GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles both finished with the best records in the AFC and NFC respectively. The Chiefs have the best player in the league. The Eagles have arguably the most complete team.
By all accounts, it should be a competitive game — the kind of Super Bowl you hope to see. The Fox Sports NFL crew must have seen something different because all of them are picking the Eagles.
Ahead of the broadcast of Sunday’s Super Bowl 57 in Arizona, Fox went around its crew of analysts to offer the picks for the game. And all of — literally, every single one — picked against the Chiefs.

Now, the pregame crew obviously has no impact on the game. But so many times, we see the clean sweep of picks come back to bite networks. Eagles fans were well aware of that, and they were already crushing Fox for the potential jinx.
