Who wins?
Eagles defense should be the difference.
AJ Brown is a bad man!
Mecole Hardman, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kadarius Toney, Willie Gay and L'Jarius Sneed have all missed time today. We know Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are fighting through their own injuries. But they still got the result they wanted.
Eagles 45
Chiefs 3
Or
Eagles 31
Cheifs 28
Pick 6 of Mahomes for the win.
Philly is the early 2.5 point favorite. I'd jump on that before it goes to 3 if I were a bettor.

Patrick Mahomes: I definitely didn’t feel good, but did enough on that last play
One of the biggest storylines heading into the AFC Championship Game was how Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes would fare with the high ankle sprain he suffered in the team’s divisional round win over the Jaguars.
Yawn.
Eagles 34
Chiefs 26
I like the Philly run game, and what bothers me is that their guys aren't much bigger than ours....they just play better.
Same with the receivers on both teams. Not much faster or better, but hands of glue.
Solid defensive lines, good push.
If Mahomes can move around, Chiefs win. If he's as gimpy as he was yesterday, Eagles pass rush will demolish him
Rooting for the Eagles.
Eagles win on a last second play that should have been a penalty against the eagles. KC fans devastated.
Will the Chiefs have a full WR compliment?
Should have been us...
No
It shouldn't have.
Vegas set odds in August which doesn't really care about anything outside of drawing $$. Then the over the top hype kicked in.
A good team with holes doesn't beat more complete teams with less holes very often. Cinci and KC were obviously far stronger after our mid-season Bye week. Many posters not driven by emotion and gambling posted the same the last couple of months and I agreed with them. Then the Hamlin injury nailed the coffin.
The Bengals loss was real and no doubt jolted Beane back to earth. They didn't belong there. Maybe next year.
I like the Eagles. Inferior QB but tremendous big men in the trenches and a D that always looks imposing. HC looks to be a good one. Only turnovers can beat them.
It will take a lot from 1 leg Mahomes to beat the Eagles. He may do it but it was already a task if he was 100 % healthy. He'll resort to gimmick ball.
I hope the Eagles crush the Chiefs souls and dump the remnants in the Delaware River.
Either team can win this game.
There are plenty of procrastinators who will lay down their predictions. Not me.
BUT, I’ll be rooting for the Eagles.
Yardrat put it perfectly....
"I hope the Eagles crush the Chiefs souls and dump the remnants in the Delaware River."
I always root for the Eagles when they aren't playing the Bills. Like I said before, my family is from that area and most of my extended family is still there. And, they're in the NFCE which means they play a lot of games against the 3 teams that beat us in the SB. I don't actively follow them like I do with the Bills, but I do root for them against anyone except us.
But, once it became KC/Cincy, I was rooting for the NFC team no matter what. Cincy was great with the whole Hamlin thing, but then they became total *****s in the playoffs. I'm sick of Mahomes, and the Chiefs knocked us out of the playoffs two years in a row.
I can't cheer for Philly. Their fanbase is a bunch of glue sniffing morons who worship a statue of a fake boxer.
That's cold, man.

Mecole Hardman won’t practice, doubtful for Super Bowl
The Chiefs will be without three wide receivers for Thursday’s practice and head coach Andy Reid cast serious doubt on getting one of them back for Super Bowl LVII against the Eagles.
Mecole Hardman returned to action in the AFC Championship Game after an extended layoff due to a pelvis injury, but was forced out of the win over the Bengals after aggravating it. He was listed as out on Wednesday’s estimated practice report and Reid said Thursday that he is not expecting Hardman back in Arizona.

Jalen Hurts on his best play of the season: “Season’s not over”
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts hinted that he’s expecting his best moment of the year to come at Super Bowl LVII. Asked to name his best play of the season, Hurts said he won’t be able to say that until after the Super Bowl.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...arder-for-him/
Fletcher Cox: When your QB is like Jalen Hurts, you want to play harder for him
“His approach, No. 1 — the way he approaches things, the way he approaches the team when he’s speaking,” Cox said. “He’s always the same Jalen every time you see him. He doesn’t get too high, doesn’t get too low. And you can’t help but respect a guy like that.
“Even when times, things aren’t going our way or his way, you never see him really frustrated. You never see him screaming at a teammate for maybe messing something up or it didn’t go the way that he wanted it to go. When your quarterback is like that, you definitely want to go out and play harder for him.”
The Eagles were 14-1 in games Hurts started in the regular season this year, with the QB completing 66.5 percent of his passes for 3,701 yards with 22 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also rushed for 760 yards with 13 TDs.
I'll give them the credit if they win it, but they haven't faced Mahomes and Reid with a vet team in a Super Bowl.
The only thing I'd be unhappy about is that they figured it out way faster than we did, despite everything we pretended to put into it.

The first million-dollar bet for Super Bowl LVII has landed
Someone has bet $1 million on the Eagles straight up with BetMGM, at -125 odds. The bet will pay, if Philly wins, $800,000. And if the Chiefs win, a million bucks is gone forever.

Patrick Mahomes: We lost an all-time great receiver in Tyreek Hill, but our coaches adapted
“We accepted the challenge as players, the coaches and Coach Bieniemy accepted the challenge,” Mahomes said. “We lost an all-time great receiver in Tyreek Hill, someone that did a lot of great things for us, but we’ve got a lot of great receivers as well, and coach Bieniemy and Coach Reid, they went in there and learned what their strengths were, and we maximized that this year. It’s not just the players, it’s the coaches, it’s everybody in that building.”
Every SB is about cheering against a team. Rarely fun. I’ve resolved the fact the Chiefs are going to win but hoping for a miracle.
It'll depend on the ankle. (Mahomes)
AJ Brown might be a problem for KC's defense as well.
My favorite Super Bowl commercial this year! :rockon:
