What an amazing late clash we have in store in the NFL on Week 10, as the Kansas City Chiefs travel to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a replay of Superbowl LVII. These are the two best teams so far in the NFL after 9 games. This clash comes through the halfway point of the regular season. The best team in the AFC facing the best from the NFC: how could this not be an exciting encounter? Mahomes and the Chiefs are 7-2 so far, losing their opener to surprise team Detroit Lions. They also lost to a resurgent Denver Broncos side on October 29th, but won every other game this season.
On the other hand. the Eagles are 8-1, only losing to the Jets in NY in the middle of October. The Eagles had a relatively easy schedule so far, only facing the Cowboys and Dolphins among the best teams. However, Philadelphia are now facing the Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, Cowboys and Seahawks in their next 5 games. Jalen Hurts is also challenging Mahomes for the denomination of bet quarterback in the NFT this season – alongside Jackson and Goff.
This fixture may well re-occur in early February in Superbowl LVIII in Las Vegas once again after last year. Both Chiefs and Eagles have been relatively dominant after their exploits in the playoffs last season. The Eagles will be eager to get revenge on home ground after the Superbowl loss, as Hurts has everything to prove against Mahomes. This will be an intriguing match: the bookmakers have the Chiefs favourites, but we’ll go for a close Eagles win. In this replay of Superbowl LVII, pride is at stake, and the Eagles have it all to prove if they want to contend once again.
Kansas City Chiefs to Win – 1.71
Philadelphia Eagles to Win – 2.25
