Super Bowl 2023 pick Chiefs outlast Eagl

  • PHOENIX -- After many long daysof thinking about it, I'd like everyone to know that I am finally ready to make my Super Bowl pick. It hasn't been easy trying to decide who's going to win. For one, we have one of the biggest revenge games in history, which means I had to watch , and the just to get an idea of what Andy Reid will be feeling when he faces the on Sunday. But let's not forget, this is a double-revenge game, because Nick Sirianni used to be an a sistant coach with the until Reid let him go after being hired by Kansas City in 2013. I might have to watch four more revenge movies to fully understand the revenge factor here. More on Super Bowl I also had to watch , and to get an idea of how Jason and will feel in this game when they become the first set of brothers to play against each other in a Super Bowl. If you're wondering how I found time to watch all of that stuff, I did it on my flight to Phoenix. That's right, I'm in Arizona and I'll be here all week. As a matter of fact, if this pick sounds like an incoherent Anttoni Honka Women Jersey me s, that's because I'm writing it at 1 a.m. directly after having attended the annual circus known as Super Bowl Media Night. The good news is that I saw ' ankle (it looks good), Andy Reid's mustache (it looks dapper) and the Eagles' mascot (he looks freshly molted), who I'm pretty sure was hitting on the daughter of the Chiefs' owner. Swoop may or may not be trying to score a date with the daughter of the Chiefs owner ( ) John Breech (@johnbreech) Anyway, what all of this means is that I feel like I am now 100% prepared to make this pick. So who am I taking in this game? Let's get to the pick and find out. Actually, before we get to the pick, here's a quick reminder to check out the Super Bowl picks from all of our other CBS Sports writers, which . If that's not enough Super Bowl content for you, then I . Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and I are spending the week together in Arizona and we'll be putting out new podcasts every day, which means you get more of me, which I have to think is a good thing. Also, since I'll be in Arizona this week, feel free to start following me or or , you won't regret it. However, I might eventually regret my Super Bowl pick. Let's hope that doesn't happen. Time:6:30 p.m. ET Location: State Farm Stadium (Glendale, Arizona) Featured Game | Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs Moneyline Spread Total PHI KC It took 57 years, but I think we might finally be getting the most evenly matched Super Bowl of all-time. Everything about these two teams is so even that I'm actually kind of frightened. Cam Ward Jersey The Chiefs this year: - 16-3 overall record- 546 points scored- 6 All Pros, including a Kelce brother and their QB- AFC's Number 1 seedThe Eagles this year: - 16-3 overall record- 546 points scored- 6 All Pros, including a Kelce brother and their QB- NFC's Number 1 seed Field Yates (@FieldYates) Janne Kuokkanen Men Jersey Not only are all of those things evenly matched, this game is also giving us the highest-scoring team in the AFC against the highest-scoring team in the NFC. As if that's not enough, we'll also be getting the team that led the AFC in sacks against the team that led the NFC in sacks. These teams are so evenly matched that we can now retire the Spider-man meme because it will never apply to anything as much as it applies to this game. If the NFL is smart, it will let Spider-man handle the opening coin to s on Sunday. The biggest matchup in this game is going to be Patrick Mahomes against the Eagles pa s-rush. Through 19 games, the Eagles have totaled 78 sacks on the season, which is the third-most in NFL history behind only the 1984 (82 sacks) and the 1985 Bears (80 sacks). The Eagles had four players this year who all recorded at least 10 sacks -- , , and -- and if those guys spend four quarters beating up on Mahomes and his gimpy ankle, then this is going to turn into an Eagles blowout. The best case scenario for the Eagles would be for this game to turn into Super Bowl LV. If you don't remember that game, that's the one where Mahomes tried to play through an injured toe, only to get destroyed by a defense that sacked him three times in a 31-9 Tampa Bay win. If Ryan Dzingel Kids Jersey Mahomes aggravates his ankle injury on Sunday, I won't be surprised if the Chiefs are once again on the losing end of a Super Bowl blowout. On the other hand, if Mahomes can get the Chiefs offense going, then you have to like the Chiefs' chances. For Kansas City, the magic number might just be 310: If the Chiefs can get to just 310 yards on the Eagles' defense, that means they'll have been moving the ball. The Eagles only allowed 310 yards of offense or more in seven games this year and they went 4-3 in those games. On the other hand, they went 12-0 when surrendering le s than 310 yards. The Eagles defense has been great, but it hasn't faced anyone this year who's anywhere near the caliber of Mahomes, which might be one reason why is so sure the Chiefs are going to win. The receiver is absolutely convinced that . "They talk about Philadelphia being a good defense, I'm not too sure," Aiyuk said on Feb. 4. "I think the pa s game, this Kansas City pa s game, will expose what we thought we were going to be able to expose before some unfortunate circumstances happened." Does that sound like someone who's bitter about losing to the Eagles? Yes. Can I trust his opinion? I'm still not sure. Trying to pick the winner in this game is like trying to pick between left Twix and right Twix. These teams are so evenly matched that I'm almost inclined to pick a tie, but I'm not going to do that, because then I'd be the laughingstock of the internet and we all know how much I hate being the laughingstock of the internet. The early version of the NFL script says that the Eagles are going to win 37-34... The Super Bowl script was leaked MLFootball (@_MLFootball) ... However, as everyone knows, the NFL never sticks with the early version of the script. Nope, they do a total rewrite five days before the game and I think Chiefs fans are going to like the new script. SUPER BOWL LVII PICK:Chiefs 27-24 over Eagles. Record picking Chiefs games this season:17-2 Record picking Eagles games this season:12-7 Best pick: Two weeks ago, I the 49ers in the NFC Championship game and then the Eagles went out and beat the 49ers in the NFC Championship. What I didn't predict, though, is that the 49ers would go through 17 quarterbacks in the game. I also didn't predict that the 49ers QB situation would turn so dire that they'd have to let start throwing pa ses. I also didn't predict that they'd be stuck playing a quarterback in the second half who couldn't even throw a forward pa s. However, I probably should have seen this all coming and that's because there is no one in the NFL who's more Noah Hanifin Women Jersey cursed in
