Super Bowl Sunday is here! 🏈🏆

A lot depends on the health of the two QBs. I give an edge to the Chiefs in terms of a) experience and b) Eagles had an easy glide path into the SB and were not tested (especially since Purdy went down and the 49ers ended up playing a half without a QB). while there is pressure in every game, the SB is a different animal with the week off and being out of cadence (in terms of run-up to the game).
But the eagle pass rush is great and they are so balanced across the board. They are very physical. Can they get to and then contain Mahomes who is exceptional when flushed from the pocket? Can the Chiefs stop the Eagles running game?
Both QBs have been banged up the last few weeks. Hopefully, both will be closer to full strength on Sunday and we get a chance to see them closer to their best where there improvisational skills come out.
Whichever team is healthier (especially at QB) wins--that's probably Philly right now.
I agree with most of your points but saw this when people say that "The Eagles had an easy schedule.
Best records in NFL history vs. winning teams:
9-1 ... 1969 Vikings
9-1 … 2007 Patriots
9-1 ... 2022 Eagles
I expect KC to win comfortably over the Eagles. I don’t think Hurts has what it takes to win a Super Bowl. I would be very impressed if Hurts proves me wrong.
Fair enough and I don't have a team in this fight so don't really care who wins. If you look at the premier teams in the NFL right now, the eagles and 49ers are the only one in the top five. The Eagles played the 49ers when they had zero quarterbacks. In the AFC you have the Bills, Chiefs, Bengals, Ravens, Chargers. All of them were better than anyone on the Eagles' schedule. Not only that, the Chiefs played the Chargers and Bengals twice. They also played the 49ers when they had a good QB. So, mb my count, the Chiefs had six games more difficult than the entire schedule for the Eagles.
All of that means nothing on Sunday. But this Chiefs team will be the best team, by far, the Eagles have played this year.
The Eagles are better on both sides of the LOS, but Mahomes is a Magician.
I will still go with the big uglies. Run the ball eat clock. Eagles win and cover.

That’s where I’m at as well. I believe the Eagles are better on the OL and DL. Mahomes is on his way to a hall of fame career and perhaps another MVP, but the big uglies are the difference maker for me. They can run the ball well and also stop the run/sack the QB.
Well, here is the script…Eagles win 31-27. Done deal

Lotsa spirit around Philly this week. RIP off t shirt stands popping up at gas stations.
Time feels suspended awaiting Sunday. My students were hoping for a 2 hour delay Monday as the City schools did and some suburbs have. I doubt we do that....but expect at least 25% absences for students and staff regardless.
As many Eagles chants as Flyers chants vs Oilers on Thursday night. Bought 2 shirts and an "It's a Philly Thing" ski cap for $35 and a beer in the parking lot afterwards.
I'd l8ke to see Miles Sanders have an MVP game...but they sub him out for 14 and 35 often regardless of his production.
Birds win 30-21. Eagles have more potential gamechangers on offense than the Cheifs do. If Reddick gets to Mahomes early it could be like the other playoff games.
Grease the poles! Yo Philly!

Doubt it. The Eagles have better personnel at basically every position. Better oline, better pass rush, better DB’s, better RB’s and WR’s.
Head Coach and QB is in the Chiefs favor, but not by an overwhelming margin.
Whew. I don’t agree at all. Chiefs are very talented in the DL and DB. They also have the best TE in the game, by far. WRs are very good. Plus they’ve played much better teams during the season and in the playoffs.
I am not saying the chiefs will win but they are a damn good team that has been here several times before
Bro, you’re just wrong.
Kelce is great, everyone knows that. Chiefs DL is good, the Eagles are pressuring QB’s at historic levels all year.
Chiefs receiving core is fine, AJ Brown is far and away the best and most explosive WR on the field.
The eagles have the best top to bottom roster in the league, have better playmakers and a truly dominant line.
I’d take the bengals, bills and ravens (with a healthy QB) over any team the eagles played this entire year
Great match up...top seeds and classy organizations (if not fans...wink at Iggles folks who booed the NFLWalter Payton Humanitarian of the year.....so Philly)
Most of Philly loves Andy and closet roots for the Chiefs (I do). Love the ride the Birds have taken the Dekaware Valley on this year. Truly special.
Hope for a Super game with no injuries. Go Miles Sanders! PSU first!

The biggest weak spot on the field is for the Chiefs though and that’s at RB.
Not an Eagles fan but I fully understand booing Dak Prescott--and I doubt it was only Eagles fans.
The music during the pregame was cringe--basically everything has been "NFL Legend Doug Williams"--how many people just asked "who?"
