Age of wonders iii out of sync5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() He led the league in passing yards, touchdowns, and passer rating. The freshly minted 2-time MVP lost a first-team all-pro wideout in Tyreek Hill and somehow got even better this season. On Sunday night they’ll get to prove it one final time, no matter how many 49ers whine and complain.īeating Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid is about as tough a challenge as there is in any sport. They’ve been the best team in the league all season long. The Eagles are favored in this game for a reason. I think they will and I think the Eagles get it done. ![]() With the Eagles’ offense humming, the defense will need to make the most of their chances. Look for Haason Reddick to do it in the building that was once his home. There will be another strip sack in this game, but it won’t be Brandon Graham this time. This game could come down to the Eagles’ front getting pressure on Mahomes and forcing a turnover. The Eagles are going to put up points in this game and they might need to.īecause chances are, the Eagles won’t be able to completely stop Mahomes either. Brown and DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert and Miles Sanders and Kenny Gainwell and there’s no way to stop all of them. We’ve seen Jalen Hurts take off as a runner, we’ve seen him air it out. We’ve seen them run the ball down opponents’ throats and throw it over their heads. What has made this offense so dangerous all season is because they aren’t good at one thing. The Chiefs aren’t going to be able to stop the Eagles’ offense. They’ve been the best team in the league all season and they get to show that to the football world on Sunday night. But the Eagles are better than the Chiefs. ![]() Sure, they’re probably not going to blow out the Chiefs like they did the Giants and 49ers on their way to the Super Bowl. A lot of points, back and forth, offenses dominating, and then in the final minutes, somebody in an Eagles uniform is going to do something historic, and then there’ll be a celebration and a parade and maybe another statue or two, and that’s why I keep picking them to win. I think this one will be kind of like the last one. Both teams are really good, both teams are well coached, both teams score a lot of points, both teams have tons of playmakers, both teams have won Super Bowls in the last few years, both teams have elite quarterbacks. If you had picked the Eagles to win every game you’d have a 16-3 record. They didn’t win ‘em all, but close enough. This team is really good.” And I haven’t picked them to lose since. The Eagles romped, winning 24-7, and I thought, “OK, I learned my lesson. I was a little concerned with the Eagles’ defense after the way the Lions scored 21 second-half points on opening day and nearly rallied back after trailing by 17, and the Vikings had easily handled the Packers, winning by 16 points in their opener. Week 2, I picked the Vikings to beat the Eagles. The Eagles and Chiefs will face off in Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday. ![]()
