Chiefs are early 1.5-point underdogs vs. Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, Nick reacts
Nick Wright believes his Chiefs will win Super Bowl LVII despite being early 1.5-point underdogs vs. the Eagles.
Who will have more rushing yards — Miles Sanders or Isiah Pacheco — and how many total yards will they have?
The battle of the backs and their rushing yards total. Who will come out on top?
Well, if you follow the MVP odds and base your prediction on those, Philly’s Miles Sanders should dominate here. Sanders’ current MVP odds at FOX Bet are +2000; K.C.’s Isiah Pacheco’s sit at +5000. The shorter those odds, the more likely that player will rack up more rushing yards, right? That’s certainly one way to look at it.
But we can and should also look at how these guys have fared so far in playoffs. Sanders has 28 rushing attempts, 132 yards and two TDs this postseason. Pacheco has 22 attempts, 121 yards on the ground and no TDs.
That’s a small sample size to pull from, yes. So here’s a bigger picture to consider: In Miles’ epic year, he racked up 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns to Pacheco’s 830 and five.
Philly has the better rushing game, so we’ll take Sanders.
Prediction:
Miles Sanders, 100-109
Which player will have more receiving yards — A.J. Brown or Travis Kelce — and how many total yards will they have?
Is the Chief’s Travis Kelce one of the greatest tight ends of all time? Will the blockbuster A.J. Brown trade pay off huge dividends for the Eagles less than one calendar year after it went down?
Perhaps the answer to both of these is yes, which means it might be a little more challenging to predict which player will have more receiving yards in the Big Game.
Think about this: Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and Kelce have combined for 13 TDs in the postseason, which is the second-most ever. Knowing how frequently Kelce has caught Patrick’s passes in playoffs might make you lean toward Travis here.
But Philly’s A.J. Brown has done some damage in the receiving game, too. This season, Brown has notched 1,496 yards through the air. However, Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has another wide-out weapon in DeVonta Smith. This likely means that A.J. will be splitting his receiving yards with his teammate.
Tough call, but go with Mahomes’ security blanket.
Prediction:
Travis Kelce, 0-99
Which team will have more second-half points and how many combined points will they have in the second half?
We’re going Kansas City here. The Chiefs are a better scoring team in the second half of games, and that could be because they’ve let opponents hang around so long in matchups that they’ve had to rally to win.
The Eagles average 10.6 points per game in the second half; the Chiefs average 12.7.
K.C. will put in work in the second half of the Super Bowl.
Prediction:
Chiefs, 13-16
Patrick Mahomes and Jason Kelce headline Colin’s top 12 players in Super Bowl LVII
Colin Cowherd nominates Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes & TE Travis Kelce in the top two spots of his top players in Super Bowl LVII.
Which team will have the most total yards and how many will they have?
The fact that these two teams are the last ones standing should be your biggest clue that they both put up massive numbers when they step on the field.
The Chiefs absolutely rule the passing game. There, the unit averages 308.8 yards. In the running game, they average 115.9.
The Eagles, on the other hand, are near the top of the running game, averaging 147.6 yards per contest. When it comes to passing yards, Philly averages 256.7.
So who gets the edge in total yards since they both run elite offenses?
This one’s almost a pick ’em, but we’ll give the very slight edge here to Philadelphia.
Prediction:
Eagles, 410-429
Which team will have the most rushing yards and how many will they have combined?
The Eagles will top this spot easily. From Miles Sanders to Boston Scott, Philly will be dialed in when it comes to pounding the rock. And don’t forget Hurts has wheels, too. The QB has rushed for more than 2,000 yards in his first three years in the NFL.
There’s a reason they’re the fifth-best rushing team in the league. Go with the Birds on the ground.
Prediction:
Eagles, 175-194
Which team will win and by how many points?
The line for this huge game has jumped around more than toddlers in a bouncy house. And that’s in large part because these two incredibly talented teams are evenly matched on several levels.
Andy Reid has cemented himself as an elite leader, but the younger Nick Sirianni is proving his worth, too, as a head coach. Both coaches also have some favorable betting trends coming into this game. Both teams are 14-3 and entered the postseason as the No. 1 seed in their divisions. Both QBs are at the top of the MVP oddsboard; Mahomes is currently at +115, while Hurts is at +120. But another important note to make is both QBs are dealing with injuries that could impact their play.
Right now at FOX Bet, Philly is a 1.5-point favorite, and that’s a spot we like. Yes, the Chiefs have the advantage of experience. This is their third Super Bowl in four seasons. However, the Chiefs’ major flaw of letting teams hang around resulted in them going 8-11 against the spread (ATS) this season. The Eagles are a fire you can’t play with like that.
We’ll take the Eagles defense to stifle Mahomes & Co. in a close one as Jalen Hurts wins his first Super Bowl.
Prediction:
Eagles, 4-5 points
