Super Bowl 2023 prediction, odds: Eagles’ balance may trump Chiefs’ resume

Powered by Caesars Sportsbook

The Super Bowl is upon us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better matchup to close the 2022 NFL season. It’s the No. 1-seed Chiefs against the No. 1-seed Eagles — a battle between two of the league’s most explosive offenses, two of this year’s MVP finalists, and both literal and proverbial brothers, with star siblings Travis and Jason Kelce squaring off on the field, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid up against the franchise that employed him for more than a decade.

Most Super Bowls feel like a true coin flip, and this one’s no different. Both the Eagles and Chiefs went 14-3 before winning conference titles, and both have showcased elite quarterback play with Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes, respectively. Betting against Mahomes and Reid in any circumstance feels foolish, but then again, no team has been as consistently well-rounded as Philadelphia. So which contender is our early pick to win it all? Find out below.

The guy comfortably led the NFL with a career-high 5,200+ passing yards, casually tossed 40+ touchdowns and then scrambled for clutch yards on a bad leg in the AFC title game, and not a single one of us batted an eye. His presence alone means Kansas City will be in this contest.
  • Travis “Always Open” Kelce: That slogan has been attached to the Eagles’ A.J. Brown this year, but no one deserves it…
