The Eagles beat the 49ers in the NFC Championship to earn their Super Bowl berth after opening +4000 to win the Super Bowl before the season. The Chiefs beat the Bengals by a field goal to get revenge after losing to them in the AFC Conference Championship game last season. The Chiefs opened the season at +700 to win the Super Bowl and have put themselves in a position to get it done. It should be a competitive game between two of the best teams in the league. Super Bowl LVII will be played in Glendale, Ariz., on Feb. 12 at 6:30 p.m. EST.
The Eagles' defensive front has wreaked havoc on quarterbacks throughout the season, and it was no different against the 49ers. Haason Reddick had two sacks, one a strip sack and recovered a fumble on a Josh Johnson fumbled snap. He had 16 sacks in the regular season and now has 3.5 sacks in the postseason thus far. The Eagles' defense has eight total sacks this postseason and held each of their opponents to seven points. They are also the best team in the league at defending the pass, partly due to their pass rush, and only allow 179.8 passing yards per game. They offer an intimidating matchup for every opponent.
On offense, they picked up right where they left off in the regular season. They ran for 268 yards in their second-round game with the Giants and 148 yards against the 49ers. They also have not turned the ball over this postseason, which is not surprising because they only had 19 turnovers with a +8-turnover differential. Jalen Hurts will have a couple more weeks for his shoulder to heal, which forced him out of two games in weeks 16 and 17. His rushing ability makes this offense one of the most efficient in the league, scoring 28.1 points per game.
The Chiefs' defense only ranked behind the Eagles in sacks during the regular season and used that pressure to rattle Joe Burrow in the NFC Conference Championship. They racked up five sacks: Chris Jones with two and Frank Clark with 1.5. They also forced two interceptions, which is not something they did well during the regular season. However, they have forced three interceptions in their two postseason matchups.
