Chiefs vs Eagles Super Bowl Prediction

Published on

Kansas City is on the road playing Philadelphia at the State Farm Stadium stadium on Sunday, 2/12/2023 @ 6:30pm EST. Philadelphia -2 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.

For the first time since the Eagles beat the Patriots in Super Bowl 52, the two No. 1 seeds in the NFL playoffs are competing for a ring in Super Bowl 57. Kansas City tries to go two-for-four in Super Bowls, while Philadelphia hopes to win two in five years.

A number of reasons make the Eagles' offense difficult to slow down. With Hurts, Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott joining the power running success, they can be a dominant rushing team behind the best offensive line in the NFL. Hurts can also throw the ball to dynamic wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, making them a dangerous downfield passing team. In the AFC championship game, the Chiefs got a couple key interceptions from a Bengals one-dimensional offense, but they can't expect the same luxury in the Super Bowl with their pass rush.

Because of their athletic blocking, the Eagles poked holes in the 49ers' run defense. It is expected that the Chiefs will also be exploited on the ground and Steve Spagnuolo will need to bend, don't break again. Taking Brown or Smith away from coverage will be challenging, and they also need to consider the tough matchup versus tight end Dallas Goedert.

A deep and versatile pass rush that can get to Mahomes from the edge or inside, often with only four players, led the Eagles with 70 sacks during the regular season.

Aside from Darius Slay and James Bradberry, the Eagles also have two excellent cornerbacks outside. In addition, they have added safeties, linebackers and extra defensive backs to make their coverage more rangy. The Eagles also have great depth on defense, which makes them just as complete as their offense.

Reid and Eric Bieniemy will adjust the personnel groupings to find the right matchups with Mahomes, who will spread the ball out and get it out quickly. 

In theory, the Eagles should be able to limit Mahomes' big plays with their sound back-end play behind the league's most efficient pass rush. Mahomes, on the other hand, should be able to make plenty of off-script plays in a couple weeks.

In order to help Mahomes and Kelce, the Chiefs must find multiple X-factors. The deep threat Marquez Valdes-Scantling has expanded his repertoire to make key catches all over the field for Mahomes in the playoffs. They will hope Kadarius Toney and JuJu Smith-Schuster are healthy enough to provide more sparks in the Super Bowl. With limited touches, Isiah Pacheco or Jerick McKinnon can make a huge impact.

The Eagles don't quite have the same 1-2 punch with their legs in fill-in punter Brett Kern and kicker Jake Elliott. They also have seen limited returns from Boston Scott on kickoffs and Britain Covey on punts.

Kansas City Betting

With a power ranking of 3, Kansas City is ranked #1 in offense (scoring an average of 29.06 per game), #15 in defense (allowing an average of 21.61 points to be scored against them per game) and are 16-3 (8-11 ATS) this season.

Philadelphia Betting

Philadelphia Eagles has a power ranking of 8 and are #2 for offense (scoring an average of 28.61 per game), #6 for defense (giving up an average of 21.61 points per game) and 16-3 (10-9 ATS) overall. Kansas City went 0-3 (0-3 ATS) in their last 3 matchups against Philadelphia.

Chiefs vs Eagles Super Bowl Prediction

The Chiefs had several players go down in their win over Cincinnati but with two weeks to heal up I expect a healthy Kansas City Chiefs team for Super Bowl 57. The Chiefs defense was able to get to Joe Burrow repeatedly and I expect they do the same against Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts can't be trusted with passing the ball deep and and Kansas City will have the best player (and passer) on the field in Patrick Mahomes. Should be an epic battle but Chiefs win this one outright in a high scoring shootout, and Mahomes starts to enter the G.O.A.T. conversation in the process.>

Score prediction: Chiefs 31 to Eagles 27
