Yeah, you only play the teams on the schedule. Problem is, the decent offenses on the Eagles’ schedule averaged like 35 points.
Mahomes has annihilated the NFC. Most games haven’t been close, including SF on the road this year, back when they actually had a QB.
Not to mention, Hurts is going to be more limited than Mahomes. [Reply]

CJ Gardner-Johnson is a good safety and was traded bc of the Saints abysmal cap situation and some other bullshit.
Hassan Reddick had 23.5 sacks and 8 forced fumbles the 2 years before he got to Philly this year. He was a known speed rusher with a lot of talent.
Those 3 helped them out a lot.
Having said that, I think the Chiefs could absolutely pull away in the mid 4th if they execute. The best thing Philly has going for them is their OL. If they don’t win there then it’s pretty much over for them.
They added Kyzir White as well and he's been playing well at LB.
TJ Edwards and Brandon Graham both played out of their minds this year and put up their best seasons ever.
Edwards is slow though and won't be able to keep up to Kelce. White isn't overly quick either, honestly, which is why he had to move from safety to LB.
Their constant rushing of 5 to get Reddick home could be what puts the dagger in them though. Mahomes slaughters the blitz. [Reply]

Well, that's kind of why I asked. But i also was interested in if they made any schematic changes, as I saw that Fangio became their 'defensive consultant,' at the beginning of the season, and he knows Pat and the Chiefs old offense pretty well. So that might slow down the Chiefs offense a bit at first. [Reply]

Definitely over by half, but hey the rest of your Sunday you can do something more productive to get your mind off getting your ass beat. [Reply]
I don't understand how anyone would think this game would be over at the half. These are two good teams and nobody is giving up. Even the Tampa superbowl 2 years ago, the game looked bleak but who thought it was over at the half? [Reply]

I think you mistakenly posted here instead of the “What Strain Of Weed are you currently Smoking” part of the forum. [Reply]

You may want to rethink that position. Even if the Eagles have the lead at halftime, that is no guarantee of victory. In fact it bodes the opposite. Know what Mahomes winning percentage is when trailing at the half? https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-stats-a...f-among-hofers [Reply]
