I got it 30-27 KC.

Philly runs for over 200, turns it over once. Philly kicker misses a FG at some point.

KC turns it over twice.

KC wins the penalty battle slightly(angering conspiracy theorists that don't realize the last time a SB winner was more penalized than the loser was the 2013 season).

I think the people who screech about "conspiracy theorists" don't realize how easy it is to influence outcomes with a budget here and there. It's not like they're gift wrapping games for the Chiefs but just like the Pats before then it sure seems like every crucial questionable call in their games goes in their favor.

Let me see if the Pats ever lost a penalty battle during the Brady era.

The Chiefs haven't allowed a 100 yard rusher in their last 18 playoff games. Sure Barkley is better than most but that does include several matchup against Henry, and McCaffrey coming off a OPOY season. Could see the Eagles winning but I don't think they run for anywhere near 200. The Bills and Texans were able to run for a lot because the Chiefs had to adjust to stop those passing attacks -- the Eagles are much more limited passing the ball so the Chiefs can load up against the run. Also, Barkley is a big run guy, not someone who grinds out 10 yards on every play -- Chiefs are the best tackling D in the league so if they can limit the big runs I don't think Barkley will do much compared to his last few games.

 

Nothing will surprise me with this game but my guess is the Chiefs win a SB handily for the first time, 31-13 KC.

It's not about the overall penalty count and yardage. It's more about highly situational calls in key moments. A questionable beneficial penalty on 1st down in the 1st quarter deep in your own territory is a lot less impactful than a questionable beneficial penalty on 3rd and long in the 4th quarter on the brink of scoring range.

Yeah, as a Panthers fan I am painfully aware of that but the overall trend is a key thing too.

QB's have had success running against KC this year and this playoffs. I think Hurts gets over 40 rushing on them, if not more. I do thing they bottle up Barkley some but still net around 200 passing.

The issue will be I think they have real problems passing the ball.

Can't believe I will have to root for the Chiefs... Eagles fans are possibly the most insufferable bunch of fans around

I thankfully don't live in East pennsyltuckey and I only know one iggles fan, so go iggles although I think the chiets find a way to stop Barkley and get the win

      This would be a fantastic pick.

      They stayed with TD, and that paid off. I think people are wondering if the rumored interest is indicative of their thinking. You have to know they are working the cap all day--and looking at Horn's deal.  In the past, we dealt players with injury concerns--Horn has missed a season and a half.  We are about to invest a lot of money in him if we keep him.  Horn's CarFax report has 3 accidents on it.  You buyin'?  Just reading tea leaves.  I think I would keep him with the new training and conditioning staff-but I hear you.

      I also think you have to look at draft depth.  If a DT is the best player but you expect some good ones to be around in late round 2, do you take the edge, even though he might be a bit lower on your board, then take the DT later?  They always say, "We take BPA," but would 2 starters be better than 1?  Hard to say hypothetically, but if I know DTs are deep, I value them a bit less than an edge players, who I have higher on my board based on the scarcity of the talent at that position--this is, of course, if you enter the draft with needs that were not adequately addressed in free agency.  If we need a DT and an Edge, for example, let's say Graham, DT Michigan is ranked 22nd on your board.  There are 8 DTs expected to go later on day 2.  Pearce, Edge, Tennessee, is ranked 26th on your board but there are few Edge rushers with his skill set left in the draft--let's say 1 more until the talent level drops significantly.  Who do you take?
