I have the Chiefs 31-28. I only say Chiefs due to their experience and the lack of competition the Eagles have faced over the last couple of months. The best QB the Eagles have faced all year is Dak Prescott. Mahomes is in a different league. Most put Dak in the 7-ish range in terms of best QBs in the NFL. But you've really got four elite QBs right now: Mahomes, Hurts, Burrow and Allen. You can throw in Herbert, Tua and Jackson. Eagles have only played Dak. Chiefs have played Burrow twice, Allen, Herbert, and Garropolo.

Probably the Chiefs in a close one.......something like 35-31. Two of the top 5 or 6 QBs in this game. Should be a great one. The Philly DL against the KC OL with dictate this game

I also have Chiefs because I am a huge Chiefs fan in Andover, KS (Chiefs country).
This has the makings of the greatest super bowl ever (if Patrick stays healthy).

A lot depends on how much healing has taken place in Mahomes' high ankle sprain. If Mahomes has his normal mobility then I favor the Chiefs to win. If Mahomes is stationary, then the Eagles will likely win. High ankle sprains usually take about 6 weeks to heal well. Mahomes' sprain occurred 3 weeks ago. We will find out how good the Chief's doctors can fix ankle sprains!
 
As a lifelong (and loooonnng suffering) Jets fan, I am hoping for a well played and entertaining game. Having no rooting interest in the game, I'm more interested in the strategy part of the game and what does and doesn't work for either team. I find it much more interesting seeing how a play/situation does or doesn't work.
 
Nobody has been able to withstand the Eagles defensive line and pass rush the latter part of the yea.. So I can see why Eagles are favored slightly. Game might hinge on Mahomes' mobility with that ankle sprain.
