QB Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
Chiefs vs. Eagles Odds & Predictions, Free Picks, Prop Bets Today & Injury Updates
Patrick Mahomes's regular-season numbers might not always be elite, but that's famously different in the postseason, where his clutch gene is in full effect. In a winner-take-all game, Mahomes has to be at the top of the league regarding quarterbacks you'd want on your side. Luckily for the Kansas City Chiefs, they have him.
Spread: Chiefs -1.5 | Moneyline: Chiefs -124 | Eagles +106 | Total: 48.5
QB Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles
Jalen Hurts does plenty of good things as the signal-caller for the Philadelphia Eagles. His mobility makes him one of the top dual-threat options in the NFL. There are some questions about his decision-making, but there's a reason Hurts is playing in the Super Bowl for the second time in three years.
QB Edge: Chiefs
It's nearly impossible not to give Mahomes and the Chiefs a real edge at the quarterback position in the Super Bowl.
RB Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles
How the Eagles Will Beat the Chiefs: 10 Keys to a Super Bowl Victory
Saquon Barkley gives the Eagles a unique weapon in their run game. Barkley has proven to be the most dynamic rusher in the league, and that's continued to hold in the postseason. It's hard to envision any team in the league matching up with what the Eagles have at the position.
RB Kareem Hunt, Isiah Pacheco Kansas City Chiefs
Kareem Hunt has taken most of the load lately, but don't count out Isiah Pacheco. The Chiefs don't have the elite presence the Eagles do, but they've proven at times this year that they can at least run the football with some competence.
RB Edge: Eagles
If there's one decidedly clear edge in this matchup, it's the one the Eagles boast at the running back position.
Kansas City Chiefs WR Group
How the Chiefs Will Three-Peat: 10 Keys to a Super Bowl Victory
There are some nice options in the red zone for the Chiefs to utilize, but there hasn't been a ton of consistency with this unit overall. Xavier Worthy can potentially be the most dynamic weapon in this matchup. Will the rest of them show up?
Philadelphia Eagles WR Group
The Eagles wide receiver room is right there with the best in the NFL. Led by A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, the Eagles boast a pair of No. 1 wide receivers. It's a pick-your-poison position for the Chiefs' defense regarding how they want to allocate their coverage in this matchup.
WR Edge: Eagles
With the consistency and elite status that the Eagles wideouts bring to the table, it's hard not to give them a clear edge here.

Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Line
Are the Kansas City Chiefs the Greatest NFL Dynasty?
The Kansas City Chiefs have had some real issues with their offensive line this season. It's been more of a bend, don't break mentality for this unit, which is a dicey game to play against a strong Eagles defensive line.
Philadelphia Eagles Offensive Line
The Philadelphia Eagles' offensive line is a major strength for this group. Although injuries have popped up lately, the Eagles' depth at the position has been noticeable. The Eagles' offensive line has allowed them to pound the rock, which will be essential in this matchup.
OL Edge: Eagles
Even with some injury concerns, the Eagles have an advantage over the Chiefs in the offensive line category.
TE Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs
Tackle the Odds with SportsGrid’s Expert NFL Game Picks and NFL Player Prop Picks.
Travis Kelce remains one of the NFL's most impactful tight ends. Although his production isn't what it once was, Kelce provides the perfect safety blanket for the Chiefs offense.
TE Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles
Dallas Goedert is likely underrated for what he brings to the Eagles offense. The Chiefs have struggled against opposing tight ends, and Goedert has the skill set to work wonders over the middle of the field.
TE Edge: Chiefs
Even at this stage in his career, it's hard not to give Kelce and the Chiefs tight end group the edge in this matchup.
OC Matt Nagy, Kansas City Chiefs
Matt Nagy has done a nice job with the Chiefs, even if Andy Reid gets most of the credit for the offensive creativity. That will need to be front and center if the Chiefs hope to carry over their strong offensive play from the AFC Championship Game.
OC Kellen Moore, Philadelphia Eagles
Kellen Moore has done a great job elevating the Philadelphia Eagles' offense this season. There's a reason that Moore is the front-runner for the New Orleans Saints head coaching gig. Moore's ability to make an offense dynamic is noteworthy in this matchup.
OC Edge: Eagles
Kellen Moore does the little things so efficiently to help bring out the best of this Eagles offense. Moore gives the Eagles an edge in the OC category.
