main match
- Chiefs TE Travis Kelsey vs. Eagles S CJ Gardner Johnson: No one is more consistently open than Kelce, who stars as Mahomes’ top target in the biggest moments, and Philly will likely need multiple bodies to keep the number 87 under wraps. Gardner Johnson is the most logical candidate behind the big man who has played in both the nickel corner and safety.
- Chiefs OT Orlando Brown Jr. vs. Eagles LB Herson Reddick: Protecting Mahomes is a top priority for Kansas City. The star’s quarterback is at least recovering from a high ankle sprain that limped against the Bengals. While Brown has held the blindside well, Reddick was one wrecking crew member as a stand-up rusher for the Eagles, knocking both Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson out of the NFC Championship.
- Eagles WR Devonta Smith vs. Chiefs CB Jaylen Watson: The latter had a busy postseason and picked both Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow. We could have our hands full against Smith, who has proven to be one of the route runners and jumping ball artists.

predict
It was the best possible Super Bowl matchup of the four possibilities on Championship Sunday due to the connections between the two sides in the Reed vs. Philly and Kelse vs. Kelse angles, but the Because we pitted one very reliable offense in . against another. Mahomes and Hurts have been the most consistent playmakers at that position for most of 2022, and we think both his QBs have a decent chance in this game. Mahomes said it would take him a week to recover from his injured ankle before returning to the field. Hearts will face a much more vulnerable pass ‘D’ as opposed to San Francisco. The Mahomes-Reid contingent is clearly there and doing it, so it’s hard to bet on them. Give it a little nod. Call it 28-27 Eagles win.
