Yeah, even if I have a team on the field, the first thing I want to see is a good game. Even if my guys lose.
I'm a pretty big Mahomes fan. So if we get a good game and he wins, I'll be super happy.

Two predictions:
1.) Eagles so much as blow a kiss at Mahomes and it will be roughing the passer.
2.) Meanwhile Hurts will be pile driven with nary a flag

Touchdown! Greaser!
From what I understand it is some sort of sporting contest where grown men squabble over their wrinkly leather ball.
It isn't being advertised much...
Not much money involved, either. I understand both teams fight just to get a quarter back.

It'll never happen, and for good reason. The NFL is *by far* the best of the major sports leagues at keeping their game exciting and competitive. Salary cap and revenue sharing put all the teams on equal footing so you can't have one team that just buys championships a la the Yankees. And the competition committee looks at the rules all the time and massages them to keep the game exciting and competitive. While there are bad owners who still manage to consistently lose (I'm lookin' at you, McCaskeys), there's only a handful of perennial losers, and in any given season you probably start with 20-25 of the 32 teams having a legitimate shot to win the big game. Even KC, who has a great coach and has been lucky/good enough to get players like Mahomes and Kelce in the draft and has won their division every year for the past decade, they've "only" made it to the Super Bowl half of those years. Finally, it's not all that common for a team to even make it to the Super Bowl two years in a row, much less win, which is probably why we're almost 60 years in and nobody has had a three-peat yet.
If anyone's going to do it soon, though, it is the Chiefs. Since Mahomes became the starter, they've at least made it to the AFC Championship game every single year. If they do that again next year, they'll tie the 2011-2018 Patriots as the only teams to have made it to 8 straight conference championships.
That's fer dang sure. Looks like he's playing soccer out there sometimes.
You know, as a fan of a team that gets accused of being helped by the refs (except when they're being hurt by the refs), I ignored all of that... But then when I finally watched the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, I kinda saw what everyone was talking about. There did seem to be a bit of a slant.

Line Up and Wait
So as a lifelong Chiefs fan I will be thrilled if they win. We dealt with awful teams and players for so long, it’s nice to be on top for a bit. I know that this kind of league dominance doesn’t come along often, and I was a big time hater of the patriots during their dynasty, so I don’t begrudge anybody who dislikes the fact that the chiefs are winning a lot. (Albeit without the whole Spygate, deflated footballs, etc.) I remember feeling like Brady got calls other QBs wouldn’t, but the longer and harder I looked, I’m not sure that it wasn’t just a confirmation bias.
Regarding OP’s actual question, I think that if it is a close game, the chiefs probably pull it out. If it’s a runaway, it will be by the Eagles. (Oh yeah, did I mention that I live in Eagles country, so I’m never hearing the end of this either way…)
Jalen Hurts has proven that he is a top tier QB and Saquon Barkley is literally having a season for the ages. I will not at all be surprised if they win. They are a championship caliber team. If the Chiefs win, it will be a matter of experience and clutch moment plays on both sides of the ball. Chris Jones is going to do everything humanly possible to go straight through Philly’s O-line to bury Hurts and the Chiefs secondary should be able to limit the damage, but has shown some vulnerability to the deep ball.
I actually expected this game to be Josh Allen vs Hurts, and while I’m not at all complaining about being in this position, I think Buffalo was the best team out there.
Soooo, I guess we’ll all find out in a few days. I’ll be watching it at 7:30am in the Philippines.
