NGT: early Super Bowl pick?

Producer : 1/30/2023 2:34 pm
My heart says Chiefs

My head is saying Eagles.

Defensive pressure might be too tough
I’d rather not say

Makes me want to vomit
I don’t gamble but I might on the Eagles  
BillT : 1/30/2023 2:43 pm : link
Not really but I’ll be shocked and ecstatic if the lose. They seem on a different level to me. Don’t think KC has the horses.
Unfortunately

in a landslide. Unfortunately.

the easy path to the Super Bowl makes the Eagles complacent. I hope they buy into the hype and enter the game feeling like they can win easily...
I actually believe Chiefs can win even if underdog  
Sammo85 : 1/30/2023 3:06 pm : link
I think Eagles may be riding (or flying according to them) too high into this game. They haven’t been tested really at all in like 5-6 weeks. Even the Niners defense kind of took step back yesterday after Johnson went in and bumbled around in his drives in 3rd quarter.

The Chiefs have a solid offensive line. My main concern is their somewhat young secondary and if Sneed is limited.

I think Chiefs need to come in early and punch hard to get out to early lead. Opponents have deferred in many games and allowed Eagles too many times to get off to a quick lead.

I like KC by a 6...

I'm seeing 27-21.

The Eagles ride on the easy train facing Jones, Purdy and Johnson comes to an end. Now, they are stepping up in class facing the great Pat Holmes. And Hall of Fame HC Reid and 2X SB winning DC.

In Pat I Trust...

Mahomes....damn phone.
Love you guys picking the Chiefs  
Producer : 1/30/2023 3:21 pm : link
If anybody can do it, it's Mahomes/Reid. They just need to gameplan for the rush, which they didn't really do vs TB.

I hope you're right because I see Philly in a third straight blowout. Their lines are just too good.

Phi 34 - 17
I don't think it will be a blowout  
Greg from LI : 1/30/2023 3:41 pm : link
But, sadly, I do expect to see the Chiefs lose. As Cippy usually points out, Andy Reid has, with one exception, always been a big game choker.
I think Philly,  
Mad Mike : 1/30/2023 3:41 pm : link
but if Mahomes' ankle isn't an issue, he's certainly extremely dangerous. I'm much less bothered by the Eagles this year than I was five years ago. I couldn't even watch that game, I just found the thought of them winning so distasteful. Now, obviously I really want KC to win, but once they were off the schneid, ehh, it sucks but it's not that big of a deal to me. Same with Sox - 2004 was, obviously, just awful. Since then, I really don't like to see them win, but they snapped the curse, each next one isn't nearly as big a deal.
Chiefs injuries go beyond Mahomes.  
bceagle05 : 1/30/2023 3:50 pm : link
Receivers are banged up and their top corner went down early in the championship game - not sure about his status. Fully expect an Eagles win but will hold out hope that Mahomes has a legendary "legacy game" in him and carries the Chiefs.
i can't help but think...  
only1eli : 1/30/2023 3:58 pm : link
that the eagles win convincingly - perhaps not by a huge margin, but they are a solid team. sad to say it.

yesterday my eldest daughter (5) asked: "Daddy, why are we rooting for the red team?"

i almost responded, reflexively, "because fuck the eagles."

i was with my five and two year old girls... at a michael's getting arts and crafts.
I thought the Eagles would blow out the 49ers  
Danny Kanell : 1/30/2023 4:03 pm : link
but I have a gut feeling the Chiefs win this game.

The Eagles have played the Giants and a 49ers team without a quarterback. Both at home. And the 49ers were within reach until they lost the ability to throw a football.

The Chiefs are another animal. I think the Chiefs beat them.
Ima pickin  
Gforce11 : 1/30/2023 4:28 pm : link
all the whores that are gonna make a killing.

Oh!, you mean the foot ball teams...!?! - sigh, The Shitbirdz! and it won't be close.
The chiefs need to get healthy for it to be a game

I said the same thing about Super Bowl 55. I was so sure New England would win but then a week went by and I changed my pick to Philly.

Philly wins 38-30
Mahomes needs to be healthy  
MeanBunny : 1/30/2023 5:42 pm : link
I would say except for QB and maybe WR #1, Philly is better man to man. Better O-Line, Better Defense, Better running, better special teams.
I though KC looked like a mess last night, but Bengals were playing them hard. Now with Philly, these guys are just good. Made Niners look like rag dolls

Oops. Eagles was Super Bowl 52. Shows how much I block that garbage out.
I think Philly does.  
Breeze_94 : 1/30/2023 6:08 pm : link
Mahomes greatness keeps it close, but Phillys roster is much deeper and much better.

If you rank the top 20 players in this game, I think 15 would be eagles. Only chiefs on it would be Mahomes, Kelce, Jones, Thuney and Humphrey.

My prediction is Philly 34 KC 27

Chiefs. The alternative is unthinkable.

Banks : 1/30/2023 8:25 pm : link
Philly has the better team, but Reid is a damn fine coach. How many times did he get blown out before even with meh rosters? He and Mahomes will keep them in the game. I hope Spags dials up something to stop these assholes

Plus Reid with a week off is usually really really good
