Does Patrick Mahomes win his fourth Super Bowl?

Is tonight Saquon Barkley’s magnum opus?

Hope you all have a fun time tonight.

Thanks, all.

Everything tells us to pick the Philadelphia Eagles. They brought the superior roster to New Orleans but — if we’ve learned anything in the Super Bowl — it’s that superior quarterback almost always prevails. Patrick Mahomes waited all of 2.8 seconds after winning last year’s Super Bowl to start thinking about a three-peat. Now that he’s this close, a competitor at his Tiger Peak goes in for the kill. It won’t be easy. Figuring out a way to maneuver through this loaded Eagles defense will prove to be his finest Super Bowl work yet. Chiefs 27, Eagles 26.

Saquon Barkley has averaged 159 yards from scrimmage in three playoff games, and the Eagles have taken the ball away 10 times against nary a giveaway. Those are compelling indicators for why Philly wins the 59th Super Bowl. But the best guess is what is most apt to happen in a Patrick Mahomes-quarterbacked game: he leads his team down the field at the end and the eminently reliable Harrison Butker kicks the winning field goal. Chiefs 30, Eagles 28.

It takes dawg toughness to take down a dynasty. The Eagles need to take on the Bad Boys Isiah Thomas Pistons mentality. Got to beat him down to take him out. This Eagles team has the recipe. Obviously no turnovers will be key but this Philly team has the talent requred to prevent Mahomes from adding a three-peat to the resume. Eagles 27, Chiefs 24.
