As soon as once more, the Eagles and Chiefs will meet up on a Sunday.
That is the earliest we have seen a Tremendous Bowl rematch from the earlier season since 2016. That was when the Panthers and Broncos squared off within the season opener.
The Chiefs will look to avenge their February loss, a sport through which they trailed 24-0 at halftime and 34-0 late within the third quarter. They can even look to keep away from an 0-2 begin, after falling 27-21 to the Chargers in Brazil in Week 1. The Eagles are 1.5-point favorites, with the full at 46.5.
My greatest wager right here is Over 46.5.
These groups have met twice within the Tremendous Bowl within the final three years. In 2022, the Chiefs gained 38-35 and the Eagles gained 44-20 final 12 months. Each of these matchups had loads of factors to clear 46.5.
Granted, there was some defensive scoring inflating these last scores, however neither of those defenses appeared to be in prime type final week of their openers.

The Chiefs allowed 6.4 yards per play final week in that loss to the Chargers and obtained picked aside within the secondary by Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. He threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns, with simply 9 incomplete passes and no interceptions in 34 makes an attempt.
The Eagles’ defensive numbers from Week 1 are a bit higher than the Chiefs’, however take into accout Cowboys extensive receiver CeeDee Lamb had quite a few pricey drops that wiped away what would have been huge beneficial properties. And Dallas additionally misplaced a fumble in Eagles territory, as Philly held on for a 24-20 victory.
With two barely shaky defenses, and two MVP candidates at quarterback for each of those groups, I anticipate each coaches to be aggressive on fourth down and of their play-calling.
PICK: Over 46.5 factors scored by each groups mixed
