A lot of people have lost money betting against the Patrick Mahomes-led Kansas City Chiefs. It’s a bet fraught with peril, because he wins at an 80 percent clip – better than Brady. But, he’s an underdog in the Super Bowl against a Philadelphia Eagles team that could deny him (for now) his rightful place in history as a players with chips – not chip – by no fault of his own.
You have two of the league’s top three offenses going against each other, but the Eagles were one 20-yard reception during the regular season from being the NFL’s top-ranked defense. In this game, the key is going to be Philly’s offensive line and its defensive line rotation – where vets like Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph are situational backups in it for a ring. The Eagles can hurt you in a lot of ways, and the Chiefs have too many rookies on defense being asked to make big plays against a largely veteran Eagles offense. This war will be won in the trenches.
