Philadelphia Eagles vs Kansas City Chiefs Preview

Philadelphia Eagles

Just under 12 months ago, the Philadelphia Eagles were listed at $41 to win Super Bowl LVII, however a series of shrewd offseason moves gave them a massive jump start and they entered Week 1 at $26.

Season two of the Nick Sirianni/Jalen Hurts experience saw the Eagles out of the gates flying, going 8-0 on the back of a varied offensive attack and relentless defence that forced a turnover in 17 of their 19 games this season.

While they did stumble over the Christmas period as Jalen Hurts battled a shoulder injury, they turned up in the playoffs, dismantling the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers to book a trip to Arizona.

While Hurts is the first to admit he is a way off being 100% healthy, he has the supporting cast to help him out with receivers AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, plus running back Miles Sanders and tight end Dallas Goedert.

This group has set their sights on repeating the feats of the Nick Foles lead Super Bowl LII champions as they look to bring a second Lombardi Trophy back to the City of Brotherly Love.

Kansas City Chiefs

In Kansas City, the bar is set so high for the Andy Reid/Patrick Mahomes duo, that a 14-3 record and another Super Bowl trip is seen as standard fare as opposed to a massive achievement.

Plenty of punters backed the Chiefs to raise the Vince Lombardi Trophy this season and they have been amongst the Super Bowl favourites since the day the market opened.

After opening at $7.00, their odds “blew out” to $11 following the stunning trade of Tyreek Hill but that was as high as their price got once the action on the field kicked off in September.

Presumptive MVP Patrick Mahomes overcame the loss of one of his most dynamic playmakers by leaning on Travis Kelce and elevating the play of the supporting cast to an acceptable level.

Throughout the season, they may not have been the punter’s best friend, going 14-3 during the regular season but only covering on seven occasions, largely due to the massive lines they faced most weeks.

11 of their 16 wins were by 13 points or less, with the Chiefs occasionally pushed to the final whistle and also having a comfortable lead that teams found a way to eat into during garbage time.

With Mahomes showing an ankle injury will not slow him down in the AFC Championship, he will be desperate to add a second Super Bowl title to his resume.

Best Bet

Any time the Kansas City Chiefs are installed as underdogs you have to think long and hard about backing them because those opportunities are few and far between.

After all, even with one good leg Mahomes still found a way to throw his team to victory, but the other injuries on the Chiefs make it very tough to jump on their bandwagon.

In the AFC Championship Kansas City lost a trio of key receivers, cornerback L’Jarius Sneed and linebacker Willie Gay Jr, which could leave them shorthanded in the Super Bowl.

As we saw in Super Bowl LV, there’s only so much Mahomes can do when the Chiefs were defeated by Tampa Bay.

On the other side there are still questions over Jalen Hurts but he has shown over the last two weeks he can go out and do the job that is asked of him.

Even if that job simply involves handing off to Miles Sanders and trusting his defence to make enough stops on Mahomes and company to give the Eagles the victory.

Plus with a deep and vicious pass rush, they should be able to put enough pressure on to knock Kansas City out of rhythm and prevent them from causing too much damage with big plays.
