Just one week remains until a new champion is crowned in the NFL. Super Bowl LVII will see each conference’s top seed square off against one another for the first time since 2017, and the 13th overall since seeding began in 1975.
That most recent occasion saw the Eagles win their only Super Bowl to date. A far different coaching staff and roster has led the team back to the title game, culminating a regular season which saw them establish themselves as arguably the most balanced team in the league on both sides of the ball. Numerous moves made in the offseason – including the acquisition of wideout A.J. Brown – helped the Eagles take a considerable step forward on offense, with third-year quarterback Jalen Hurts putting himself in the MVP conversation.
With the former second-rounder back at full strength, Philadelphia has had little issue in the postseason to date, securing comfortable victories over the Giants and 49ers. The latter was hamstrung by not having a healthy quarterback for much of the conference championship game, but that contest still highlighted the Eagles’ depth and their penchant for blowout wins. They enter the Super Bowl as slight favorites.
The Chiefs, however, have plenty of recent experience on the big stage. Kansas City has hosted each of the past five AFC championship games, including their win this past Sunday against the Bengals. That contest was won by the narrowest of margins, a stark contrast to the Eagles’ path through the NFC. Nevertheless, the Chiefs are now set to compete in their third Super Bowl in the past four years, as the legacy of their current era with head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to grow.
Kansas City comfortably won what was expected to be a hyper-competitive AFC West during the regular season, continuing their dominance of that division. The Chiefs were able to secure the No. 1 seed in large part due to their elite offensive production, something which many raised questions about following the departure of Tyreek Hill. Despite not having the All-Pro receiver available, Kansas City led the league in passing yards in 2022, making Mahomes the favorite to win a second MVP award. The team’s offense has plenty of potential even with the latter dealing with an ankle sprain.
A number of storylines have been discussed in the build-up to the big game, including Reid facing his former team and a pair of brothers (Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Eagles center Jason Kelce) squaring off against one another. These two teams had the highest-scoring offenses in the league this season – and have even put up identical point totals to date, mirroring their shared 16-3 records – so their matchup has plenty of potential with respect to points being scored.
As the countdown to Super Bowl LVII continues, who do you see winning it all? Vote in the poll below and have your say in the comments section:
Deez Nuts ought to win
Hurts Donuts
Both Jax & Cincy had a hobbled Mahomes and lost. Dude is a stud QB. Should be a fun SB and great game. I expect a close game that can go either way.
OK arty, we’ll give you the Fence Sitter Award. I’m hoping Chiefs but betting Eagles.
You sound like me. Hoping for the Chiefs, but betting on the Iggles. Not choosing a winner either?
Eagles 33 Chiefs 19
Really? I predict a closer game. I figure 3-5 point difference. I think Mahomes gets his 2nd ring. Cementing him, Reid, & Kelce in Canton.
If the Chiefs try to rely solely on Mahomes I think the result will be similar to what occurred 2 years ago against the Bucs.
Andy Stinkin’ Reid Bowl
KeLcE bOwL
I hate both teams. The Eagles will take it.
Who cares?
Watch the festivities, the over the top player intro’s, the celebration’s for making a play, that blatant missed call by the ref, the announcers calling every play like it’s historic, and the nail biting finish.
—- FYI that was a WrestleMania that I was describing.
Some people only watch the SB to grade the adverts…lol.
I think the team that scores the most points will probably win the SB.
That’s crazy
The EAGLES
Prob be a high scoring game i think the eagles will win in a close one
Eagles 31 Chiefs 28
Eagles 8 Chiefs 6
Enjoy watching the fixed and scripted entertainment.
I will thank you
And you enjoy your foil hat
these conspiracy nuts get off on their nonsense because they think they’ve outsmarted all of us but they know deep down, they’re dumber than a bag of sand. a smooth bag of sand.
GO EAGLES
Bears are sad like you
Found Arian’s PFBR account!
Sounds like someone has made Fan Duel really rich.
I’m betting somebody nard Kelce will win.
Kansas City 38
Philadelphia 27
How many turnovers does KC need to score 38 on Philly? Like 4?
Eagles!
Their team is much healthier.
And they have a better defense.
Missing the additional poll options:
My Team is not in it = I don’t care.
It’ s Fixed = The “Winner” is already determined.
Who cares?
In the grand scheme of our existence, pro sports like so many other things we get wound up about, are only diversions so we don’t give serious thought to what our “elected officials” are doing to our country and our lives. Think about it!
Yet here you are, reading and responding.
I only responded to indicate additional options that were missing from the Super Bowl Poll.
I didn’t state that any of those options applied to me personally.
Here is another (Thanks MyCommentisBetter)
Any Team But The “____________________”
(Insert the Name of the Team You Hate)
so who’s your pick?
Age, Maturity and the obscene earnings of the players in pro sports have almost completely eliminated my interest in pro sports.
The Answer to Your Question is:
I don’t care !!

Exactly, you should be worried about the birds.
All of those birds are just government surveillance devices spying on you 24/7/365.
And watch out for the ants. Ants have been loaded with mRNA vaccines and they will bite you and then you are a goner.
Stay strong!!!
The Super Bowl is just a way they trick into letting your guard down so the birds and the ants can get to you.
AFC
Pretty evenly matched squads… Philly’s got the better D, KC the better O. I have a general rule when 2 fairly even teams meet: go with the better QB. Sorry Eagles, but I think Mahomes wins another.
One of the best SB matchups in a while.
I like the Eagles on paper, but yeah…hard to go against Mahomes, especially when he has been beating teams on one leg and figures to have at least one and a half legs in this game.
Eagles win.
Not the Cowboys.
somewhere, someone at espn is being forced to put together cowboys bits
It’s up to the Eagles pass rush, if they can’t pressure Mahomes KC wins.
I put a lot of faith in the “been there before” syndrome. I think the Eagles have a better team at this point in time, but I can’t bring myself to bet against Mahomes in favor of an admittedly talented QB who hasn’t been there before. Chiefs by a late FG.
If you have faith in the “been there before” syndrome you’re probably not living in Buffalo.
