Chiefs vs Eagles Prediction
Eagles 27, Chiefs 24
The Eagles are the most well-rounded team in the NFL. Just take a look at how they rank on offense and defense, per Football Outsiders:
- Strong passing game: 9th in Pass DVOA
- Elite running game: 1st in Rush DVOA
- Stout pass defense: 1st in Pass DVOA
Philadelphia has the best offensive line in the NFL along with a pass rush that features four players with double-digit sacks.
We have a mismatch here, with the Eagles’ ninth-ranked passing offense taking on a Chiefs defense that comes in 20th in Pass DVOA.
Kansas City had trouble slowing down Tee Higgins (6 receptions, 83 yards, 1 TD) and Ja’Marr Chase (6 & 75) in their win against the Bengals. This was despite the fact that Cincinnati really struggled in pass protection.
That’s bad news against an Eagles team that features A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, two wideouts that each went over 1,100 receiving yards during the regular season.
This is a duo that comes close to Chase and Higgins, except the Eagles have strong pass protection and Hurts is a more mobile quarterback than Joe Burrow. We could see Kansas City have trouble slowing them down.
While the Chiefs have the best quarterback in the NFL in Mahomes, Philly’s strengths in pass-rush and coverage can help keep him in check.
This should be a close game, but the Eagles are the better team, giving them the edge in the Super Bowl.

The Eagles have the efficient running game to keep Mahomes off the field along with elite pass coverage and pass-rush to slow down this Chiefs’ offense.
Philly also has a stacked arsenal on offense if this game were to turn into a shootout.
We’re getting a reasonable price on the moneyline, so we’ll pay up instead of laying the points on the spread.

Over 50 Total Points (-110) at DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 Unit
While the Under has hit in six consecutive playoff games, we’re going against that trend in this matchup.
This game should be close with 50 points being a reasonable bar to clear for these two elite offenses.
The extra week of rest should help Mahomes get closer to 100 percent as he continues to deal with an ankle injury.
With that in mind, it makes you feel more comfortable taking the Over in this spot.
