Eagles vs. Chiefs Prediction:
Take the Chiefs to three-peat on Sunday night. They’ve lost one game all season with Patrick Mahomes under center. I don’t think they will lose again. The Eagles rely heavily on their run offense with Saquon Barkley. But the Chiefs bring a great rushing defense, allowing just 4.2 yards per attempt, ranking 9th in the NFL. They struggled a bit against James Cook and the Bills, allowing 6.5 yards per attempt to him, but I don’t think they will allow that to happen again. Steve Spagnuolo will make sure his defense slows down the run, and put all the pressure on Jalen Hurts, who has been up and down all season, to beat them through the air. The Chiefs rank 4th in opponent points per game, allowing 19.4.
On the other side, the Eagles have the top ranked defense in the league, giving up just 17.9 points per game. They rank 3rd in takeaways per game and have averaged 3.3 takeaways per game over the first 3 games of the playoffs. However, the Chiefs have been great at protecting the ball. Patrick Mahomes struggled with interceptions early on in the season, but he hasn’t thrown one in any of the last 8 games and has just two in the last 11 games. On top of that, the Chiefs have lost just 4 fumbles all season. The Chiefs offense has combined for 55 points in their two postseason matchups, and have multiple weapons that can make big plays.
I think this will be a very good game, and it should stay very close. But Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, and the Kansas City Chiefs know how to take care of business in the Big Game. I’ll roll with them here to win another Championship.
