Chiefs vs Eagles Points Total Over/Under 50.5 points – Over at -110
I like the over in the Super Bowl for a few reasons. For starters, Patrick Mahomes’ ankle should be pretty close to 100% by the time Sunday rolls around. And even with a bum ankle, he has managed to move the ball pretty well against the Jaguars and Bengals in the last couple of games. This Eagles defense is being overestimated solely because they haven’t been tested at all recently. Their two playoff games en route to the Super Bowl were against Daniel Jones of the Giants and then a combination of Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson for San Francisco. Their last 2 regular-season games were against Davis Webb and Andy Dalton. The last time they faced a competent offense, they gave up 40 points to the Cowboys. The only other decent quarterback they faced over the past few months besides Dak Prescott was Aaron Rodgers, and they let the Packers score 33 on them. Almost every time the Eagles have played a decent passing attack this season, the game has turned into a shootout, such as when there were 73 total points scored in their matchup against the Lions.
The Eagles have scored at least 31 in each of their playoff games, and they’ve scored at least 31 in 6 of their past 9 overall. This is going to be the third Super Bowl for Mahomes and he has played in countless big games already in his young career, so he should be comfortable and locked in right from the start. Kansas City hasn’t put up fewer than 23 points in a game since all the way back on November 6. I’m confidently taking the over in this one.
