The Big Game is there while the Chiefs of Kansas City face the Eagles of Philadelphia at the Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans. Who will emerge triumphant?
Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs continue a three historic peat; Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and Aj Brown are looking to take revenge on the Eagles.
Kansas City won a 38-35 thriller in 2023 In Arizona and something as it will go very well again.
The Eagles generally have the best side, a star list, but the chiefs have this winning mentality and won narrow victories all season.
So who will raise the Vince Lombardi trophy in the Superdome on Sunday? We obtained our experts from the BBC NFL, some of the best sports analysts and NFL players to do their predictions.
Columnist of the BBC Phoebe Schecter: Many people say the chefs, but I went against the grain and I say the Eagles. I think it will be by a basket.
The way these two teams play, the way these two defenses play, they will be able to keep it tight, in particular the defense of the Eagles does not allow explosive games.
But the key will be the way the chefs will stop Saquon Barkley. The four main runners against whom they faced – Bijan Robinson, Derrick Henry, Bucky Irving, Chubbard Chubard – They all maintained them within 58 meters.
My head says I want to see the chefs make the story, my heart says that I like the Eagles – let someone else have a chance. And it’s Saquon’s birthday then, come on, give the man a gift!
Score: Chiefs 24-27 Eagles
MVP: Saquon Barkley
Rob Stanton, BBC Radio 5 Live NFL Host: The chiefs continue to find a way to do the work. How can you bet against Patrick Mahomes at this stage? I think it will be close and the Eagles will have a blow but Mahomes finds a way to win another Super Bowl at the end.
Score: Chiefs 30-27 Eagles
MVP: Patrick Mahomes
Paul Higham, BBC Sport: These large games are always limited to the reversals, third stockings and the finest details – and coaches Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo have better prepared the chiefs for these moments of crunch than anyone.
This is why they win all these close matches – that and Patrick Mahomes, of course. So, even with all the talents that the Eagles have, I have to stick to the chefs to create the story.
Score: Chiefs 27-24 Eagles
MVP: Patrick Mahomes
Ben Collins, BBC Sport: It may not be flashy, but it is not an accident that the chiefs continue to win tight matches. With these teams so uniformly equal, I wait for another near, Patrick Mahomes, doing just enough again.
Score: Chiefs 24-21 Eagles
MVP: Patrick Mahomes
Washington EFE Obada commanders defensive: Unfortunately, I saw in the first hand that Eagles can blow teams. If the chiefs cannot contain Barkley, Hurts and the Eagles who receive the body early, I think it will be very difficult.
But Mahomes is a magician who can dig them from this hole, so it is very difficult to bet against him. I think it’s 50-50.
Los Angeles Chargers Kicker Cameron Dicker: I think the Eagles will win. I hate chefs – you have to hate chefs as a charger – so I can’t see them win. I think that line D for Eagles will dominate and that Saquon looks unstoppable.
Kenny Moore Indianapolis colt corner: The name of the game directs football. Philadelphia has a unique and effective physical racing game, so Kansas City must stop the race, above all.
For the Eagles, they must mix the race and pass and let be saquon. I have it 30-27 Philly.
Pittsburgh Steelers Tackle defensive Larry Ogunjobi: For chiefs, the key is to stop the racing game. For the Eagles, this prevents Patrick Mahomes and this link he has with Travis Kelce. It should be exciting, I’m going to 20-17 chefs.
Large receiver from Jacksonville Jaguars Brian Thomas Jnr: I won the chiefs. If they keep the game near, Patrick Mahomes will manage the rest from there. If they go there and play hard, do what they know they can do, then the chefs will bring him home.
Defensive striker of the Falcons of Atlanta Grady Jarrett: I think the keys will affect the quarter and stop the race. It seems simple – but with the ball carrier, the Eagles have and the quarters they both have, it will be the key.
NFL Jason Bell analyst: You have to dethrone the Mahomes. Until someone does this, you have to support the chefs. Josh Allen approached but not close enough – and it’s the MVP.
You just need to look at what Mahomes does in third bottom. They are crucial, this is how you really assess a quarter.
The actor Wire and is suitable Wendell Pearce: Whoever returns the ball will lose – is the protection of the ball, so the one who wins the battle for turnover wins the match. If there are no turnover, then the one who has the ball last. I go for 27-31 (at Eagles).
The Taylor Rooks sports broadcaster: I go with the Eagles. The leaders who make the story would be great, but I like the story of Saquon Barkley, the journey he made, the phenomenal year he had. I was there two years ago when the Eagles have just lost so I want to see them take it this time. 21-28.
Jerry Jones, owner of Dallas Cowboys: Candle, if Philadelphia can succeed … They are from our division … I don’t like Eagles, they are one of our greatest rivals, so I will raise about three in the morning and cry out in my pillow. This is what you will hear through New Orleans.
