The Chiefs of Kansas City, led by Patrick Mahomes, can enter the history of the NFL by winning a third Super Bowl in a row this Sunday. This will take the Eagles of Philadelphia.
After an intense regular season and slightly disappointing play-offs, make way for the Super Bowl! The most anticipated match of the year in the United States, all sports, will be played on the night of Saturday to Sunday at the Superdome Caesars in New Orleans. The kick-off will be given at 12:30 am French time (5.30 p.m. on the east coast of the United States). This 59th edition of the Super Bowl will oppose the Chiefs of Kansas City to the Eagles of Philadelphia, for a remake of the Super Bowl of two years ago won by the Chiefs at the end of the suspense (38-35).
Led by Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs have a unique opportunity to return from the history of the North American football league. The Missouri franchise can become the first to win the Super Bowl three times in a row, after having already beaten the Eagles two years ago then the 49ers of San Francisco last year, in Las Vegas (25-22 after prolongation ). Green Bay, Miami, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Dallas, Denver and New England, under Tom Brady, stopped in two. Patrick Mahomes, elected MVP of the last two Super Bowl, can also become the first to make three pass this evening.
The chiefs, the new “villains” of the NFL
If that happens, it should not help bring back its popularity coast. Because, as in many sports around the world, the team that wins too often Prust fans of all the other teams and it is starting to become the case in the United States. Accused of benefiting from favorable arbitration, the chiefs are not disturbed by these criticisms. Better still, they start to appreciate this role of “villains”, like Patrick Mahomes. “We think we are playing in the right way, with a lot of heart and passion, said the Kansas City quarterback. If winning football matches makes you a bad guy, we will continue to do it.”
To win this third consecutive Super Bowl, under the eyes of the American president Donald Trump who will be present in the lodges, the chiefs will have to beat the Eagles, who have the profile to resist and prevent this historic triplet. If bookmakers see the Missouri franchise as a favorite, this is not necessarily the case for specialists. According to ESPN’s predictions, which are based on advanced statistics, it is even Philadelphia which is the most likely to win this Sunday (56% against 44%).
The stars of the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs: Mahomes and Kelce against Hurts and Barkley
This opposition between the Eagles and the Chiefs is also a match between the stars of the two franchises. On the side of Kansas City, the one who attracts the light is obviously the Quaterback Patrick Mahomes, in the running to win his third Super Bowl in a row and his fourth in total. But the double MVP was less radiant during the regular season, despite the good record of the chiefs (15-2). He can rely on the attack on the inexhaustible Travis Kelce (whose partner is none other than the American star Taylor Swift) as well as on an iron defense.
On the Eagles side, the Jalen Hurts Quaterback will try to win his first Super Bowl at 26 years, after having known the defeat two years ago against this same team of chiefs. He has several good recipients (AJ Brown, Devonta Smith or Dallas Goedert) but also a very good game on the ground, an area where he is more comfortable than Patrick Mahomes. The other star of this team is undoubtedly the running back Saquon Barkley. He finished the regular season with 2005 yards of racing, missing for 100 yards per record in the matter. Determining in play-offs so far, Barkley may well be the X factor of this meeting.
