This is the widest variance of outcomes I think I've ever seen for a Super Bowl.
It is perfectly conceivable that the Eagles blow us out, if our interior DL and ends are not up to the challenge of stopping Hurts on the ground and Mahomes just can't wiggle free of the passrush.
It's more likely that the Eagles will edge us out, by Hurts doing just enough against a smart Spags scheme, and Mahomes getting hit so often than his ankle regresses and he's back to his Jacksonville form.
It's also pretty likely that the Chiefs edge them out, as they fence in Hurts just enough and Mahomes goes supernova to outpace him.
There's also a chance the Chiefs blow them out by keeping Mahomes clean just long enough and Spags dominating Hurts' limitations that the Chiefs are up three touchdowns in the third quarter, the Eagles have to air out the ball to catch up and Hurts' injured shoulder just isn't up to the task.
If there a Super Bowl game we've ever seen where all four possibilities are at least somewhat likely?
