No need to wait any longer to post this, nothing is going to change my perspective on this game over the next week. Everything has already been said in the forum on this breakdown. I'll be posting some things in this thread throughout the week that point to both sides but like last week, I'm going with the better QB and coaching staff. Eagles have the advantages in the trenches, much more when they are on offense vs KC dline as opposed to their defense vs. KC's oline (one reason I tend to like the Over). Philly will be able to run the ball efficiently, maybe get a turnover from Mahomes. They'll have some explosive pass plays downfield to AJ and Devontae. I expect the game to be tight, as nearly every single KC game is played. Mahomes will be the difference though, as greatness often shows up under the brightest lights. Spags is undefeated when going up against a QB not named Tom Brady in the Super Bowl (2-1 vs Brady and 1-0 vs non Brady's). While collectively Philly is the better team, this is Hurts' first visit to the SB and Mahomes' 3rd. Mahomes is coming back after losing the last one to Tom. Tom is retired now. Maths check out in favor of Patrick. I like KC's offensive line to hold up well enough that Andy's game plan keeps Mahomes and company in position to win down the stretch and Spags defensive plan creates an opportunity (or more) to make a stand when needed vs Hurts & co.

You lost me at Andy Reids game plan. 1 Superbowl bowl in 24 seasons as a head coach. Lost many big games with better teams. Not the coach you want in a big game

Game plan, yes, as in "the plan going into the big game"....not "in game management". Could Big Red blow an "in game" clock management decision or something similar to "lose" the game? Yes, he is fully capable of this happening. One of the measured risks of course.

What worry me now is the way KC won the last game. I called that extreme "circumstance win". let me give you a few examples.
Jack came back win against chargers = L next game
Dallas beat Tampa = L
SF played Eagle = L
These games were all "fake strong" and turned out to be losers. As for KC + Pat + ESPN push... I am afraid that Eagle is going to win and cover at least 2 TDs. Not mentioning that people love KC and hate Eagles. Defense always win the game. Pat leg will be a big factor and he might be out in 1hf if the sacks are coming all in full force. Pat could play as bad as he played Brady last time. He is not god and he is not that good in my book.

Andy Reid wasn't always, but has now become one of the elite coaches in the NFL. The way that his team performs on a week to week basis is so consistent that you can't deny him as a great coach.

I watched him blow alot of games for the Eagles due to poor play calling and clock management. He often seems flustered in game. He has 1 superbowl in 24 seasons as a head coach. I think he's a good coach, a winning coach but not elite. If he wins Sunday would probably change my opinion a bit

Winning a Super Bowl is not easy my friend. He taken a team to the playoffs 16 times if I'm not mistaken. 16 playoff appearances in 24 seasons is pretty impressive. I also believe he's been to the championship game 9 times and this is his 4th Super bowl appearance. Not many coaches with those kind of numbers

initially I looked at the obvious things in comparison.. recency forces the lean on the Eagles but the more I look at this game the line and the facts.. my GUT keeps telling me Kansas City Chiefs should be favored and win this game.. what’s crazy is Chiefs and Eagles this season including playoffs have the same exact •16-3 record •Points scored 546 •all pro selections 6 •conference seed 1
(this is without Tyreek)
Kansas City Chiefs have been sneaky under the radar all season because of Bills Bengals.. including all the QB attention in the AFC all season long..Spotlights on now
this is an upset special..
Good Luck
Winning isn’t everything.. It’s the Only thing.

I hear you, and I hear Philly backers, don't dismiss anyone for backing either side here. It reminds me of the SF/KC SB, a lot of similarities going into that game narrative wise for each team and comparative analytics. It does NOT remind me at all of the KC/Tampa Super Bowl.
Am I biased ? Yes, I recognize and admit I have a built in bias no matter how I want to frame it in my mind. I have no problem laying off a KC game when needed. This is not one of those times, although a 3u play for me is pretty standard on a game I feel strongly about. Prior to the Divisional games I made a play on Philly to beat KC in the SB at 11:1. This was somewhat of a hedge on my KC futures but also at the time I felt if these two teams met in the SB then Philly would likely win. Why? Their run game and defense. I backed Philly big to win the NFC at 6u, largest posted play of my small sample size of posted plays here. I believe in Hurts, he is a gamer. Philly's defense is nasty and their offensive line is likely the best in the league. Everyone talked about SF's run game, well Philly's is better and was better for the majority of the year. Most sacks since 85 Bears, all that is legit.
That was 3 weeks ago and while my evaluation of the x's and o's matchup hasn't changed too much, I feel the advantage now is with KC and I've made my wager accordingly. KC has the best / highest ranked efficiency offense in the league. Philly is going to see a QB and offense on a level they have yet to face this entire year. Yes, I agree with you that they have been under the radar much of the year, especially going into the playoffs where the Bills/Bengals controversy was taking up all the spotlight. KC's defense is nothing "special" but Spags is an opportunistic game planner and much like in the SF Super Bowl, I expect that defense to make the stops when needed, Mahomes be Mahomes to take his 2nd SB ring the same year that we see Tom ride off into the sunset.
Half of us will be right and half of us will be wrong on this one....hope you end up on the right side
