Eagles have a very good chance of winning this game as I believe they have the overall better team. KC has the edge in QB and TE but Philly's run game should be able to keep the on the sidelines minimizing extra drives.

The Eagles had the better team on paper last time they played the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, and they lost. It was primarily due to coaching in my view, especially on defense.

I believe the Eagles have better coaching now, especially on defense, and while their passing game was definitely more explosive last time, their running game is more explosive this time.

The Hurts fumble killed their chances

Yeah, it shows how the Pack and Rams have more of a complete team, the Rams more so.

The Skins were a two or three man show. JD, Ertz, McLaurin and not much else, they got trucked on defense.
Conditions like snow usually lend themselves to the underdog getting an advantage. I think the elements made the Rams game look closer than it really was.

Last season, a lesser Eagles team than this year’s team beat a Super Bowl champion Chiefs in KC. If Spags finds a formula for neutralizing the Eagles run game I think the Chiefs win. That’s easier said than done.

Im not fully sure I agree with that just based on how things played out. Rams basically ran into a worst case scenario but generally if you don't get a top seed in the regular season then you'll have to escape a really tough game or two.

It’s very hard to block in the snow. The Eagles looked much more dominant in Sofi in the regular season and it was in the trench play. The Eagles gave up like 7-8 sacks. That just doesn’t happen on a clean field.

Concur, but Stafford is a scrappy sumbitch. Game was in doubt until it wasn't.

I don't see how that other Eagles team was more talented than this one. Barkley and Carter are both the dominant players at their positions.

I hate both teams as well but whenever the Eagles are playing I'm watching. But it sucks to have 2 teams I hate. But for a football fan to purposely miss the Super Bowl over it is crazy to me.

I agree the Chiefs had a much tougher path and I will always believe the team with the best QB usually wins. But man this Eagles team is so talented, and winnning 3 in a row has never been done for a reason. I'd bet the Eagles and take the point and a half every time.
