Their pass offense this year has turned into a prayer ball offense. We can stop that. They run the ball well but we are built to contain it. Their defenses strength is stopping the run. The main edge in this game is that their pass defense is begging to be exploited and we have that ability (we just haven't shown it consistently)
I think you're overselling the eagles a bit. We need to move the ball on pass offense. Period. We do that, we win

Actually, I'm done arguing about the passing attack. It is what it is. Either KC will take advantage of their secondary, as many teams have this season, or they won't.
But that DL is as good as pretty much any in the league, significantly better than MIA, and apparently, we had some trouble with their pass rush. I'm inferring that from what I've read since I didn't actually get to see the MIA game. I'm guessing our quick passing game needs to be on point for this one.
However the Chiefs generate points, whether they run it or throw it, they just need to score more points than what they've been averaging over the last month.
If KC can be more efficient on offense than they have been recently, at least get back to what they were doing through the first 4-5 weeks, Chiefs probably win, assuming the defense continues to dominate.
Guessing it'll be something like 23-20 if PHI continues to have issues with their passing game and our offense can exploit their issues in the secondary, while keeping them honest with a consistent rushing attack. Only issue with that, is the fact that PHI has the best run defense (yds/gm), and our rushing game is ranked something like 18th?
My hope is that the bye will give Andy and our passing attack whatever it is they need to take a couple steps upwards and forwards. Andy's been a wizard about coming off the bye his entire career, so I feel relatively confident about that.
Anyway, should be a pretty tight game, but we should learn a lot about our team overall regardless.
