Since it's only one game, I will ask for the following
Who wins (regardless of point spread)?
Who do you take with the Chiefs favored by 1.5 points?
The over/under is 48.5 points. Do you take the over or the under?
Eagles , Eagles and under. :sick:
I feel if I "want" the Eagles to win and bet on them they will lose. Sooo I'm trying to trick the universe. I'll emotionally hedge / hate bet on the Eagles to win. Not sure how much I'm willing to spend yet. 200$ ? What's a good dollar amount to be worth it?
Chiefs
Chiefs
Over.
To me the Eagles have the better top to bottom roster, but the Chiefs have all time greats at the QB and head coach position, which is huge. While either team is capable of winning this game, I can't fade the Mahomes/Reid combo.
When these two teams played in the SB a couple years back, the game was very close. There was a somewhat flukey 4th quarter fumble by Hurts that played a big role in the final outcome. I would argue this year's Eagles team is a lot better than that one. Is this Chiefs team worse than that one? Hard to say, but I wouldn't say I think it's much better.
There's a real case for the Eagles here, and they could win. But gun to my head I just can't fade Mahomes/Reid in a Super Bowl right now. Either outright or against the spread.

And don't forget Spags. He knows how to stifle high-powered offenses.
A former Giants stand-out gets a ring....Spags or Saquan. Toss-up. I just want to see a good game.
Eagles got hosed on the field conditions last time. Their pass rush was limited which helped the spotty OLine of the Chiefs. Not that I'm complaining but it def was a factor last time.
Chiefs and the over
30-27 final
Peace!

I'm the same as kartanoman...
It'll go to OT however to give the game a lil more pizazz!

G-Time: This is also my approach. I will root for the Eagles and prepare for "disappointment." lol I can't stand the Eagles head coach (a real so-and-so). I respect and hold Andy Reid (for all the years he refused to run the ball as Eagles' coach (which often resulted in Giants' victories against the Eagles and totally infuriated Eagles fans). Bob
Their last game was close, but Mahomes also had half of an ankle and hobbled through the postseason. He is good now, him and Reid know how to win, and other vets such as Hopkins and Hollywood are going to play hard for their rings while this team will give it everything to make history.
Chiefs 31
Eagles 25
I'm rooting for the Chiefs. I want "there will be no threepeat" only to be said by a former Giant in reference to the Giants. Not to mention I HATE the iggles. Mahomes/Reid are ALL-TIME, and watching Mahomes magic is a lot of fun. The iggles will try to take him out in a similar fashion of how they attacked Purdy's arm in last year's NFC Championship game. Justly or not I associate Eagle football with thuggery. The Saquon stuff doesn't bother me. He's an ex-Giant, and now means nothing to me.
Hate to say this but:
Think the Eagles win. Something like 24-20, Barkley MVP.
Eagles, Eagles, under
Oh is there another game this week? Ho Hum, can they both lose? I guess that is Impossible. I hate the Eagles almost as much as I hate the Cowturds. Just no way I could ever root for them to win anything.
I don't hate the Chiefs, I just hate any team that wins over and over while;e we flounder in lower than mediocrity, and if they win will that mean more Mahones and Reed commercials, God, I hope not.
Anyway, if I have to pick someone, it's the Chiefs and I hope they demolish the Eagles.
If the game is "over" then the Chiefs win.
If the game is "under" then the Eagles win.
It's all about the Eagles defense playing better than one of the best QB's ever to take the field.
