Hate it if you like, but this is going to be a legitimately good game. The last time they played Jalen nearly won it by himself, and this time, they have some actual offensive firepower.

Whether or not it can hold up to the Chiefs' D line is another matter entirely. You may be able to slow down Chris Jones, but then you have to have a plan for Furious George too. And if you slow down George, then you have to have a plan for Nick Bolton too.

Its going to be a crazy matchup. I don't know how literally any team gameplans against Eagles O-Line plus Saquan. That combo just shreds defenses and makes them look silly. That said, if anyone can do it, it would be Andy and Spags.

I've said all season the Chiefs have a way of dragging you down in the mud with them, confident that they are just slightly better than you are at being a dirty pig. People on here just seem to bitch about refball but that is a whiny and pointless take.

The only thing you can really say about the Eagles was that it took them way too long to get their coaching squared away. Once they did that, they dominated.

I've watched this Chiefs team for far too long and only really get nervous when they're down three touchdowns. They did a great job handling Derrick Henry, so that makes me optimistic about the RB matchup, but in the last Super Bowl they played Jalen nearly won it by himself, so one can't really underestimate his ability to show up big when needed.

I think it's going to be fun.
