Who is Bringing the Lombardi Trophy Home?

Good morning,

Let’s dive in…

Developing Stories 📰

Sundays Super Bowl LVII matchup looks perfect. The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs will kick off on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET. Both of these teams were the #1 seed in their conferences. This has only happened 13 times since the playoffs started seeding teams. The Eagles are currently a 1.5 favorite and the Over/Under is set at 51.

Philadelphia has three strengths in this game that can give the Chiefs problems: A mobile quarterback, a spread offense and a defense that can create pressure with just four rushers. This matchup will come down to who wins in the trenches. On paper the Eagles are better on both sides of the ball. The Eagles led the NFL in sacks and generally don't have to blitz to get to the quarterback. They rank first in both pass rush win rate (52%) and sack rate (11%), along with fifth in pressure percentage (33%). Mahomes doesn't seem to be as mobile since his high ankle sprain. Heavy pressure on Mahomes ruined the Chiefs' chances of winning Super Bowl LV but the Chiefs have upgraded their offensive line since then. They will need their linemen to step up against this top defense. The Chiefs line lead the league in pass block win rate this season (76%).

The Chiefs averaged the most passing yards per game, while the Eagles allowed the fewest passing yards on defense. It's just the third Super Bowl matchup to feature the No. 1 passing offense against the No. 1 passing defense. Mahomes had another MVP season. He threw for over 5,000 yards and led the NFL in touchdown passes. This will be his 14th postseason game in five seasons as a starter. His record is 10-3 so far in those games. His ankle is a concern, but Mahomes threw for 326 yards and two touchdown passes in the AFC Championship Game with the injury. Can Mahomes win his Second Super Bowl? Or will it be the dominant Eagles?

Weekend Picks 🔒

Kelce OVER 78.5 receiving yards | The star tight end is a postseason beast, averaging 86.3 receiving yards in 17 career playoff games. In his two Super Bowls, Kelce has averaged 88 yards per game.

Mahomes OVER 38.5 Pass attempts | Andy Reid knows his best shot at winning his second Super Bowl title is relying on his MVP QB. Mahomes is averaging 39.3 pass attempts over his last nine playoff games. He’s gone over 38.5 throws in five of his previous six playoff appearances and he’s attempted 42 and 49 pass attempts in his last two Super Bowls.

Gainwell Over 19.5 rushing yards | Gainwell has easily hit this total in three straight games. With double-digit carries in his last two games, this line is far too low.
