Good morning to everyone but especially to...
THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS AND THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Super Bowl weekend is finally here. Let's party -- starting with picks. Most people are expecting a close one, and that includes our very own Pete Prisco:
Prisco: "If Patrick Mahomes has time — even with a bum ankle that he says has improved greatly since he hurt it three weeks ago — he will pick apart the Eagles secondary. So it basically comes down to the Chiefs offensive line. Can they hold up? ... On the other side of the ball, the Eagles offensive line has a huge edge. ... Give me the best quarterback in the league on the biggest stage. Mahomes will close out the season with the award trifecta: League MVP, Super Bowl MVP and another ring to add to his first one. Pick: Chiefs 33, Eagles 30"We also have picks from: John Breech | Jordan Dajani | Tyler Sullivan
As for best bets, Jordan has 57(!!!) of them, and here's two worth stringing together, in my opinion (show the tight ends some love!)
Dajani: "Travis Kelce total receptions: Over 6.5 (-184). Kelce has crossed this line in each postseason game, and likely will again on Sunday. That's why it's so juicy. Throw it in a same-game parlay. ... Dallas Goedert anytime TD (+170). Jalen Hurts' security blanket could score in the red zone. He caught a touchdown in the divisional round."I also recommend checking out this massive Super Bowl props guide, which features more than 500 picks from our friends at SportsLine.
Finally, I think we haven't fully appreciated just how great this quarterback battle is -- just the seventh Super Bowl between the two All-Pro quarterbacks. Here's where our Bryan DeArdo says it ranks among the all-time Super Bowl quarterback matchups.
And now, time for a super link dump fit for the Super Bowl. Our NFL team has been outstanding all season, and they've taken it to another level over the past few weeks:
And most important... Rihanna halftime show predictions!
