I don't know why every one is so confident. I'm afraid the Eagles are going to run the ball down our throat. And their D is nothing to take lightly. Course if Pat is 90% or better on his ankle a lot of those fears will go away. It's going to be a tough, close game. Like against Frisco in 54. Nail biter till the end.

**New World Order** · 02-06-2023, 03:11 AM

Chiefs 24-20

RINGLEADER · 02-06-2023, 03:22 AM

Mahomes has only lost 3 times to NFC teams in five seasons.

Twice in his opening season as a starter (the Rams shoot out and at Seattle).

Once during the Bucs in the Super Bowl fiasco.

He missed two NFC match-ups during his second season when Moore came in against the Packers and Vikings.

He’s beat NFC teams by a collective 160 points on his way to a 19-3 record.

Bonus stat: The Chiefs have beaten every NFC team they faced this season and done so by at least two scores (total win differential in five games was 84 points or 16.8 ppg).

Pepe Silvia · 02-06-2023, 03:44 AM

I’m rooting for a Chiefs victory too.

KINGPIN CHIEFS FAN · 02-06-2023, 04:57 AM

Chiefs win 31-20, same score as Superbowl LIV. Doesn't matter which receivers play as long as PMII is the quarterback. Andy will utilize all of his tight ends and running backs in the pass game and Philadelphia won't be able to stop the onslaught.

Chris Meck · 02-06-2023, 05:38 AM

I can't make a prediction until I know who's going to play, and how healthy they are.

CupidStunt · 02-06-2023, 06:47 AM

Chiefs 24
Eagles 20

Both teams grind out clock-eating possessions. Clean game, no turnovers. In the end, Mahomes is the difference with KC scoring 3 TD, 1 FG vs Philly's 2 TD, 2 FG.

493rd · 02-06-2023, 07:05 AM

If football is indeed won in the trenches then the Chiefs are at a serious disadvantage. The Eagles D line is ferocious and gets tons of pressure and sacks rushing just 4. Can OBJ and Wiley really be trusted? And if the Eagles drop 7 can our patchwork WR corp get open? On the other side we’re going up against what’s likely the best O line the league has seen in a long time. And the Eagles just held 2 better D lines — SF and Dallas — to zero sacks and few pressures. Spags will need to get creative to get pressure because it’s hard to imagine Jones, Clark, and Co being effective on their own.

Of course the intangible is Mahomes. He’s the guy it’s hard to bet against. But it’s a team game and the Eagles are healthier. If our WR corp was intact for this one I’d pick the Chiefs. But it’s not and I can’t see Toney being effective on a bum ankle or JJSS on a bum knee. I don’t think Moore, Watson, and MVS are good enough to overcome in this one. Even if Kelce has a big game.

Eagles in a close one.

This. IF the defense plays like they did last week, and receivers are fully healthy (Sans Mecole), they will easily win by 10.

If they play average D, and receivers aren't healthy, this will be super close or a loss unfortunately. The 2 weeks off helps A LOT.

JPH83 · 02-06-2023, 07:20 AM

I feel like there's a good chance it's much closer than some are imagining. If both teams were equally healthy I'd feel more confident than I did before the Bengals game, despite the Eagles roster, I think, being stronger across the board. As it stands I think there's a few key things. IF we can run it against them it'll be massive, but it's not a given imo, if we get guys open whilst also offering extra protection for Mahomes (which we'll need), if our DL can offer ANY resistance to the run and/or we use our safeties and LBs effectively, if Toney is healthy the whole game.

Chris Simms' take is that the Chiefs have to do more outside of their usual approach to win this game, but that 2 weeks gives Reid time to do that. That sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Chris Meck · 02-06-2023, 07:31 AM

I really think heavy usage of 13 personnel (especially if we're thin at WR) could help in a lot of ways.

Kelce, Gray, and Fortson are matchup problems in pass coverage, and they can be a big help attacking the perimeter in the run game.

That's why I'm not all that worried about the health of our WRs. Obviously, if our usual guys are healthy, that's certainly ideal but the keys to success for our pass offense in this game are the TE's and backs, no matter who is play WR. If I could only pick one injured guy to play this week, I'd take Sneed in a heartbeat.

KC_Lee · 02-06-2023, 07:46 AM

KC - 24
Philly - 21

MVP - Travis Kelce, 10 rec for 135 yards, 2 TDs

DrunkBassGuitar · 02-06-2023, 08:10 AM

I honestly don't care, like in a zen way. Like not because I'm tired of the Chiefs or anything, I want them to win and I think they will win by a TD, and I'll be invested but like IDK I feel like the superbowl is just like playing with house money at this point? I honestly didn't expect to win a SB this year (although I didn't see any games that were definitely a loss). It's not like the SB in 20 when it was ending the drought, or against Tom ****ing Brady. This is the first SB I'll be able to just like, enjoy.

It's possible that there's going to be too many injuries to overcome which I think would be why they might lose and that honestly doesn't bother me. There's not a ton you can do about injuries so I can't get upset by it.

Like even if we lose (and again I don't think we do) we'll be back in the very short term (maybe even next season).

We're not going to have Mahomes forever so I'm just trying to enjoy the ride we're on now regardless of the outcome.
