Despite ennui over a possible threepeat by KC, I never find excellence boring. I found Tom Brady and the Patriots annoying, but they were never boring.
Although it broke my Commander heart. it was exciting to watch Barkley, and the Philadelphia defense. It was a thing of beauty. Even Hurts had flashes of beauty. We saw Phillys' best
OTOH KC has been on cruise control I feel as though KC can answer any score by Philly. Let's be honest WC did not have a winning game plan. Barkley will get his 2 TD. Who knows what Hurts will do.
So, quarterbacks beat running backs. Hurts can never beat Mahomes. Could Barkley plus Hurts beat Mahomes? Is the Eagles defense good to turn Mahomes into a mere mortal?
BTW I did this homework foe the Commanders. Sigh.
I am not sure what to say here. If you wait for the receiver to be open,,it is often too late. If the ball gets picked off, you have a defense that can bail you out.
So, Phillys' FG kicker sucks, Barkley will ever score or setup 2 td. Hurts will score via either throw, run or set up 1td. KC will score 3td and 2 FG.
Either Philly will have the final drive and fail, or KC will have the final drive and score.
Final
KC 27
Philly 24
COIN TOSS-6-4 KC
CAVEAT: FOR FUN ONLY. BET AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Never post odds in teams you hate. I hope no one lost money.
KC should not feel so bad. The Eagles were unbeatable. When they score you have to respond. Even when you crack their defensive code, they have a knack for forcing a turnover. They are like a boa constrictor. They let you breathe in then they tighten down. Now you are two scores down becoming more desperate.
They have a dynasty in the making.
