Bleeding Green Nation
Will Philadelphia get their revenge on Kansas City?
Our picks for Super Bowl LIX between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs are in!
Bleeding Green Nation staff members are here to predict the winners of every game on the schedule. We’ll tally the results along the way and see who comes out on top at the end of the season. Feel free to post your own predictions or discuss the writer predictions in the comments.
You, the reader, can also join in on the fun by voting for who you think will win the games (scroll down for polls). I’ll tally those results in a “BGN Community” section under our picks table generated by Tallysight.
After the Conference Championship Round, the collective BGN Community has officially clinched first place in the overall standings! Congrats, y’all. I think that’s the first-ever win for you? Tyler Jackson finished as the top staff member. The playoff standings are obviously still to be decided.
When it comes to the big game on Sunday, the BGN staff is NOT unanimously favoring the Birds. The Eagles opened as 1.5-point home underdogs and that line has remained unchanged, according to FanDuel.

How can I pick the Eagles if I’ve been saying the Chiefs’ threepeat is inevitable dating back to last February?
Saquon Barkley and Vic Fangio are temping me to change my mind.
But I’m not at the point where I can doubt the Chiefs.
I need to see them lose to truly believe it’s going to happen.
CHIEFS 26, EAGLES 23
There have been three times in my life I’ve felt this confident about a Philadelphia sports team playing in a championship-level situation. In 2008, I knew the Phillies were beating the Rays in the World Series. I knew it to my core. I also knew the Eagles were going to smoke the 49ers in the 2022 NFC Championship Game. Check my Twitter timeline, I predicted a blowout. I also was sure the Eagles were going to beat Tampa in the 2002 NFC Championship Game. We all know how that worked out. So I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not that I feel so confident in this Eagles team going to New Orleans and preventing the Chiefs’ three-peat, but this team feels like it was artificially generated in a lab to beat this Kansas City squad.
The Eagles have a defense that lives...
