ROGERS PLAYOFF GAME OF THE YEAR! (77% KC RUN)
(NFL) Chiefs (KC) vs. Eagles (PHI),
Point Spread: 1.50 | -110.00 Eagles (PHI) (Home)
Result: Win
At 6:30pm ET, my NFL Playoff Game Of The Year is on the Philadelphia Eagles. The Chiefs have an impressive knack of winning close games. They're on the verge of making history as the first team to win 3 straight Super Bowls. A lot of people bet the Super Bowl that don't usually bet on the NFL and many of those casual bettors aren't very anxious to go against Mahomes and history. But if you look at this game and these teams objectively, it's my contention that the Eagles are the better team and the right pick on Sunday. During the regular season, the Eagles scored 463 points. The Chiefs scored 385. The Eagles allowed 303. The Chiefs allowed 326. That's +160 for the Eagles compared to only +59 for the Chiefs. The Chiefs are +12 in their 2 playoff games and the Eagles are +50 in theirs. The Eagles won the last time that they played the Chiefs. The previous game was the Super Bowl. The Chiefs won 38-35 but it was the Eagles who held a 417-340 edge in yards in that game. One key difference from that game to this one is that the Eagles now have Saquon Barkley. The Eagles' superstar back didn't get the chance to break the regular season rushing title but he could have. He's been unstoppable in the playoffs. In his three playoff games, Barkley has 442 yards and five touchdowns on 66 carries, averaging an awesome 6.7 yards per carry. If the Chiefs try to stack the box to stop Barkley, Hurts has the ability to make them pay. The Eagles defense is dominant. Three-peat? Not this year! Play on Philadelphia
