Andy Reid will try to become the fourth head coach in NFL history with 200 regular-season wins and multiple championships when his Kansas City Chiefs meet the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 57 on Sunday. Reid, who has notched 247 victories and won the Vince Lombardi Trophy in 2019, hopes to join Don Shula, Bill Belichick and Tom Landry in that exclusive club when he leads Kansas City (16-3) to battle against his former team in the 2023 Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Nick Sirianni is looking to win the title in his second season at the helm with Philadelphia (16-3) and exact revenge on Reid, who did not retain him as wide receivers coach after joining the Chiefs in 2013.

Why the Eagles can cover
Even though the job in the NFC Championship Game was made easier by injuries to both of San Francisco's quarterbacks, no team has been as dominant during the 2023 NFL playoffs as Philadelphia. The Eagles' defense held the Giants to just 227 yards of offense in the divisional round and a 49ers offense that still had Christian McCaffrey to 164 yards. The task will be tougher against Kansas City, but since Week 13, only three opponents have gone over 300 yards of offense against Philadelphia.
Philadelphia's defense forced a turnover in all but two games this season and finished with three against the 49ers. For as good as the Chiefs are, they aren't immune to turning the ball over, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes is still likely to be uncomfortable from the high ankle sprained he suffered in the divisional round against Jacksonville. The model predicts that Philadelphia's defense will tally at least three sacks and recover a fumble, giving them a legitimate chance to win on Super Bowl Sunday 2023. See which team to pick here.
Why the Chiefs can cover
While Philadelphia ranked second in total defense (301.5 yards) and was first against the pass (179.8) during the regular season, Kansas City was the league's top offensive team. The Chiefs finished first in total offense (413.6 yards) and passing offense (297.8) while also averaging a league-best 29.2 points per contest. The team had the most passing touchdowns in 2022 with 41, all by Patrick Mahomes, who led the NFL in that category as well as passing yards (career-high 5,250).
The Eagles will pay close attention to tight end Travis Kelce, who has been Mahomes' top target in the 2023 NFL playoffs (21 catches, 176 yards, 3 TDs) after finishing in the top eight during the regular season in receptions (third, 110), yards (eighth, 1,338) and touchdown catches (second, 12). That could mean big things for wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who has hauled in a scoring pass in each of the Chiefs' first two playoff games and finished with 116 yards on six catches against Cincinnati in the AFC Championship Game. Kansas City also may get Jerick McKinnon more involved, as the running back has just two receptions for 17 yards this postseason after making 56 catches for 512 yards and nine TDs in 2022.
