Jimmy Kempski’s Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl LIX pick - PhillyVoice
The Eagles are the better team, and they are going to win comfortably on Super Bowl Sunday. The Chiefs get a late garbage-time TD and two-point conversion to make the score look closer than it is, the Eagles recover an onsides kick, and the Birds hoist their second Lombardi Trophy in front of the art museum. Grease the poles.
Super Bowl 2025: Chiefs-Eagles picks, key stats, predictions - ESPN
The Eagles will win convincingly. Even when we exclude Week 18 (both teams rested players), the Eagles hold a solid-to-sizable edge in offensive, defensive and overall EPA. The 2024 Chiefs are infamous for their knack of finding ways to sneak by with wins, but the Eagles have had about the same success in the win column after a slow start (both are 15-1 in their past 16 games, excluding Week 18) and have done so in a more convincing fashion.
The Ringer Staff’s Kansas City Chiefs–Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Predictions - The Ringer
Sheil Kapadia. Winner: Eagles. Score: 24-21. MVP: Barkley. Does it feel good to pick against Mahomes? Of course not. But I think that the Eagles will be able to get off massive runs with Barkley, and their defense majors in not allowing explosive plays. This seems like it will be a tightly contested back-and-forth game that’s not decided until the fourth quarter—or later. I think that the Eagles offense will get the ball at the end, needing a few first downs to ice the game, and they’ll come through, never giving Mahomes a final chance to steal it.
Super Bowl 2025: Eagles offense vs. Chiefs defense is fascinating chess match - SB Nation
Welcome to part two of the Super Bowl LIX breakdown from Establish the Fun. Read our film review of the Chiefs offense vs. Eagles defense. Now let’s dive into the other side of the ball. Now, you’re probably expecting me to start off with something here about QB Jalen Hurts and the passing game. YOU THOUGHT WRONG! As up and down as Hurts and the Eagles’ passing game has been this season, they do so well at avoiding these situations because they’re one of the best rushing teams in the sport. Kansas City will have to be much better in their defense on the ground than they were in their win over the Bills in the AFC title game against this Eagles team, but how both teams get to their run schemes is much different. While the Bills majored in duo, mid zone, and then throwing in tackle dart on occasions, the Eagles are more of a counter team and use inside zone as their changeup. Because of how athletic Philadelphia’s offensive line is, they specialize in GT Counter, where both the guard and tackle pull.
