Why the Eagles can cover
The Eagles lead the NFL in rushing defense, giving up only 66.3 yards per game on the ground, and Philadelphia also leads the league in giving up only three rushing touchdowns. Opponents are averaging 3.7 yards per carry against Philadelphia, and pass rush is a strength of the Eagles. The Eagles have 100 sacks since the start of the 2022 season, easily leading the NFL, and Philadelphia is the first team with 100 sacks over a 26-game span since 2014.
The Eagles should also benefit from ball security issues for Kansas City, as the Chiefs have third-most turnovers (17) in the league. In addition, Kansas City scuffled badly on offense before the bye week. The Chiefs just finished back-to-back games with 14 points or fewer while falling short of 275 total yards in both games. Kansas City also sputtered badly in the second half of both contests, failing to score a single point across four quarters. See which team to pick here.
Why the Chiefs can cover
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is 7-0 in his career against the Philadelphia Eagles. Reid is also arguably the best coach in preparing his team off a bye week, with his teams posting a 21-3 regular season record after a bye, No. 1 all-time. Reid is flanked by Patrick Mahomes, who is 16-2 in the month of November and 71-18 overall in his career, the best mark of any quarterback since 1970. Mahomes ranks in the top six in total offense, completions, passing touchdowns, sack rate, and QBR this season and leads the league in yards (270) and first downs (160) in scramble situations.
Kansas City's offense is highly prolific, averaging 368.7 total yards per game and generating 193 first downs this season. The Chiefs have allowed the fewest sacks (38) since the start of the 2022 season, and Kansas City held Philadelphia without a single sack in the team's Super Bowl win. The Chiefs also convert more than 45% of third down chances, and Philadelphia ranks No. 25 in the league in defensive third down efficiency (42.6%). See which team to pick here.
