Super Bowl LVII Prediction

 

Wild Card Record (5-1)

Divisional Round Record (2-2)

Conference Championship Record (1-1)

 

Super Bowl LVII

Kansas City Chiefs Vs Philadelphia Eagles

It doesn’t always happen, but this years’ Super Bowl is a matchup of the top two teams in the AFC and NFC, and that is inarguable! The Eagles have been the top team from start to finish. The only time they really struggled this season was when Jalen Hurts didn’t play towards the end of the season, but other than that no one has played better football than the Eagles! From top to bottom the Eagles have the most talented roster in the league and that’s obvious because here they are in the Super Bowl! The Chiefs have been all about Patrick Mahomes this season. The dude has carried this team on his shoulders and really doesn’t have any top weapons to do it with it, other than Travis Kelce. They don’t have a number one receiver, just a bunch of role players, the running backs are okay at best, and the defense makes the big plays when necessary, but overall Mahomes has done it all and looks unstoppable.

The difference in this matchup, I believe, will be on the Eagles defense. With Mahomes having the MVP type of season he has had the Eagles will have their hands full. Luckily for them, they have been one of the best defenses in the league. Haasan Reddick has had quarterbacks running for their lives this season and they have been able to force critical turnovers that turn into points. Mahomes probably won’t make many mistakes, but with the pressure all on him, I think the Eagles defense will take advantage of the few playmakers that Mahomes has and force him into a costly turnover or stalled drives to help setup the offense with good field position. I feel like this is going to be one of the rare Super Bowls we have that is dominated by defense and I believe the Eagles defense will have the edge in this matchup and will walk away Super Bowl champs because of it!

Eagles over Chiefs 24-21

MVP: Haasan Reddick
