Indeed.

That's one area where Mahomes can be compared very accurately to Brady - a powderpuff set of opponents in the division.
 
Depends on game plan.

Sometimes Andy Reid refuses to run the ball. If that happens, I think the Eagles win, b/c they have a great pass rush and secondary, built to counter teams that just want to sling it around all day. Will he use Pacheco as much as he should.

If Reid runs the ball more than usual, it'll pose a big problem for the Eagles.

However, KC can't stop anyone through the air. AJ Brown and Davonta Smith could steal this game on their own - which would mean Hurts becomes a top, top QB in the biggest game of his life. Lots will come down to whether KC has anyone to stop Hurts from running effectively.

Eagles have been the best team in the league all year, and by some margin. They pretty much are better at every position aside from QB and TE.

Feels like a game flow, last possession, big play/turnover/penalties/special teams type of game. Tough one to handicap.

This is a gut type of game. Mine tells me that Mahomes/Reid are going to find a way to get their second title.

30-27 Chiefs

The only issue is Hurts' shoulder injury, which I think has been massively downplayed by the Eagles, might lessen Smith and Brown's impact. On paper, it almost looks like the Eagles should blow the Chiefs away, but I think Mahomes behind a strong O Line and hopefully more or less fully recuperated can pick them off and pose problems the Eagles haven't really faced this season.

My biggest concern about the Eagles is a lack of battle testing in the playoffs. They have had zero adversity, they destroyed a Giants team who were probably a year ahead of schedule and happy to be there, and a 49ers team with no quarterback. The Chiefs have had to navigate a tough Jags team with an emerging great, and one of the best teams in the NFL in the Bengals. If the Chiefs come out of the blocks aggressively and make big early offensive plays, the Eagles could really struggle to adapt
 
My gut says Iggles. In the middle of all that hypety hype, a football game should break out at some point.
I think they'll both be in it in a one-score spread to the end. Should be good. Consult ChatGPT for oracle duty.
 

Very difficult to predict, the -1.5 line in favour of the Eagles tells its own story. Only 4 Super Bowls in history have been under -2.

I believe this comes down to whether or not KC shuts down the Eagles run game or not. If yes, I think Hurts is actually in a far more serious injury situatin than Mahomes, and cant see how he can throw the ball 30+ times and expect to win.
 
Watching the buildup on sky you’d be forgiven for thinking the Eagles have already won the Super Bowl the way they are being coronated before the game has even been played
