Super Bowl 2/9/25
Eagles +1 1/2 +100 (5 units) - Common denominator both teams with a solid core "D", Eagles a tad younger but faster and bigger upfront, OL edge to Eagles, ground game to Eagles, receiving I'm giving this to Eagles, kicking game about even, Elliott a wild card but this game is indoors. Jalen disrespected since week 11 of 2023 till now. Mahomes won't get his baby crying red flags here and he'll have to scramble the way Jalen Carter and Davis have been stacking the front the past 3 weekends. Commanders had the whole field at home to choose from in their rematch vs Eagles in which Hurts & Pickett both got stung up 36-33 after leading and dominating the Commanders most of the first half. The Eagles showed it with ample turnover opportunities they turned into TDs not FGs. Chiefs most likely could have gone into OT vs Bills if the TE catches that 4th down pass from Allen, that was a pick'em game and Eagles got lots of game film from that tilt, along with tilt vs Texans, their rematch in '23 where Eagles beat KC on Nat'l TV early in the season and the Eagles have revenge still on their mind for their 38-35 loss when they were up in the 1H vs the Chefs!! Sirianni has a plan, Kellen Moore & Fangio ditto, I think the Eagles will use one of their LBs or DBs to spy on Mahomes and they shut down Kelce, leaving Worthy & Schuster-Smith in coverage vs Mitchell/Slay/Dejean - Rodgers the key guy who'll get picked on but he thrives in that situation. Burks OLB for Eggles will be used with Nolan Smith to get to Mahomes often!! Running game with Hurts & Barkley will have an added spark in special teams player and occasional RB Shipley who may have to fill in for Gainwell who got banged up last game. Dickerson & Juergens both should be 100% by game time. Mahomes doesn't make many turnovers but when he's pressured often times he tangles himself up close to blockers and all it's going to take is a few large hand swipes to get him to fumbler-ooooski oooooski to give Eggles chances!! I have Eagles winning this one by 7, 34-27!! I have a feeling this line will stay course until game time which could turn to a pick'em or -1 for KC. Lots of time left, just going with the gut and stats.
Over 49 1/2 (5 units)
1Q over 9 1/2 -110 (5 units)
Saquon Barkley MVP +275 (1 unit) - just feel Saquon is the Kwan the Eagles needed and his leadership and team play, he'll exploit in any opening vs KC "D". He could have a 200 yard+ game receiving & rushing yards!!
Eagles TT over 24 1/2 -110 (5 units)
Will have player props once the lines are out for them. Only seeing the SB props they normally post, nothing for receiving, rushing, TDs etc just yet
