Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles
One of the most shocking Super Bowls ever. This game was never close.
It’s so interesting how impactful one game can be on people’s legacies. If the Chiefs win they would threepeat and cement themselves as maybe the greatest dynasty ever. People would probably be calling Mahomes the GOAT, he would be 4-1 in Super Bowls, and he would only be 3 away from catching Brady. People would likely be calling Andy Reid the greatest coach ever too.
Instead, Mahomes falls to 3-2 in Super Bowls and both of his losses were absolute blow outs. In 5 Super Bowls, he has thrown 7 INTs. In 10 Super Bowls, Brady threw just 6 INTs. Andy Reid now falls to 3-3 in Super Bowls compared to Belichick being 6-3.
And here’s the thing, we don’t know if they’ll ever win it again. They probably will, but you never know. Brady and Belichick went 10 years without winning the Big One. It happens.
On the flip side, instead of Hurts falling to 0-2, in the Super Bowl, he now gets the win and was Super Bowl MVP. He has the most rushing TDs by a QB in playoff history. And he’s only 26 and on a stacked team that will continue to compete. 22 other QBs have won Super Bowl MVP and 16/22 are either in or going to the HOF. That puts Hurts in rare company. Hurts now is the only other QB in his “generation” other than Mahomes to win the Super Bowl and/or Super Bowl MVP.

Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles
The Super Bowl is awesome, but also bittersweet since it’s the last game until September.
In this all-time tough-to-find-a-team-to-root-for matchup, I think the Chiefs clinch the threepeat, cover (-1.5), and the over (48.5) hits.
Washington Commanders @ Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles absolutely beat down the Commanders to advance to their 2nd Super Bowl in 3 years.
Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs
You cannot be serious!
I have a lot of issues with the calls the Chiefs have been getting because I have never seen a team get so much help from the officials.
However, winners win and the Chiefs always find a way to win. I respect it and now sadly have to root for the Eagles.

Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs
I think the Bills win, cover (+2.5), and the over (48.5) hits.
Los Angeles Rams @ Philadelphia Eagles
The Rams could not handle the bad winter weather. Once the snow started coming and sticking, they couldn’t hold onto the ball or protect Stafford. They started to get it together at the end, but it was too little too late.
The Eagles also struggled with weather and lucked out by recovering two of their own fumbles. But they still handled it better than the Rams.
I cannot remember the last time I saw a running back carry their team as far in the postseason as Saquon has. He is having the best season I’ve ever seen by a running back.
Baltimore Ravens @ Buffalo Bills
A fantastic game that lived up to the billing. Lamar played pretty well, especially late in the game. You have to feel for Mark Andrews. He’s been a great player for them for a long time and now is taking a lot of heat for the loss.
Allen was solid and did enough to win. Next week will be a great matchup.

*Note: on the Pod from Tuesday, I said the Rams would win, but I’m changing it after seeing what the weather is supposed to be in Philly.
Baltimore Ravens @ Buffalo Bills
I think Buffalo wins, covers (+1.5), and the under (51.5) hits.
