Eagles -1 spread v Chiefs

cosmicj : 1/30/2023 12:00 pm
I’m surprised by this and would have expected it to be higher, with the Eagles more favored.

What do you think of that spread?
I am seeing Eagles -2 everywhere...  
Chris in Philly : 1/30/2023 12:01 pm : link
If Mahomes can run, it should be an evenly matched game. But I may not even watch. Because fuck the Eagles.
Eagles -2.5 on my book  
OBJ_AllDay : 1/30/2023 12:01 pm : link
Where are you seeing -1? I'll be on kc but I expect it to be between +2 and +2.5. doubt it stay on 3 for long if it gets there in the next two weeks

Chiefs game ended. Even at -2 or -2.5, it still seems low. The Eagles have thumped the spread convincingly in their two playoff games.
Should be a pickem...  
bw in dc : 1/30/2023 12:08 pm : link
But I don't have a problem with Philly being a slight favorite.

I expect Mahomes to be close to 100% and further demonstrate why he's the best QB in the NFL. The Chiefs are winning. Better QB, better HC, and a SB winning DC.

And this will spare BBI nation the cruelty of that hideous city winning another SB.
Eagles are not playing at home  
Tom from LI : 1/30/2023 12:08 pm : link
I think that is why it could be lower. If Mahomes is healthy it will be a close game.

You and I never agree about anything, but I pray to every deity in history that you are right...
I hope like hell the Chiefs will win

But I doubt I watch the game. I'm sure I'll have something more fun and entertaining to do, like cleaning out my dryer vent or scrubbing my bathroom floor with a toothbrush.

C’mon, Mahomes played some absolutely brilliant football yesterday. It was a pleasure to watch as a fan. More, please.
Philly, and it's over in 3Q.

This isn't Donovan McNabb.

I hate the Eagles, but they're dominating right now at a level rarely seen. KC is banged up, Cindy just showed how to beat them.

Just don't shove Mahomes out of bounds!

yeah because if the Eagles win the Empire State Building will be shooting fireworks off the top of it in celebration.

Dankbeerman : 1/30/2023 12:19 pm : link
Even if Mahomes is 100% The Eagles are much healthier and their depth on DL is going to push Andy to abandon the run game and that will let them pessure Mahomes and give him more fits then Tampa Bay did.

There's no carry over in this league. The eagles haven't been tested in over a month really. KC has weapons all over the field too and Reid will out scheme that buffoon of a HC.

Mahomes can't do it alone. Remember how the KC-Tampa Super Bowl went, with Mahomes running for his life? I anticipate a replay of that given all of KC's injuries on offense.
Philly wins by 7+

That was more so because of the KC offensive line.

Right now they have a really good one and should neutralize the Philly D somewhat.

In a game like this you really have to run the ball and we all know Andy Reid despite his success hates to do that but....

Philly has a much better pass rush that 2020 Tampa did, though

I also suspect Reid is not stupid enough to keep trying to block Reddick by swinging a backup TE across the formation. Fucking idiot Shanahan.
I like KC

Hurts must be still hurting because his passing has been lousy. Two more weeks for Mahomes to heal.
Chiefs oline is pretty good  
ajr2456 : 1/30/2023 12:48 pm : link
And they’ve been stout against the run all year. I don’t think Philly suns this as easily as people think.
As soon as the line came out, the Eagles were 2.5 underdogs.  
robbieballs2003 : 1/30/2023 12:50 pm : link
Within about a half an hour, the line progressively switched to them being the favorites by 2.5.

2020 Bucs had a higher pressure rate than the 2022 Eagles. Eagles converted more to sacks though.

Chiefs went into that game missing both starting OTs.

Chiefs have a good OL. They have one of the better guards in the league and the center who was drafted is outstanding.

If Mahomes can recover a bit more they should be able to compete favorably.

Maybe Spags can identify the Eagles flaws and exploit them.

Eagles beat the Giants  
Beezer : 1/30/2023 1:26 pm : link
and a team without any threat to throw the football. I think some of you are getting sucked in.

Mahomes will be healthy, the KC O-line is going to be better, and Chris Jones, bitches.

Eagles fans will be sad. It will be glorious. Book it.

I really like the KC staff over Philly's coaching staff. Reid and Spags have two weeks to cook up something and I think they will. You know Reid is extra motivated to do so. Go Chiefs!

I would agree with those points. But Mahomes need to be healthy because he will be flushed......but if healthy that's where his biggest plays come from.

I also think when the Eagles play against a competent offense - they give up points. And KC scores points (most in the league).

I definitely like the over (49.5).

I'll be shocked if the Chiefs win.

The Eagles look like the most complete football teams, on both sides of the ball, that I have seen in some time.

Last night, you can see he wanted this matchup. He couldn't contain his grin after they were asking about it and reminding everyone he isn't celebrating yet. For a coach who has done it all, he looks very determined to give a great effort. I think if Mahomes can be effective, KC will score points. Not sure how their defense shuts down Philly. I know Philly will get stops, just not sure KC will though.

Chiefs are going to have a tough time against the Philly front. If they can block that pass rush, they have a chance. I'm not excited to watch this game.

of the Eagles blind you vision. The Eagles have bullied almost every team they played this year, and it will be the same in the Super Bowl.
Mahomes will not be near full health and like Sunday as the game wears on that ankle will get worse. Yes he is better than Hurts, but everything else will be in the Eagles favor. Hurts is much closer to being 100% and will be able to make all the runs he needs. The Eagles WRs are every bit as good as KC, their run game is much better and I'll take the Eagles defense over the Chiefs.
Yeah, I do not get the spread being that close.

Now, let's go Chiefs.

It's one game. Not a series.

So, having Mahomes/Reid/Spags is a great trio to bank one for one game against a team with very little SB experience, especially the QB.
