Here’s how we’re betting Super Bowl 57, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Fox.
It all presents a major challenge for this Kansas City offense, which has struggled on this stage before. The last time the Chiefs reached the Super Bowl, they were held to a mere nine points by a Buccaneers defense built awfully similar to this Eagles’ group. A year earlier, Mahomes struggled mightily against the 49ers – throwing two picks, just as he did a year later – but survived thanks to Tyreek Hill and an established run game.
He won’t have either luxury this year. In fact, the Chiefs’ receiving corps is limping into Sunday’s contest after a physical win over the Bengals, forcing Travis Kelce to shoulder an even larger load than usual. That sounds nice on paper, but the Eagles have been sneaky effective at mucking up the middle of the field thanks to their elite cover corners along the boundaries.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will need a big game to help his team beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 57.So what advantages does that leave for Kansas City? In theory, it’s really just Mahomes and Kelce, with star lineman Chris Jones hoping to match the impact we can expect from Philly’s dominant front. That was enough in the AFC Championship, though sloppy play from Cincinnati and some questionable officiating certainly helped the cause.
To those crying foul on the Eagles’ path to the big game: elite teams show their true colors regardless of competition. Philadelphia is just the fifth team in NFL history to win by at least 21 points in the divisional round and conference championship; the previous four teams all won the Super Bowl by an average of 22.3 points.
In many ways, these Eagles are uniquely built to beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57 even without considering Kansas City’s uncertain health. Philadelphia is built to control time of possession – a proven recipe for downing Mahomes – and it can rush the passer without sacrificing coverage on the back end, freeing up defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon to throw extra bodies at the few mismatches that Chiefs coach Andy Reid will undoubtedly target.
