Gerry Dulac of the Post-Gazette is picking the Chiefs by three.
The Eagles have better talent at just about every offensive and defensive position but one — and Jalen Hurts is a pretty good second choice. Not only do they have the best offensive line in the league, they have a game-breaking difference maker with Saquon Barkley. But the Chiefs have better coaching and better schemes, most especially because of Andy Reid and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. And they have Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs receivers and running backs look pedestrian to what the Eagles have. On paper, the matchup easily favors the NFC champion. But until someone can beat Mahomes when it counts, it’s hard to bet against the Chiefs making it three in a row.
Prediction: Chiefs, 27-24
