’s second Super Bowl title.Kevin Skiver:It’s hard to get a read on these Eagles because while the ease of their path to the Super Bowl is overblown, they did beat a team that was carrying half a quarterback for a full half on championship weekend.
