Eagles are favored by 1.5 points over Chiefs.

In the offseason the Chiefs let their star wide receiver Tyreek Hill leave in free agency. That seems to have hurt the team little. Tight end Travis Kelcie has been their pivot player receiver.

This is a bland prediction but, yes, it will come down to the play of Mahomes for KC. I think KC wins unless it's an in-a-funk game for the KC passing game.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes aims to become first player to win MVP, Super Bowl in same season this century

Eagles just brought in defense guy Vic Fangio for another expert opinion. Maybe the Eagles defense can be the difference the other way.

I really like who will be flying for the flyover -- women military pilots. USA military has several top women pilots.

Super Bowl flyover features all-women team of pilots

The four-fighter jet flyover will have an all-woman team of seven as the U.S. Navy commemorates 50 years of female pilots.

Just like they have this. The 82nd Airborne means business:




I remember videos of USA troops deploying to Poland this last year, and the video has both men and women -- as it should. In Ukraine, I believe 14% of the military is women.
 

I expect the Chiefs to win a high scoring game. Something like 34-28.

If the Eagles get behind early by more than 10, it could get ugly. I'm very skeptical of Hurts' ability to throw from the pocket when teams know the Eagles are going to throw. It could get bad.

That being said, I think the Eagles will be able to run the ball, control some clock, and keep it close. And the Eagles defense will make things difficult for what is likely a less-than-100% Mahomes. The Eagles pass rush could make life difficult for Mahomes.

I don't like either team, if not for the SB commercials and it being the last football game for a while, I doubt I would watch it much. I see a nice afternoon bike ride in my future
 


Stapleton just killed.

I am super confident the Eagles are going to win the Coin Toss.
 



Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has impressed with 116 yards and 1 long TD. Also 18 rushing yards and a TD.
 



I assume the Eagles are going to win. KC blew 2 key scoring plays. In an even match like this it can be the difference.
 

Now Eagles QB Jalen Hurts dropped the ball leading to a KC fumble recovery and touchdown. Huge break for KC.
 


How was the halftime show? Was it kinda bad or really bad?

Twitter is giving Rihanna good marks. Some talk about her featuring her belly as either postpartum woman body or pregnant, kind of a statement by her.
 

Air trailer looks good - I’ll go see that in a movie theater

Both QB's have been stellar.

Now the KC offense machine is rolling. KC up by 8.
 

Philly QB Jalen Hurts throws a bomb with busted coverage by KC, and then he powers in for 2 point conversion. Excellent QB football in this game.
 


Gee guys do u think he got a shot at halftime?

I may well have to get a complete shoulder replacement this fall and when I got my cortisone shot, I have full mobility and no pain for 2 glorious weeks

And another ticky tac call goes the way of the Chiefs. All playoffs long!

Apparently I’m in the minority in that it was obvious to me. The first replay they showed starts too late and doesn’t show the full hold. WR probably gets open if the defender doesn’t hold him.

Grabbed him slightly. The ball was 15 yards over his head. Weak as shit!

You’re looking at the wrong part then. He was held early on well before the ball was thrown.

The Chiefs-Eagles instant classic Super Bowl ended on the worst holding call

Super Bowl 57 was easily one of the best Super Bowls we've seen in quite some time. The Eagles and Chiefs both played excellent, nearly flawless games so, of course, the game went down to the wire. The score was tied 35-35 with the Chiefs in the red zone.…

Like I said, Fox did a terrible job with their replays. The ref that threw the flag would have been in position to see this.

Just happy that this game is finally over and the ultimate drama that is the NFL offseason can begin in full swing!

Cardinals and Colts still need new HC's; I'm leaning towards old Northwestern QB Mike Kafka, Giants OC with Daboll, to land the Cardinals HC job. The pickings are getting slim!

Colts are hiring Shane Steichen - just can't make it official until after the Super Bowl.
