Eagles vs Chiefs Super Bowl LVII Predictions

The Super Bowl will be played at 6:30 p.m. ET on Fox, and there has been much debate about which team will come out victorious.

The All Hurricanes crew wanted to give their own individual thoughts about the contest, and below will be capsules of what each writer believes will transpire from tonight's game.

First, the baseline with betting odds with quarterback Jalen Hurts leading the favored Philadelphia Eagles playing fellow quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

SI Sportsbook Odds: Philadelphia -1.5 over Kansas City

Moneyline: Kansas City (+105) and Philadelphia (-125)

Over/Under: 51

Who's going to win Super Bowl LVII? Here's what each of us believes will happen.

Alex Donno - Philadelphia Eagles 31 - Kansas City Chiefs 27

I expect this game to fully deliver with everything from the action on the field to the Rihanna halftime show. The Chiefs have the better quarterback but the Eagles have the better team from top to bottom. Patrick Mahomes has enjoyed an extra week off for his injured ankle, but will still have a tough matchup against the top passing defense and sixth-rated total D in the NFL. His ability to improvise and create big plays will keep the Chiefs in this one. I am expecting at least one touchdown reception from Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. 

The Eagles offensive line will set the tone when Philly has the ball. I'm expecting just enough big plays from quarterback Jalen Hurts to top targets AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith. This game almost feels like a coin flip to me but I expect Philly to pull it out late.

This evening Patrick Mahomes will be playing in his third Super Bowl, having lost the previous to Tampa Bay and won the other against San Fransisco. He may only be 27, but this game has a lot on the line for Mahomes in terms of his legacy. Assuming he'll be healthy, I expect we see one of the best Mahomes performances of his career.

However the Eagles will have something to say for that, as they'll make life hard for Kansas City with their defensive line bound to cause problems. Expect Haason Reddick to make his impact heard throughout this game.

At the end of the day, this game will come down to who can keep their quarterback best protected in times of need. Kansas City will also make Jalen Hurts worry with the presence of Chris Jones on the interior. I believe the Eagles are going to make this a close one, but I think Mahomes isn't going to let another Super Bowl slip away from him. I predict a game winning field goal by Harrison Butker to seal the deal for KC.

Rowdy Baribeau - Philadelphia Eagles 30 - Kansas City Chiefs 27

As a fan of high-power offenses, I expect this one to be a high-scoring affair. However, with both quarterbacks battling their fair share of injuries, the game may not possess the fireworks it would if they were completely healthy. 

The Key to success for the Eagles is to stop Travis Kelce. Kelce has not only turned into one of the league's best safety nets, but is actively cementing himself as one of the best tight ends the NFL has seen. Stopping him is easier said than done, considering the Chiefs have plenty of skill-position players to get the job done. 

As for the Chiefs, many say stopping the run is imperative. Yes, but containing the run-pass-option game is more imperative. The RPO game has helped the Eagles have such success from the quarterback run, to the normal inside zone. It's a triple threat that not many teams have been able to stop, which is precisely why the Eagles are where they are. 

Despite Hurts' shoulder injury, he can be efficient in the short game which is all the Eagles will need in their RPO game. 

I have the Eagles because I'm a true believer in Nick Sirianni and the offense he's implemented in Philadelphia. I think it causes too much for the Chiefs to account for and even if the Chiefs' defense gets into a rhythm early, Sirianni has shown an ability to improvise. He's had to with Hurts' shoulder injury already, and the Eagles haven't had much of a dip in success.

The more I look into this game, from an X's and O's perspective, the Eagles have several glaring advantages. From trench play on both sides of the ball, secondary play and of course the ability to run the football from the entire depth of the backfield. However, there are simply some 'in the margin' X-factors that push the intangible towards the Chiefs. Of course Andy Reid's experience and creativity in these big game scenarios combined with NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes in the same light, even with the high ankle sprain, creates so much benefit of the doubt. 

The resumes are the same, as has been the story of this two-week build-up -- but the road to Sunday has been quite different of late. Philadelphia's path to forever glory has been much smoother, and simpler, than that of the already more-experienced Chiefs. Having to cool a red-hot Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow in consecutive weeks is much more impressive than Philly's path of overmatched division rival New York and quarterback-depleted San Francisco. Throw in uncertainties around Jalen Hurts' health and the intangible advantage for KC only grows. 

Brian Smith - Philadelphia 24 - Kansas City 21

To get started, I like the under with this contest. Why? Mahomes is not 100% and the Eagles like to grind out the clock. There will be a possession or two less in this game compared to many other Super Bowls.

Look for Hurts and the Eagles to be methodical, take downfield shots when possible, and stick to their game plan. Wide receiver AJ Brown will be a pivotal player, scoring a touchdown and catching five passes. 

The Chiefs will struggle to run the football, but Mahomes will also make some special plays like he usually does. In the end, Philadelphia's ball-control offense will win out, however.
