Daily News | Eagles-Chiefs predictions: Our beat writers make their picks for Super Bowl LVII
I see a close game, a coin flip, if you will. Maybe the actual coin flip decides the outcome of thisBoth teams when they’ve won the toss have overwhelmingly deferred — the Eagles all 13 times and the Chiefs on 9 of 10. The one time Andy Reid elected to receive against Jacksonville in Week 10, Doug Pederson dialed up an onside kick and the Jaguars recovered.
The Eagles, conversely, have a decided advantage with whomever they line up over right tackle Andrew Wylie. Haason Reddick could have another field day. Gannon is likely to bracket coverage toward the tight end Travis Kelce, and I think the defensive coordinator’s two-high safety coverages are ideal for containing Mahomes. But Mahomes has become more patient without Tyreek Hill, and ultimately, I’m going with the better quarterback. That’s not a knock on Hurts.
History in these games typically favors the team with experienced coaches like Reid and utterly dominant quarterbacks like Mahomes. That’s the case for Kansas City.
