Chiefs (-1.5, O/U 48.5) vs Eagles - February 9, 6:30 PM EST

• Moneyline: Chiefs -120 | Eagles +102

• Spread: Chiefs -1.5 (-105) | Eagles +1.5 (-115)

• Total: Over 48.5 (-110) | Under 48.5 (-110)

The Kansas City Chiefs have been favored in the Super Bowl since the opening line was released after Championship Sunday. The Eagles are the better team coming into Sunday, but they don’t have Patrick Mahomes. 

On Opening Night, Mahomes was asked how he embraced the villain role in the NFL. He said that if winning games makes us villains, we will keep winning. 

The quarterback has been one of the best in NFL history in close games, and this should be the case again on Sunday. However, Kansas City’s offense isn’t a concern because we know Mahomes will deliver. 

For the Chiefs to win, they must stop Saquon Barkley. Barkley is good enough to beat the best defenses in the NFL, which may be the case on Sunday. 

The Chiefs have delivered in high-leverage situations this season, but Barkley is good enough to derail their plans effectively. The running back has been the master of 100-yard performances this season. 

Steve Spaguolo will have a great game plan, but the Chiefs can only do so much to limit Barkley. Their biggest key to winning will be tackling, and if they do this, it puts them in a position to win the game. 

This is the biggest battle of the Super Bowl and the matchup that will decide if the Chiefs make history.
