Andy Reid doesn't drink coffee. Says he doesn't drink anything in the morning to get started, "I just get up and go. I have endless energy for a chubby guy"

Philadelphia Eagles vs Kansas City Chiefs (-1.5) - The Eagles have better receivers, a better running game, and maybe even a better defense that boasted one of the league's best turnover differential. That being said, the Chiefs defense isn't far behind if Chris Jones can replicate what he did his last few playoff games. Isaac Pacheco has looked spry in the recent weeks leading up to the playoffs so perhaps he can close the gap between the Eagles running backs of Sanders and Gainwell. And Kelce may do enough to mitigate Mahomes lack of a wide receiver threat for the 3rd consecutive week. The Chiefs did a surprisingly god job containing Higgins and Chase last week although they may be tested by AJ Brown.
Nick Sirianni was asked who on the Eagles he wouldn't let his daughter date.

Good to have Super Bowl Media Day back at full throttle!
Ultimately, for now I have more faith in Mahomes even while not 100% than Jalen Hurts. Hurts looked shaky last week although it was against a solid 49ers defense before the Josh Johnson episode happened. And Mahomes did have a few questionable and bad plays due to his ankle injury. But Mahomes did have his moments against the Bengals and looked very sharp in the the clutch where the Chiefs needed him, even if the Chiefs at times did benefit from some questionable calls from the referees . That being said not much separated these teams and it wouldn't surprise me if the Eagles defense manages to get the best of Mahomes. Although if the Chiefs can keep it close which they can do especially with Andy Reid going against his former teams, perhaps the Chiefs can pull off the slight upset.
