The last thing doesn't often happen in the Super Bowl (and usually only the NFCCG in the last couple weekends since that conference is a shitshow of mediocrity).
Then you hope the refs and injuries don't happen.
And then you're left with one team imploding.
And that goes beyond say the Chiefs being up 21-10 in the AFCCG as we saw, or the Chiefs being down 10 in the Super Bowl without possession of the ball, because teams at this stage are usually explosive enough to get back into it.
I'd be ecstatic if they just kept it at arms length in the 2nd half for the most part and the Eagles never have possession with a chance to take the lead... if it's more out of hand than that, the Eagles are either the fakest SB contender ever or have seriously screwed the pooch (and of course the same goes for the Chiefs if they found themselves in the same spot).

I think there's a 10% chance we win by 7 points or more. Like you said, something crazy like multiple turnovers or Mahomes completely torching this defense are the only way that happens. It's fun to think about and it's not outside of the realm of possibility, but let's be real here. It's extremely unlikely. This is probably gonna be a close one.
