9-3 this postseason in opposition to the unfold, my best efficiency in years. However can I shut sturdy?
Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (-1.5) over Philadelphia Eagles
There may be an inevitability to those Chiefs and no, I don’t suppose it’s the results of some NFL/referee gerrymandering of the competitors. After I have a look at the pinnacle coaches and quarterbacks on Sunday, this isn’t a lot of a contest.
I don’t love these situations the place one of many Tremendous Bowl assistants is clearly getting ready to take a brand new job come Monday and Kellen Moore goes to be named the New Orleans coach like fifteen minutes after the Tremendous Bowl ends. Is he presently engaged on his employees? (He needs to be!) Kansas Metropolis’s teaching employees not often will get poached; that group could have a singular focus over these two weeks.
As talked about yesterday, I feel Spags will restrict Saquon Barkley, and I don’t see a path to victory for Philadelphia that doesn’t contain an enormous output from their greatest participant.
Philly must hit Mahomes. Not hurry him, hit him. If Mahomes isn’t on the bottom usually, the Eagles don’t win.
Vic Fangio will sit his safeties deep and stop the large play, however Mahomes has turn into an professional at dissecting defenses beneath and the Chiefs have constructed a set of ability guys professional at doing simply that.
Chiefs 24, Eagles 20
