by The Philadelphia Eagles have edged the competition so far into the 2023 NFL playoffs, outscoring both of their opponents 69-14. Life won’t be so easy, however, when they line up against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in Super Bowl 57. Philadelphia (16-3) passed an inferior New York Giants team in the Divisional Round and then demolished a San Francisco squad who saw their defenders suffer injuries. Kansas City (16-3), which has won seven straight entering the 2023 Super Bowl, should offer a much greater challenge when it makes its third Super Bowl appearance in four years.

Why the Eagles Can Cover
Philadelphia had the fifth best rushing offense during the regular season, averaging 147.6 yards per game, and moved up a notch in the NFL playoffs in 2023. After gaining 268 yards on the ground against the Giants, who were six short of the franchise postseason record set in 1949, the Eagles rushed for 148 against a 49ers defense that was second against the rush (77.7 yards allowed). Kenneth Gainwell posted his first 100-yard performance in the win over New York, rushing for 112 and a touchdown and led the team with 48 in the NFC Championship Game.
Philadelphia led the NFL with 32 TDs in the regular season and recorded seven in the playoffs, with Miles Sanders, Boston Scott and quarterback Jalen Hurts each recording two. On the other side of the ball, the Eagles came within two sacks of an NFL single-season record of 72, set in 1984 by Chicago, and have scored eight this postseason. Linebacker Haason Reddick tied for second with a career-high 16 sacks this year and leads the league with 3.5 in the playoffs. The 28-year-old, who was selected by Arizona with the 13th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, is the first player in league history with at least 10 sacks in three consecutive seasons with three different teams.

Why the Chiefs can cover
Kansas City has a robust and versatile defense. The Chiefs finished the season ranked 11th in total defense (328.2) and eighth in run defense (107.2). This unit is headlined by defensive tackle Chris Jones, who has been an anchor in the middle of a defense that dominates against the rush and pass. The four-time Pro Bowler had 15.5 sacks and 17 tackles for loss. He’s coming off a two-sack performance in the AFC title game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Linebacker Nick Bolton played in the dark throughout the season. Bolton uses his speed and awareness to make plays with the ball. The Missouri native played 98% of all defensive snaps, ranking second in the NFL in total tackles (180). He recorded double-digit stops in 10 games, including the 2023 NFL playoffs. In the Wild Card Round against Jacksonville, Bolton had 10 total stops. See which team to choose here.
