In their previous encounter during Super Bowl LVII, the Chiefs triumphed with a narrow 38-35 victory. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes leads the Chiefs, who are aiming to make history as the first NFL franchise to win three consecutive Super Bowls. In the AFC Championship, Mahomes showcased his skills by throwing for 245 yards and a touchdown while adding 43 rushing yards and two scores in a 32-point performance against the Buffalo Bills.
On the other side, the Eagles are facing injury challenges, with key players like DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert dealing with hamstring and ankle issues, respectively. Despite this, the Eagles` offense has been formidable in the playoffs, with quarterback Jalen Hurts completing 69.6% of his passes for 505 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. Running back Saquon Barkley has also been a standout, rushing for 442 yards and five touchdowns.
SportsLine`s advanced NFL model has simulated the game 10,000 times, projecting that the Over will hit in over 50% of simulations. Mahomes is expected to throw for 224 yards and two touchdowns, while Barkley is projected to accumulate nearly 150 all-purpose yards.
