Jason Kelce is a center for the Eagles. His more famous brother Travis Kelce is the tight end for the Chiefs. First time brothers will be facing off in the Super Bowl. Biggest question is what their parents will be wearing lol

Apparently, this is the first Super Bowl in which both starting quarterbacks are black.
Andy Reid passed Tom Landry for second spot in playoff wins for a coach.

Buying a TD, my initial hunch bet is : KC + 9 with the OVER 43, - 140 . Thank me later ! My lucky prop bet yesterday was that all four teams score min 1 TD, got lucky with 2 Philly mis-tackles and a lucky McCaffrey rushing TD run which saved my Sunday. Praying does work when watching sports ! 🙏
During the week, many professional bettors were waiting for the late PHILLY spread to go to 3 so they could take SF + 3 . That + 3 points only covered for about 5 mins and 12 seconds yesterday as most SF backers turned off the tv after that first PHILLY TD . .

Tony Romo is getting roasted for something he almost said, "the best tackling team in the NFL and three ni...missed the tackle". In describing Isiah Pacheco's 23 yd catch and run.

I'm going to give Romo the benefit of the doubt, he meant to say "three neat guys missed the tackle".

That penalty!.....Like really? What are you thinking?

Mahomes is a warrior though. Holly Christ. Eagles are going to bury them I think.
Elite players find a way to win even when less than 100%. Mahomes is elite. And damn Chris Jones was on a mission. The Bengals offensive line got crushed last night. That was the difference in the game.
On another note I thought that the officiating was substandard. These guys doing the playoffs are supposed to the cream of the officiating crop. Could have fooled me.

I'm so cocky I think I can predict sports futures and I had two small bets: 1) Bills over SF for the S/B , 2) SF over Bills ( hedge ) . Both dead and not even close. UGH ! On a different betting site, I have left to win : KC and the Boston Bruins ( NHL ) which I think is totally doable. I should start a new thread and use it for secondary bet bid/offers like we do at work. LOL ! Any math geniuses here on TERB who can calculate present value intrinsic prices ?

Ulner collateral ligament (UCL) links the two bones in the elbow. 49ers QB Brock Purdy suffered a complete tear of the UCL in his throwing arm. Out at least 6 months. A player no one thought much of got a chance and played heroically. Now out. Life can be cruel sometimes

I think the last Bengals 3rd down they had 6 yards to go, that was their TSN turning point. The game was 20 - 20 for quite a bit and I had CIN M/L over 48 ( UGH ) or KC M/L UNDER 58, so I had to root for KC the remainder of the 4th quarter. CINCY 27 - 20 would kill all my bets. Why do they permit gambling ? LOL !

And his coaching staff let him back in the game? Even though he was handing off the ball, strange things happen in the NFL. A botched hand-off, sack, etc. Any of those could have made that injury worse.

If I was on that team I would be pissed that the coach did not let McCaffery take over the QB duties. At least he would have attempted some passes. The Eagles were jammed up at the line and waited for the runner like bears during salmon season.

Cincy had the chance to win it at the end and could not get the job done.

The two week break should help Mahomes.

I'm guessing Eagles will be favoured by about 2.
They should be favored, the Eagles are a better team from top to bottom, except at QB. The Eagles are going try and run the ball down the throats of the Chiefs, but Jalen Hurts is going to have to be better in the passing game than he was against the 49ers. Hurts didn't have to do much against the 49ers, because the 49ers offense died with Purdy's elbow. The Eagles could control the game and the clock and maybe score a few FG's instead of TD's. Then be up only around 10 or 12 pts, then let Mahomes hit a couple late TD passes and steal the game. Kind of like the way the Chiefs beat the 49ers in that SB a few years ago.

Yes, the officiating was below the level it should have been. Many crucial and questionable calls were whistled against Cincy.

Spags schemed to get Jones one on one throughout the game against Cincy's 3, not 2, nor 1, but 3 2nd string linemen, hence "Don't disrespect Arrowhead, EVER!" Jonesy came away looking like Godzilla.

I disagree that the 60% , 2nd string Cincy O-line's performance was the difference in the game. The difference in the game was the 29 yd return allowed by Cincy preceding the game winning drive and field goal and the absolute boneheaded out of bounds tackle on Mahomes that moved KC's field goal 15 yards closer.

Mahomes outperformed Burrow by a country mile on a gimpy right leg. Burrow threw 2 costly interceptions. Mahomes threw 2 incredible touchdowns, one on 4th and 1 and the other threaded the needle. Crowning Burrow best QB in the NFL, as many did, was premature
