(1) Kansas City Chiefs (14-3) vs (1) Philadelphia Eagles (14-3)    KC+1 ½

In the NFC Championship game, the PHILLY DEF knocked out SF QB Brock Purdy and that was the game right there. QB Josh Johnson came in for SF but he suffered a concussion. An injured Purdy had to come back in but couldn’t throw the ball and SF had to settle for a game where they could only run and not pass. The PHILLY DEF adjusted their game to the run and SF could not get going. It was later discovered that Purdy had torn his UCL in his elbow and would require surgery in the off-season. PHILLY ended up winning 31-7. Had Purdy not gotten injured, I think that SF would have made it a much better game but in the end, PHILLY would have won and covered the -2 ½ pt. In the AFC Championship game @KC, it was more of a seesaw game with CINNCY. Even though KC took a 13-3 lead in this game, the CINNCY coaching staff is smart enough to make adjustments and stop any kind of bleeding. Sure enough CINNCY tied the game at 13-13 and then tied it again at 20-20. CINNCY had the ball with :56 seconds left and the score was tied at 20. I strongly felt that CINNCY would drive down the field and kick the winning fg. However, it was not meant to be as CINNCY punted and KC found a way to get positioning for them to kick a fg and win 23-20. It was anyone’s game but KC prevailed. This is the matchup right here for KC. KC #1 TOT OFF w/#1 PASS OFF vs PHILLY #1 TOT DEF w/#1 PASS DEF. With KC QB Pat Mahomes, the OFF is explosive and feels like they can score at any time because Mahomes sees the field very well. KC TE Travis Kelce seems to be always open and has become Mahomes favorite target. But the PHILLY DEF can get you from anywhere. PHILLY had 70 sacks in the regular season with 4 players in double digits. They also have a secondary of veterans that can swarm and make tackles. On the other side, PHILLY has many weapons on OFF and QB Jalen Hurts doesn’t make too many mistakes. He is patient and has gotten better this season at taking what the DEF gives him. PHILLY #3 TOT OFF w/ #5 RUSH OFF & #9 PASS OFF vs KC #10 TOT DEF w/#8 RUSH DEF & #19 PASS DEF. The KC DEF can be beaten if Hurts is patient.  I don’t know if they will be able to cover all of the weapons on OFF that PHILLY has. This will certainly be a good game and turnovers will be costly in this game. I like PHILLY winning this game and winning by 10pts. PHILLY is just too good and can beat you on both sides of the ball. PHILLY will certainly create some turnovers which will turn into points for PHILLY. KC has to play a perfect game to beat PHILLY and I don’t see that happening. Even a 100% healthy Mahomes would have his hands full with PHILLY DEF. Lay the points here and enjoy the game.

THE PICK: PHIILY- 1 ½

SEE YOU NEXT SEASON!
