Chiefs-Eagles Over 48.5
Did you see these two offenses a few weeks ago?
The Eagles ran buck-wild all over the Commanders in the NFC Championship game, scoring a season-high 55 points with Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts each running for three touchdowns.
Philly gets its explosive plays on the ground rather than through the air, allowing it to hang on to the ball while stringing together long drives.
The Eagles have yet to commit a turnover on offense during this playoff run, and Hurts has thrown just one interception since Week 3.
The Chiefs’ offense had perhaps its best game, as well, scoring a season-high 32 points in beating the Bills.
Patrick Mahomes spread the ball around, connecting with eight pᴀss catchers while using his legs to get first downs time and time again.
It’s not the Kansas City offense of four or five years ago, but it’s much better right now than it was four or five weeks ago.
Chiefs (-1.5) over Eagles
I’m not betting against the Chiefs now.
Once again, Mahomes and Co. used their black magic to reach the Super Bowl, winning a thriller over the Bills in the AFC Championship game.
The Chiefs have won an NFL-record 17 consecutive one-score games dating back to the 2023 regular season. They may just have a knack for this.
Betting on the NFL?
The Eagles looked good in the NFC тιтle game, but the Chiefs beat the better team.
The betting public is going against the Chiefs, with Philly moneyline being one of the most popular picks heading into the Super Bowl. But it may just be time to concede the Chiefs have some special juju.
If you can’t beat them, join them.
CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK: 0-2. Bills (L), Commanders (L).
SEASON: 9-17.
