Eagles vs. Chiefs: Final score prediction for Super Bowl LVII

The pick is in and we’re predicting the #SuperBowl matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs in Glendale, Arizona

The two teams have identical records (14-3) and scored the exact amount of points during the regular season setting up one of the most evenly matched Super Bowls in recent memory.

Philadelphia will look to unleash quarterback Jalen Hurts onto a Kansas City defense that allows big plays on the backend.

When assessing this matchup on Sunday, it’ll be important for the Eagles to take advantage of what they do best, and what the Chiefs struggle at.

The Super Bowl will be a rematch of a 2021 regular season meeting in which Patrick Mahomes threw five touchdown passes and the Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles 42-30.

Last season’s matchup was also a coming-out party for Jalen Hurts who threw for a career-high 387 yards and two touchdowns but Philadelphia (1-3) couldn’t keep up with Kansas City’s high-powered offense.

The Eagles now have the horses on defense to keep up with the Chiefs, and Hurts is far and away the most improved quarterback in the NFL since that game.

The Kansas City defense allowed a 54.4 QBR (third-worst in the NFL) against opposing quarterbacks in the regular season and they were even worse in the red zone.

Look for Philadelphia to test the Chiefs’ secondary early and often, with the fallback knowledge that Jonathan Gannon’s defense can slow Patrick Mahomes, and the NFL’s best offensive line can help navigate while dominating in the run game.

Jalen Hurts establishes himself as a top-five quarterback and the Eagles pull away late, winning Super Bowl LVII 24-21 in Glendale, Arizona.

Oklahoma Sooners tied with Florida for most players in the Super Bowl

Led by Jalen Hurts, the Oklahoma Sooners are tied with the most players heading to the Super Bowl.

The Oklahoma Sooners share the distinction of most players from their school heading to the Super Bowl. Both the Sooners and the Florida Gators are sending seven to compete for the NFL’s greatest prize.

The Sooners

  • [autotag]Jalen Hurts[/autotag], QB – Philadelphia Eagles
  • [autotag]Lane Johnson[/autotag], T – Philadelphia Eagles
  • [autotag]Tyrese Robinson[/autotag], G – Philadelphia Eagles
  • [autotag]Creed Humphre[/autotag]y, C – Kansas City Chiefs
  • [autotag]Orlando Brown[/autotag], Jr., T – Kansas City Chiefs
  • [autotag]Blake Bell[/autotag], TE – Kansas City Chiefs
  • [autotag]James Winchester[/autotag], LS – Kansas City Chiefs

The Sooners are well-represented on both sides with several players set to play a huge part in deciding the Super Bowl. That includes Pro Bowl selections Brown and Humphrey for Kansas City and, across the sideline, Hurts. (He could also be counted with Alabama, where he spent his first three college seasons, which would give the Crimson Tide four Super Bowl representatives.) Johnson is one of the most accomplished linemen in franchise history – not bad for the former Kilgore College backup quarterback. – Paul Myerburg, USA TODAY Sports

The Oklahoma Sooners are represented by players from both the Bob Stoops and Lincoln Riley eras. By way of playing the most important position on the field, Jalen Hurts is the most significant name on the list. If he plays well, the Eagles are going to have a great chance to win. The argument about “who can claim Hurts” is silly. He was fantastic for Alabama and helped them win a lot of games. It’s just convenient that both schools sport crimson.

It’s possible, though, that Hurts isn’t even the best player on his team. If offensive linemen or lines could win an MVP award, Lane Johnson would be in the running as well. His emergence into one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL is nothing short of extraordinary. Hurts and Johnson are evidence of what’s possible if you’re willing to work for it. Of course, they have the God-given talent to make their work ethic mean something.

On the Chiefs side of things, former Bill Bedenbaugh pupils Orlando Brown and Creed Humphrey will be tasked with keeping Patrick Mahomes upright. Humphrey is arguably the best center in the game, and Brown is no slouch at tackle either. That duo is a significant reason why the Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl.

Sooner faithful will have no shortage of rooting interests when the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs meet on Super Bowl Sunday.
